A moment of hesitation runs through my mind as I turn into the neighborhood Coach Patrick lives in.

I've learned to be paranoid and suspicious of people. Not everyone is out to help but I remind myself that he's trying to help his daughter. He knows I want to protect her so we're fighting the same battle.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?

I park on the street outside his house and wait. My phone rings with a call from my mom but I ignore it. She can wait. She's probably drunk and wants me to pick up my little sister from the sitter. Irresponsible. That's my mom in a nutshell.

I watch Coach Patrick's rental pull into the driveway before I climb out of my car.

He seems as paranoid as I am.

No one likes Malakai Harris but people do what he says anyway as a means of survival. It's safer to do as he says than fight him.

We hurry into the isolation of his house and he shows me to his office.

Cases line the walls with books, different football trophies, and a few framed photographs—not too different from Kai's home office.

Why the fuck do they even have home offices? They're football coaches for fuck’s sake. It's not like they have a business that requires an office.

"Have you seen this before?" Coach hands me an eight by ten photograph. The color has faded with age but the picture is clear. It looks like a high school dance photograph featuring what has to be a young Kai with a pretty brunette on his arm, and Coach Patrick with a beautiful redhead who looks almost exactly like Aria.

"I think so—not sure though. Is this her mom?" I ask.

Sadness builds in his eyes as he nods. "Her name is Lillian James. She was my high school sweetheart and … Kai's sister. I thought Aria keeping her mother’s last name was a good way to honor her.”

What the fuck? Kai raped his own niece? What kind of sick fuck does that shit?

"Well, adoptive sister if you want to get technical. Her biological mother abandoned her outside the hospital Kai's mother was working at. She took care of Lillian in the hospital and adopted her."

I guess that makes it a little less disgusting but still the idea of Kai and Aria being related in any way makes me want to hurl.

"There were a bunch of rumors around this town before I dated Lillian that something was going on between her and Kai. He wouldn't ever say anything about the rumors but he would get really pissed off about it. Lillian never said anything either. I guess looking back now I was probably stepping on his toes when I asked her out and that's probably why he got involved with … her." He points to the brunette in the photograph.

"Who is she?"

"Kai's high school sweetheart, Teigan Harper.”

I gape at him from the name I recognize. “You mean … my Aunt Teigan?”

Coach frowns then slowly nods. “She was also Lillian's best friend.
