Chapter Six

Brenton pulled up to his friend Chris’ house, feeling as though the weight of the world was on his shoulders. Normally, he would have called Amber; normally he would have had plans with her. Over the past several months, any time that he had free from his job as well as from his daughter went to the woman he loved first, and then the other people in his life. But ever since they had fought at a charity event a week ago where Amber had been a guest as well as a performer, things had been chilly between them. Brenton knew that Amber was in the studio; she was spending more and more time there, and a sneaking, creeping suggestion in the back of his mind pointed out that David Underhill, the producer for her new album in progress, was not a bad-looking man.

Brenton knew Amber well enough to know that she would never cheat on him; but he couldn’t blame her if she considered him a rebound after Kobe. He remembered just how hurt she had been by the man who had cheated on her—she would never do that to him, but Brenton would not be surprised if she broke up with him to be with the brilliant producer who was helping her to reinvigorate her career.

Brenton shook the thought and shut off the ignition, taking a deep breath and opening the door of his car. He stepped onto the gravel driveway and looked around him. Chris’ house was always so comfortable—and his friend, who had been in his unit, had left the military a few years ahead of him with the skills and experience needed to live comfortably as a civilian with his wife. At first, Brenton had had more than a little envy; Chris had the happy family life that Brent had wanted from the time his parents had broken up: a wife that loved him, in-laws who thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and three well-behaved, healthy kids that he got to spend plenty of time with. But his friendship had outlasted the envy, and Brenton had come to depend on his former brother-in-arms for advice and guidance in more than just adapting to the post-military world.

“Uncle Brent is here!” Lucy, the eldest of Chris’ children, called into the house from the porch where she was playing with paints. A year and a half older than his own daughter, Lucy was an engaging, bright, beautiful child: she had Chris’ tow-head blonde hair, her mother’s blue eyes, and a combination of their personalities. Brent picked her up happily and gave her a big hug, depositing her back in her spot on the floor of the porch before heading to the door.

Chris was a few steps away, crossing the living room with two beers in hand—Lone Stars, of course. It was something they had shared a taste for when they were far from home, a taste of Texas. “You should’ve brought Felicity with you,”
