Chapter 12

They pulled up next to an old banged-up Jeep, and Shandi gasped at the view. “Oh it’s beautiful!”

“Yeah, this is one of my favorite places to think,” Ryley said, as he stared dreamily out the front windshield.

There was a small, rocky beach that faded into the dark greenish-blue waters of a beautiful lake. Trees encircled the lake nearly to its borders, all the way around its perimeter. She could see a dock on the other side, but she didn’t see anyone else on the lake in a boat or on the banks.

A soft huffing sound caught her attention as she let Ryley help her from the SUV, and she spun to see what was behind the Jeep. A tall man with silver hair and piercing blue eyes stepped into view. He wore a button-down flannel shirt over well-worn jeans and beat-up tennis shoes. For being old enough to be her father, he was a very good-looking man, and Shandi smiled in response to his hello.

“I’m Henley Gray,” he said, reaching out to shake her hand. His grip was firm, but not uncomfortable, and his eyes were friendly.

“I’m Shandi Martin, nice to meet you. I take it you’re the dad these two keep telling me I have to meet?” she said playfully.

“That would be me. Are they treating you right? I’d be happy to knock a few heads if not. They should be groveling at the feet of such a beautiful woman,” Henley said, and Shandi giggled as a blush heated her cheeks.

“Well, I know where they learned how to flirt now,” she teased.

“Nope, that’s natural. All wol…family members seem to come by it naturally,” Ryley said, and Shandi’s gaze narrowed in on him. What had he started to say that had Henley and Rafe both throwing him murderous looks? What an odd family they were.

“Aren’t you two adopted?” she asked, and Ryley nodded.

“Okay, so perhaps a bit of it is learned behavior. Are you complaining?” he said with a raised eyebrow.

She shook her head, and took the fishing pole Rafe handed to her. “Nope, you all are great for my ego.”

All three men laughed and began pulling out fishing poles, tackle, and chairs from the back of the SUV. They led her to the small rocky space where Henley already had a folding chair set up with his pole resting against it.

“I haven’t caught anything but a few winks,” Henley said as he unfolded a chair near his for Shandi.

“Mmm…I could use a nap, and since I don’t have a clue what to do with this…” She held up the pole, indicating her ignorance in fishing.

“Don’t tell me you’ve never been fishing?” Ryley gasped, and clutched his hand over his heart. “I’ve been fishing since I was old enough to hold a pole. How can I possibly fall in love with a woman that can’t fish?”

She laughed at his dramatic antics, but a sliver of discomfort went through her mind. She really wished he wouldn’t throw that L word around.
