Chapter Eleven

The next morning, Dillon leaned against one of his parents’ house’s four columns. He and Dan were waiting for Craig, who had left them an urgent message on their answering machines to meet.

“What do you think is so urgent?” Dan asked.

“No idea, but my interview with Mary begins after breakfast. So whatever it is, he better get here quick and let us know.” He planned on taking her to the old Wilde Mine for a picnic. Afterward, back to his house for dinner. He hadn’t been able to get her out of his mind. There was no longer any doubt in him that she was the one.

Craig drove up in his truck. “Hey, guys.”

He stepped up to his brother. “How was the interview with Mary?”

“That’s what I want to talk about.” Craig’s entire demeanor was serious. “Mary hasn’t had an easy life. Her relationship with her parents isn’t close. She told me things about her childhood that broke my heart.”

Dan’s eyes narrowed. “Were they abusive?”

“Not physically, but definitely emotionally.” Craig shook his head. “But her fiancé did abuse her. She has bruises on her arms.”

“Fuck. I saw one of them that first day,” Dan said. “She obviously didn’t want to go into it at the time with me.”

Dillon curled his fingers into fists by his side. “Is the asshole still in the picture?”

“She’s here in Wilde because she left her old life behind. She’s looking to start fresh, but that doesn’t mean she’s not skittish. I’m not sure what to do, guys. She says she’s only staying for a few more days.”

“Mom told me that you brought her back late,” Dan said.

“When she told me about her parents, I was holding her, trying to comfort her. One thing led to another. And we made love. She is definitely the woman we should spend our lives with. I’ve never cared for anyone more in my life.”

Dillon had never heard Craig speak like this about anyone before. It was crystal clear that his brother was head over heels in love with Mary. Even with the little time he’d spent with her, he understood why. His own feelings for her were growing like wild flowers.

“She also told me she’s not ready to start dating,” Craig said.

“We can’t lose her, but how can we fix this?” Dan said, obviously falling for Mary as quickly as he and Craig. “Dillon, you always know how to make things work even when it looks impossible. What do you think we need to do?”

“We have got to keep her here longer. The only way we can do that is to drag out her interviews with the family.”

“That’s a great idea,” Dan said. “Craig, did she finish interviewing you?”

“She did, but I think I could come up with some new stuff that might pique her curiosity.” Craig grinned. “I bet she would love hearing about the time the three of us got trapped in the mine.”

“We were only kids,” Dan said. “But I bet you’re right. You could keep her talking on that story alone for at least a half a day.
