Chapter Seven

Jackson closed the door of the Red Creek Motel and jingled his keys in his hand. The sun just peeked above the horizon and the smell of morning coffee coming from the main office made him think of home, and Rori.

What had she thought of his actions the day before? He’d been startled at lunch with Mina’s announcement that Rori was going to be teaching in KC, but he’d opened a whole new can of trouble when he went home and tried to talk to her about it.

He’d surprised himself with his feelings of uncertainty and unworthiness, and Rori had confirmed them with the way she’d accelerated their discussion…fight?...by accusing him of trying to control their lives.

When he’d left their apartment, he just wanted to give her time to make decisions. He hadn’t intended on leaving forever. He couldn’t go to Dusty’s house. The parents would know something was wrong. And he didn’t want to go to the house on the lake because it would leave a lingering memory once they moved in.

The motel. On the way there, his own mind had run the scene with Rori over and over until he just wanted to go back and beg her forgiveness. But that wouldn’t do either of them any good. The way he loved her, he’d agree to any demand she’d make just to have her in his life, and that wasn’t a solution.

He jumped in his truck and headed for the office. A few hours working on D. Walker Mineral business and taking his mind off the issue of Rori’s unhappiness would give him a fresh perspective, once he revisited it. No more running away, he needed to make a stand.

Right here in Red Creek.

A few minutes later, he walked into the conference room and his three brothers stopped talking and looked at him.

With a nod, Jackson walked to the coffee pot and poured a cup. They stayed silent. He turned and looked at each of them. Their faces had that fighting look, like they each wanted to take a turn at knocking some sense into him.

Jackson took a gulp of coffee. “What’s going on?

“The hotel?” Rogue crossed his arms. “What’s going on with you?”

He pulled out a chair and plopped down. “I don’t know. I overreacted I guess, but I needed space.”

Killian stood, taking his coffee cup with him. “We’ve all been there, especially with only days before the most important event of your life.”

“Feeling like you want to run and hide?” Dylan rocked his chair back.

“Something like that.” Did Jackson want to get deep into it with these men? They were his brothers, but they were also married to the women who were Rori’s closest friends.

Rogue groaned. “You want to get this fixed real quick, brother.”

“Yeah.” He took another good, hard slug of hot coffee. Maybe he could get some advice from three men whose marriages seemed stable. “It just started out as a discussion, then went the wrong way. Like when you’re on the back
