*****

We go to an old-fashioned ice cream parlor and the kids share a large malted frappe. When it arrives, the sheer size of it drowns out their complaints. The frappe is so thick they spend all of their time trying to draw it through the straw rather than arguing with each other.

Donovan spends his time at the window, gazing out into the street. I leave the twins to finish their shake because they are only a few feet away and join him. Donovan takes my hand when I stand beside him. “If they followed us here, there’s no sign of them.”

With relief, I take a deep breath. Thank goodness for small favors.

“These guys are getting more brazen.” Donovan’s face is clearly worried.

“We’re safe now. Thanks to you.” I glance back at the twins and they are happy, talking and together. That’s the best thing I can wish for right now. “If it wasn’t for you, they were going to snatch her today.”

Donovan’s eyes widen. “How do you know?”

I shake my head and my curls swirl. “Let’s just call it a hunch.”

“That’s a pretty specific hunch, Lar. I feel like there’s a whole section of this thing you’re not telling me.”

I lean in and kiss his cheek. “I know I’ve been crazy. Sometimes I’m distant. I’m always neurotic.” I bite my lip as I smile. “But I love you, Don. And I promise, soon it’s all going to be clear. I just need tonight to gather the last of what I need.”

“All right, Montgomery.” Donovan slings his arm around my shoulder and pulls me in. “For the record, I trust you. If I didn’t, I doubt we would’ve made it this far.”

It’s true. Boy, is it true. I rest my head on his shoulder and gaze outside. Part of me can’t believe I’m really here, that I’ve reset the clock two years and now have this second chance. But I have to do things differently. I need an ally and I need someone to help me find a way out.

I need to clue Donovan into everything. I know that, but I’m not ready. Not with the twins around.

“Are you sure we shouldn’t go to the cops?” Donovan asks.

“Not yet, but soon. There’s something I need to get tonight. After that, I should have enough information, but I can’t go to the cops. They’re in her pocket.”

“Her? You know who is sending those men? I thought we were working against a he?”

A he? Then I remember that Lara and Donovan thought the one who framed my dad was Jax. It feels like so long ago that I went through all of this; I’m frozen for a moment and I stutter.

Donovan steps close. “What aren’t you telling me?”

I glance back at the twins. “Not now. Tonight. Can you meet me?”

He takes my hand and kisses it. “Don’t you know by now, Montgomery, I’d do anything you asked?”
