Mollie

I smile when I see Hank’s truck crest the hill on its way down the road. “Alright Sam, there’s my ride. See you later.”

“Just remember what I said, Mol. Keep me out of it.”

I nod and raise the first three fingers on my right hand. “Scout’s honor. I won’t say one word about what happened between the two of you.”

Sam scoffs. “Remind me again, when were you secretly in the Scouts?”

“Hey, as far as I’m concerned, everyone in this house is an honorary member. We’ve consumed more than enough cookies for it.”

Sam’s frown lifts, not enough to be mistaken for a smile, but enough to let me know that while we may not see eye to eye on this plan, it’s not going to come between us. “See you tonight,” I say, before pulling the door closed behind me.

I meet Hank at the edge of the driveway, before he has the chance to pull in and park. I open the door, toss up my purse, and climb in. “Let’s go. Quick, before she gets up the nerve to chase us down and try to change our minds.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Hank hits the throttle and propels the truck forward, swinging a left at the next street and heading back toward the main road. “So then, things went well between you two?”

I half-smile. “Thankfully, she fell asleep without realizing I never came home. And I slipped in just as she was waking up, so there was no drama per se. But to say the least, she is not a fan this idea.”

Hank wrinkles his nose when I tell him about Sam’s disapproval. “Did she have a better suggestion as to what you should do?”

“No. It’s that family history thing I told you about. Talking to the police was never an option for us growing up. And definitely not when it came to Sam’s family.”

Hank takes his eyes off the road to look over. “How so? I thought you two were practically sisters?”

“Yeah, ever since she and Clint came to stay with Mom and me. But she was already ten by that point. Before that? Those first ten years living with my uncle Roger…let’s just say I don’t recall her ever sharing a happy memory from that time.”

Hank returns his focus to the road, shaking his head as he mumbles to himself, “…can’t even begin to imagine.” He clears his throat to change the subject. “What about you? Are you having second thoughts?”

“Not for a minute. Well, okay I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little worried what Clint will do if he finds out, but I’m tired of being afraid of him. And anyway, he’s like a dog with a bone. Once he’s focused on a thing, he’s not gonna drop it until he’s gotten his way. And right now, that thing is you and me being together.” I reach across the seat and gently rub Hank’s knee. “I’m not all that interested in the idea of him interfering with us.”

Hank puts his hand on mine, proudly nodding in agreement.
