Chapter 10

Family

“What was that?” asked Seanna staring at Leal.

“Didn’t we ever mention that Leal met Trisha when he was working as Daffyd’s body guard?” laughed Bryce.

“Um…no,” she said amazed.

“And he was a marine before that,” Bryce said slapping Leal on the back as the hero caught up with them.

“Man, I hate fights,” said Bryce. “They don’t solve anything.”

“I never start them, but I am willing to stop them,” chuckled Leal as he crooked his arm around Bryce’s neck.

“What were you doing there and where did those other guys come from?” asked Seanna still trying to figure it all out.

“Bryce told Trisha and I what happened and asked for some backup,” shrugged Leal.

“Family sticks together,” Bryce explained with a shrug when she looked up at him in appreciation.

“Bryce…your jaw is turning purple,” said Seanna wrinkling her eyes.

“Let’s get some ice on that before breakfast,” Leal said.

“What are you going to tell everyone when those two don’t show up,” Bryce asked Seanna.

“The truth,” she said. “Remember what Sally said about family. ‘Home is where you can act the worst and still be loved the most.’ I was stupid…but you all will still love me.”

“Speaking of Grandma, I better go let her and Trisha know that it’s all settled. They’re praying at Grandma’s. Seanna you make sure Bryce gets an ice pack on his face.” He went on ahead of them to clue the two prayer warriors in.

“You don’t believe all that crap he said back there, do you?”Bryce asked Seanna.

“Most of it, well…some of it…maybe,” she said her voice catching.

“Don’t listen to that guy, Sea. You are so much better than them, too good for a guy like that. Promise me that you won’t let anyone one else dictate how you are supposed to feel about yourself,” said Bryce as he stopped walking. Seanna stood looking at the ground, so Bryce gently lifted her head by her chin and looked into her eyes. “Promise?”

Seanna looked into those eyes and wondered how she ever thought that Kevin had beautiful eyes. Bryce’s brown eyes were full of love and kindness. Something she had never seen in Kevin’s. While Bryce waited for her answer, something warm crept into her broken heart and threatened to bring tears to her eyes again.

Lowering her eyes, she said, “I’ll really try.”

When Bryce pulled her into an embrace she held on to his waist like she was clutching a life preserver. Bryce, too, felt something well up inside of him. He had a strong desire to comfort and protect Seanna in a way that was new to him. Before either one could even begin to consider the new emotions they were experiencing, Bryce pulled away. What was I thinking, she’s vulnerable right now and the way to protect her isn’t to cross that brother-sister line. Seanna felt embarrassed for clinging to him and bewildered by her new feelings toward Bryce.

“Sorry…I think we better get that ice,” she said turning away and heading towards the dining area.
