CHAPTER 24

Sorry, Babycakes

Lynn

I wake to the same guilt I fell asleep with. The one thing to comfort me is Trev’s strong arms wrapped around me as he sleeps. I look up into his face and I can’t help but wish it could always be this way.

My heart pangs as my father’s words come back to me. Pook was going to be engaged. Cliff was going to propose.

She would have made such a gorgeous bride. I know how much she loved Cliff. I wonder if she was ready to get married? She would have been such a good mother.

I’m surprised Daddy gave his blessing. Brooke spent nearly a year working on my daddy just to date Cliff. I believe he only gave in at first because she was away at school at the time.

Being that Cliff works the Monroe ranch, he couldn’t really run to see Brooke all the time. They spent most of their time together during breaks. Daddy means well, but he can be smothering at times.

Especially when it comes to me. I might be better off in New York. Now that Pook is gone, I know things are going to get more intense.

Then there’s my blunder from last night. Ugh, why is this my life? My sister and best friend is gone and she’s the only one who knew how to deal with my daddy, other than my mama—who still hasn’t mastered the task the way Pook had.

Trevor takes a sharp intake of air, breaking into my thoughts. He opens his eyes and reaches to run his fingertips over my cheek. I give him a weak smile.

“How are you feeling?” he murmurs, his deep voice sleep heavy.

I shrug my shoulders, not sure how I feel. The pain in my daddy’s voice was enough to cut. He sounds like a shell of his former self these days.

“I shouldn’t have lied. It was a knee-jerk reaction.”

“Give him some time to cool off. I’m sure you can smooth it out.”

“I hope you’re right. I feel terrible. Did you know Cliff was planning on proposing to Brooke?”

“Yeah, I did. He was going to fly in a week after us all. He planned to surprise her and propose here. He was off buying her ring that day.”

“She was on her way to meet up with him that night, right?”

“That’s what he says. He was going to pick her up, but you know how she was about that truck.”

“She wouldn’t let anyone else drive it. Even if I didn’t hate the thing, she wouldn’t have allowed me to take it home for her,” I sigh.

“And she called us stubborn,” he chuckles wistfully.

“We get it from our daddy.”

Trev runs a hand over my hair and kisses my forehead. “He’ll come around. I get it. I’ll be just as protective of our little girls.”

“But I’m not a little girl anymore and neither was Brooke.”

“In your daddy’s head, you’ll always be his little girl. He wants what’s best for you. Someone to treat you right and protect you.
