“Don’t leave me,” Willow whispered between the gritted teeth of a feigned smile. “I don’t care what anyone says or does, please stay with me.”

“I was going to say the same thing to you,” Finn admitted. “Aren’t we a pair?”

Finn looked up at the huge antebellum mansion in front of them. It was massive with two-story columns and dark shutters that stood out against the stark white limestone. Coming down the long driveway lined with moss-covered live oak trees had been intimidating enough, but this? How could this possibly be his childhood home? It seemed impossible.

The doors flew open and Finn clutched Willow’s hand. A few women around their age came out first—a blonde, a brunette and a redhead—the redhead visibly pregnant. Some men followed behind them. One had to be his brother Tom based on the resemblance. The others must be his sisters’ husbands, because they were both big, dark, bearded and completely unlike the Steele men in every way. An older couple, presumably his parents, came out behind them, followed last by a tiny old woman who looked more like the Queen of England than old Elizabeth Windsor herself.

The crowd rushed forward at once. It was a cacophony of words and hugs and tears, most of which Finn could barely understand. He stood stiffly, accepting each embrace as everyone said their hellos, but not really reciprocating. The only one to keep their distance was the old woman still on the porch, leaning on her cane.

“You all are going to scare him to death. The boy doesn’t know you from Adam. Look at his bewildered face. Don’t smother him.”

Everyone took a step back and Finn made note of who really ran this place. He would guess it was Grandma.

“Come in,” she said, gesturing inside. “It’s hot as blue blazes out here.”

Still holding Willow’s hand, Finn walked toward the house with the others in their wake. Inside the mansion was equally imposing. A large, grand staircase greeted guests as they entered beneath a sparkling crystal chandelier.

It was all very nice. And about as unfamiliar as the Palace of Versailles. Finn swallowed his frustration as he crossed the foyer. He’d hoped that coming back here would jog his memory. The people he’d just met were supposedly the most important people in his life. His family. He was in the home where he’d grown up. And yet he might as well have been anywhere, meeting any new group of strangers.

At least he had Willow here with him. He looked at her and tried to smile reassuringly. She seemed to be just as nervous as he was about all of this. But she was here. His rock when he needed her the most. He’d never be able to properly thank her for her support. Not even with all the money he supposedly had in his accounts. But he’d have to find a way.

They followed the old woman as she clicked across the marble floors with her cane to a large family room.
