Chapter 13

Over the next couple of days, Liberty fell into an easy pattern with Texas.

They had breakfast in the morning together after he’d already been up running and done his lifting.

The band worked on laying down tracks with him in the afternoon, and she worked on her article.

Her ankle began to feel a lot better, and she began to be able to walk more fully again.

Dinners with Texas were a highlight. She attempted to cook once, but they ended up ordering pizza, and he gave her a nice amount of grief about it. So he cooked.

Check-ins with her mother were going well. She was happy Liberty was staying at the house and had such a great opportunity for the up close and personal article.

There were also multiple conversations with Hale about the upcoming engagement party.

Thursday, while Texas was spending a long time in the studio, she got into an argument with Hale over some couple who his parents wanted to invite. The couple were also friends with Liberty’s parents, but she didn’t like the guy. He’d gone out with her father on assignment.

“Hale, I don’t want to deal with that.”

“Liberty," he said very clearly, enunciating each syllable of her name. He’d always called her by her full name. "You’re not thinking about this clearly. They are a good contact for my firm.”

It was unreasonable to Hale that she would have emotional issues with the guy who made it home when her father didn’t. Rationally, she knew it wasn’t Steven Henning’s fault that he survived when her father died, but she couldn’t stand being around him. Why couldn’t Hale just go with her on this?

As they fought about it, the engagement party felt too close to her, which was funny because she was so far removed from it. Maybe it was something Texas had said to her about Hale being an idiot for letting her go to Nigeria.

How long had it been since she’d really shared much about her life with Hale? And she was going to marry him?

Hale asked, “Liberty, what’s bothering you?”

It took her by surprise that he even noticed. But it shouldn’t have. They’d been friends their whole lives.

“Nothing,” she said. What was wrong with her?

The last couple of days, she had been so submersed in Texas’ world. Coming back to hers felt weird.

“Liberty, look, we don’t have to keep the Hennings on the invitation list.”

“Really?” she asked hopefully.

“Really.” He was quiet for a beat then asked again, “What’s wrong?”

“I told you about that conference I’m going to when I’m done with this article, right?” Her palms went sweaty.

“Oh.” He sounded taken off guard. “Right. Yes, I think you did. You’ll be back for our engagement party though, right?”

“Hale … I think we need to push back the party.”

“No.” He said in a clipped voice. “Liberty, this has been the plan for us. And I know you’re worried it won’t be enough. But I love you. We have the same history, the same friends, we come from the same kind of people.
