Chapter 5

Shane had to be out of his mind.

He switched off his bike, still straddling the warm machine as he gazed down the drive at the neat, small house before him.

What the hell was he doing here?

He had no plan of action – no inclination of where to start – and God knew his father hadn’t helped. It was a struggle just to get the old man to talk to him, let alone gleaning any information about what he’d missed over the years.

And yet…his father was the first person he went to.

The day after Alex visited him, Shane headed towards the outskirts of Miami – and the repair shop his father had owned since he was small enough to remember anything. Of course, his wife had never approved. It was one of the many things that led to their inevitable divorce; but Shane supposed that made things easier for him. Had he shown up at his mother’s house, he had no doubt the woman would have thrown him out. She made quite clear that he was no son of hers when he was arrested at age nineteen, and he doubted she’d changed her mind since then.

His father, on the other hand…Thomas Wilder had at least written to tell Shane that his brother was dead. It wasn’t exactly a gesture of the greatest warmth, but it was something. The only connection Shane had.

His old man hadn’t exactly welcomed him with open arms. It was clear to Shane that his father had abandoned any and all notions of family when Tommy died. He was an angry, stubborn old man whose first words to his only living son were to demand what the hell he was doing in his shop.

The following days hadn’t gone much smoother. Shane had to prove his usefulness around the groupings of crippled cars and vehicles on the lot before his father would even speak to him, and even then, Thomas had only rained him with judgements on his character. How he couldn’t just ‘show up’ and make things better. Shane’s counter had been that the old man was getting too old to continue running the shop by himself and that he needed to simply accept his son’s help and shut the fuck up.

“Tommy would never speak to me that way!”

Thomas’ gruff answer earned only a grunt from Shane, who’d been working on a nineteen seventy four Chevy at the time.

“I’m not Tommy.” He repeated the answer he’d given his father as he looked over his dead brother’s yard, with its carefully tended flower beds and pristine green lawn.

Of course he wasn’t. All this – it was Tommy’s dream. The picket fences, puppies and backyard family barbecues in the summer time. Tommy always had his life so perfectly together. First he was going to get a football scholarship to a prestigious university, then he was going to major in culinary arts and open his restaurant. He was going to marry Holly and they were going to have two perfect children that would grow up in the kitchen.
