By 6:00 p.m., all of the guests had arrived. Tex got to see, with his own eyes, that those phone shots of Aubrey hadn’t done her justice. By 7:00, everyone had stuffed themselves with delicious southern barbeque, along with all the traditional fixings.

Serious vibes between Drake Leblanc, Mitch, and Meagan, caught Tex’s attention. He turned from his beautiful not-a-date to listen in on the conversation pertaining to the legal documentation their hostess had received. It hadn’t taken long for Drake to insist she not move a muscle without retaining an attorney, specifically him.

“I know this guy and his firm’s reputation, Meagan. They don’t mind playing dirty to get what they want. His only concern is winning the case for his clients in order to earn his high-end fee, no matter how dishonest or immoral their wishes are.”

Tex turned to the woman he’d had no trouble attaching himself to. Several minutes of conversation with Aubrey had revealed both intelligence and a keen sense of humor. The girl was a beautiful package of long-legged voluptuousness, with a little bit of plump in all the right places. Just what the doctor ordered to get over Nicole. He took a moment to question her quietly. “What’s your opinion of all this?”

Aubrey sipped from her wine glass and nodded. “I think Drake is absolutely correct. Meagan should be careful with this. I mean, think about it. They could have sent her a sincere correspondence from two people who wanted to get to know their grandson. Something that says they’re sorry for past judgments that lost them their only son. That isn’t a personal letter from concerned grandparents, it’s a legal threat. Thinly veiled for now, I think, but a threat, none the less.”

Tex turned back to his friends. “Meagan, let Drake represent you, hon. It’s better to be safe and prepared, than not and get shot in the back.”

Several different responses, all in agreement, came from the room’s occupants. Annie McAllister LeBlanc, Drake’s wife of nearly two years, placed her arm around Meagan’s shoulder. “Don’t you worry, Megs. My hubby is the best at what he does, and that will be to protect Buck. Please, I don’t think any of us in this room will be able to sleep if you don’t let him handle this.”

Meagan let her head fall back, issuing a long sigh. “Okay, even though I’m not convinced we need protecting from the Martins, though. I’ve known them all my life.”

“As you have your parents, but that didn’t stop the four of them from turning against you and Chris when you needed them most, did it?” Mitchell’s words, though Tex knew they hadn’t been intended to hurt her, seemed to hit home as she winced at their obvious truth.

“I know. I know you’re right, Mitch.” She looked around the room at her concerned guests. “You’re all right, and yes, Drake. I’d love it if you’d represent us. I still can’t help feeling sad about this. Why couldn’t they have picked up the phone and called? Or better yet, come to see us? I would have welcomed them.
