Since Ryder was the only one with pants and a shirt to put on, he went to the shops downstairs and bought everything he could think of that they might need. Most of the clothing included resort logos, which he didn’t think Sierra would be too fond of but he found amusing.

The weather in Pennsylvania was warm for this time of year, so he picked out tank tops, T-shirts, shorts, and sweat pants for later on when the sun went down. He added bathing suits, knowing Sierra was going to strangle him for his choice for her. He shrugged. Next time she could go shopping for them, he thought wryly. He even found resort-themed flip-flops so they didn’t have to wear their dress shoes. All in all, he was pretty impressed with himself.

While in the lobby, he looked into the resort’s offerings for things to do while they were in the Poconos. The hotel and its neighboring resort events were booked thanks to it being the end of May and the beginning of the late spring-early summer season. But there was a small bay trip that had been booked by a couple who had apparently had an argument and abruptly canceled their reservation.

Ryder was able to order a picnic basket filled with lunch and Prosecco, a golf cart that he could use to drive them to their destination, and thanks to the fact that the water rides were open and full, they might even find time and space to be alone.

He was walking back to the room when his cell rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and glanced at the screen, hitting answer.

“Sebastian.” He wasn’t shocked to hear from Sierra’s brother.

The man might be Ryder’s best friend, but his first concern was always going to be his sister. As it should be, Ryder thought. He had no doubt Sebastian was making the call because he was the closest to Ryder, but Ethan and Parker were probably right there, breathing down his neck, waiting for answers.

“Hey, man. Everything okay?” Sebastian asked.

“Everything’s fine. Sierra’s okay,” Ryder said, reassuring his friend. He stopped by a tree outside and spoke quietly and in private.

“Is she? Because she was supposed to be married and on her way to her honeymoon right now.”

He glanced up at the blue sky. “She left with me willingly. I didn’t kidnap her or anything. We’re… working through things.” Ryder blew out a breath, knowing he had to tread carefully.

His personal relationship and what he did with Sierra was none of her brothers’ business, even if her well-being was.

“Can I talk to her?” Sebastian asked.

“I’m not in the room right now, but I’ll let her know you called, and if she wants to get in touch, she will.”

A few beats passed before Sebastian spoke again. “You hurt her badly once. I know you had your reasons and I was torn by what you did, but I understood it. But if you aren’t in this for keeps, Ryder, bring her the hell home now.
