“Do you want another?” Molly held a pancake-laden spatula poised over Sam’s plate waiting for him to reply. He nodded and she slipped it onto the pile of three already stacked on his dish. It had been almost a week since they had arrived and tensions were strained between them. Sam had taken to sleeping in his son’s old room so that she and Kelsie could have the larger bed. The last few days, Sam had left for most of the day, returning in the evenings. He didn’t say where he was going, but she had an idea that he was taking road trips back to her town or that area. It would explain his fatigue when he returned every evening. With that many hours on the road, plus whatever he did in between, she didn’t know how he was managing to function.

“Thanks for making breakfast. I appreciate it.” Sam dug into the pile. Stubble dotted his jaw. More than a day’s growth so he was either too tired to shave or wanted to change his appearance. She was betting on the latter.

“I’d have made breakfast for you yesterday, but you were gone when I woke up.” She put the last three pancakes on her own plate and sat to eat. Kelsie had already eaten her breakfast and was playing on the porch. “I’m trying not to be nosy, but since I’ve had my life turned upside down, I decided I had a right to know what’s going on. Where do you go every day?”

“Out. Going town to town asking at biker bars about the Ravens.”

“Why? Aren’t we supposed to be hiding from them?”

“You, Kelsie and Johnny are hiding from them.” He took a drink of milk and shrugged. “I don’t want to sit around waiting for them to track your brother down, so I’ve taken the offensive.”

“What does that mean, exactly?”

“I don’t want to be ambushed by them, so want to know where they are. So far, I’ve come up empty. I’ve hit some of their old hangouts that I knew from last year, but it’s summertime and they’re probably making the bike rally rounds.”

“You know, you don’t have to rush home at night if your travels take you far away.”

“I don’t want to leave you and Kelsie alone at night. It’s a long shot that they’d come here, but just in case.”

“Johnny’s here, and I have my car most of the time since he’s out with Victoria.”

“I know you would rather that I was gone, but I don’t trust your brother to protect you and like you said, he’s usually not even here at night.” He spoke matter of fact, but it still stung when he said it—as if Molly hated him or something.

“That’s not it, Sam. It’s just that you look exhausted. I thought you could get a lot more rest if you stayed at a hotel instead of driving back here every night.” The pancake felt leaden in her stomach after the second bite. Not for the first time she wondered why she had to meet Sam under these circumstances.
