“SO, HOW ARE THINGS between you and Jaxon?” Anna asks, while browsing the bra and panties section in the cute little lingerie shop we’re in.

“They’re good.” I pick up a black body suit that reveals way more than it hides. The sides are pretty much nonexistent. The only thing connecting the top and the bottom is a scrap of silk material that runs from the bust down to the thong. The scrap of material gets a little bigger the closer it gets to the bottom. I turn the body suit around and there’s nothing there except the thong and a string that wraps around your neck.

I shake my head, because there’s no way I would be caught dead in something like that. I don’t see how anyone could wear something so uncomfortable looking.

“What about this one?” Anna holds up a black lace nightie that has tiny rhinestones all over it. On the bust between the cups is a pink bow. The panties that are attached to it also have rhinestones. It’s actually really cute. Not something I would be brave enough to wear, but I bet it would look good on Anna.

“I really like that one. You should get it. Nick will definitely thank you for it.”

She eyes the slip of material for another minute and then settles it over her arm. “Hmm… maybe.”

“Do you know how long Nick will be gone this time?” I pick up another number and immediately put it back down, blushing as I do so.

“A week, maybe two.” I see a frown line appear on her brow. It must be terrible to watch the one you love leave time after time. I’ll have to make sure she has plenty to do while he’s gone. Anything to distract her.

“So, I noticed that you and my brother are spending more and more time together. Y’all seem to be getting close.” I know she’s trying to change the subject. I let it go because I don’t want to dampen our outing with sad thoughts.

“We are actually, but I don’t know if I can let him get too close. I’ve got too much baggage, and I don’t want to drag him down.” Even though it’s getting easier to talk about things, I still never reveal too much.

She looks at me with sympathy in her eyes. “It’s okay to let him in, Bailey. I may not know the details, but I know you’ve had a rough life. Let him, and us, try and help you. Believe it or not, Jaxon’s life hasn’t been a walk in the park either.”

I frown. It’s getting harder and harder to resist telling Jaxon about my problems, to resist letting him help me. Right as I decide to tell him, I remind myself that there’s nothing he can do and all that’ll happen is him getting hurt.

“You don’t understand, Anna. There’s nothing he can do. There’s nothing anyone can do. He’ll only end up getting hurt.”

“Has Jaxon told you about Kaylee yet?” she asks me.

I’ve
