Chapter 7

While driving Lanier home, Dallas kept his eyes on the road. She was still in a good mood, but he wasn’t. Seeing so much love pouring from the television screen in Houston’s home had brought back so many incredible memories. That Lanier had been denied the same kind of love bothered him. She had been treated like garbage by people she had trusted. What had happened to her might ruin her chances of ever finding real happiness. That was more painful than anything he could think of. If she couldn’t find happiness with herself, she’d never find it with him.

Lanier reached over and put her hand on Dallas’s thigh. “Are you tired of me?”

“No,” he readily responded. “What makes you think that?”

“I just wanted to know. Since you’re not, is it okay if I go to your place for a while? I’m not sleepy yet.”

A huge grin swept across Dallas’s lips. “I’d love to take you home with me. I’m surprised you asked. Don’t you want to be alone?”

“I don’t want to be without you. I was sulky a good bit of the evening, and I want to make it up to you.”

“Lanier, you don’t have to do any such thing. I know what you’re going through. After you told me your mother had dropped in on you, I understood your mood.”

“Okay, I won’t try to make up for anything. But I still want to go home with you.”

“I want that as much as you do. We’re on our way.” He made a quick U-turn to head back in the direction of his home.
