HOURS LATER, Honey once again found herself seated in the kitchen, the center of attention in the middle of the night. All the men were fussing around her, fretful over a silly bruise that she felt stupid for having. If she hadn’t panicked, if she hadn’t run into the way of a fist, she wouldn’t have been hurt. And after seeing Morgan’s and Sawyer’s knuckles, her one small injury seemed paltry beyond compare.

She sighed. The men each jumped to her aid, taking that small sound as one of pain.

“Will you all stop hovering?” she groused. “You’re making me nervous.”

Gabe grinned, finally seeing the hilarity in the situation. “I kinda like doting on you, sweetie. You may as well get used to it.”

Honey didn’t dare look at Sawyer. She tried for a sunny smile that made her face feel ready to crack. “I don’t think that’ll be necessary. Thanks to you macho guys, my worries are over. There’s no reason for me to keep imposing, or to hang around and get used to your domineering personalities. The police told me I could leave, that when they need me, I’ll hear from them. And my sister was so anxious when I called her, I think I should be getting home.”

It was as if they’d all turned to statues. Honey managed to eke out one more smile, though it cost her. “Since I don’t have much to pack, I can be out of here in the morning. But in case I don’t catch any of you before you leave for work, I wanted you to know...” Her throat seemed to close up, and she struggled to hold back her tears. Casey stared at her, his jaw ticking, and she wanted to grab him up and claim him as her own. She swallowed and tried again. But this time her voice was so soft, it could barely be heard. “I wanted you all to know how special you are, and how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.”

Jordan and Morgan glared at Sawyer. Gabe got up to pace. Casey, still unflinching, said, “Don’t go.”

Honey stared down at her folded hands. “I have to, Case. It’s safe now, and my family needs me.”

Morgan made a rude sound. “Your sister, maybe. But your father? I can’t believe you’re so quick to forgive him.”

“I haven’t. But he is my father, and I almost lost him by marrying the wrong man. He was as shocked by it all as I was. He said his lawyers will take care of everything, but we still have a lot to talk about.”

“You could stay just a little longer,” Jordan suggested, and he, too, looked angry.

“I can’t keep hiding here, Jordan. It isn’t right.”

Morgan walked past Sawyer and deliberately shouldered him, nearly knocking him over. Sawyer cursed and turned to face his brother, but Gabe laughed, diffusing the moment. “Down, Sawyer. The fight is over.”

Sawyer stared at him, red-eyed and mean.

Honey didn’t quite know what to think of him. He’d fought so.
