Moving Fast

“When were you going to tell us you were seeing someone?” Harris asked her when she walked into his house on Easter morning.

Kaelyn was cooking a big dinner for both sides of the family this afternoon, but Sarah wanted to show up earlier for a brunch with her parents and a little time with her niece.

“I didn’t know I had to announce it to anyone,” she said.

She turned when her parents came in right after her. She’d seen them turning down the street the same time as her. If she’d detoured to drive past Caden’s first she wasn’t telling anyone. It wasn’t really out of the way since it was the same development.

She’d seen the SUV in the driveway with Pennsylvania plates on it. Though the two of them hadn’t talked since she’d left his house on Friday morning, they had texted more than she thought they would. Mainly at night when she was in bed.

That worked for her. She knew he was entertaining his family he hadn’t seen much, but the fact he was reaching out to her when he was alone was good enough.

“Announce what?” her mother asked.

“Sarah’s boyfriend,” Kaelyn said, grinning. She figured if anyone would be in her corner about keeping things quiet it’d be her sister-in-law, but she found that might not be happening.

“You’ve got a boyfriend?” her mother asked, looking a little hurt. “You always tell me when you’re dating someone. Why didn’t you?”

“How do you guys even know?” she asked.

“Please,” Kaelyn said. “He lives in Paradise Place. I’ve seen your car there. I mentioned something to Harris. Then of course he had to drive by to check too.”

“Thanks,” she said to Kaelyn. “I’ll remember that in the future.”

Kaelyn laughed. “We are just looking out for you. I know the guy that bought Ryan’s house is from out of town.”

“You hated how your brothers watched over everything you did. I figured you’d have my back.”

Kaelyn’s brothers Evan and Christian hadn’t been thrilled when they found out Kaelyn was dating Harris. They thought for sure he was just out for fun and using their sister out of boredom. Sarah had been fast to get in Evan’s face and defend her brother when comments were made in front of her.

Thankfully it all worked out and everyone got along well now.

“I do have your back, but of course I find that you’re like the sister I never had and I want to watch out for you too. Now I know why my brothers did it. So tell us what is going on.”

There was no way out of this. Not with her parents and Harris staring at her waiting for information. “Where is Scarlet? I want to give her her Easter basket.”

“She’s napping and Nicks is upstairs with her.”

And Nicks made her think of Jet and the puppy that slept curled up against Caden on Thursday night, not letting her get close.

“Does he always stay by her?” she asked.

“You’re avoiding answering us,” her father said.

“Yes,” Harris said. “You know that.
