It was like watching two lions battling for territory. Daddy and Law are not fond of each other, and when I asked Law to leave and come back for breakfast around seven, my dad preened like a peacock. Proud that he was getting his way.

Law was pissed. He didn’t want to leave, and as I hear the doorbell ring right as the clock turns to seven, I’m not sure he left at all.

In my rush to grab my jacket from the back of my desk chair, I run into the doorframe and nearly trip over my feet as I slam against the opposite wall.

“Nell!” My dad calls up as I hear two sets of rushing feet up the stairs.

“I’m fine,” I tell them both. Law pushes his way past Daddy and runs his hands along my body. “I’m fine, Law,” I repeat.

“What happened?” he asks as he turns me around to inspect my backside.

“Just tripped over my feet.” Rotating my shoulder, I know there’s going to be a bruise. “Hurt my shoulder on the jamb, though.”

Dad shakes his head, laughing, and walks away. Law scowls as he lifts my shirt sleeve up. “It’s already bruising.” I look down to see the colors starting to change.

“I bruise easy.” I shrug him off. His concern doesn’t dissipate, though. Law wraps his arm around my waist and guides me downstairs until we’re in the kitchen where the breakfast I spent the past hour making is on the table waiting to be eaten.

Dad puts the coffee pot in front of himself as he sits, while Law holds my chair out for me and takes the seat next to me, dragging his own chair closer to mine. I try to hide my delighted smile, but I fail.

“How can you say soulmate when you barely know her? Neither of you is grown enough to even know what love is.” Dad crosses his arms in triumph like he’s won an argument nobody else was privy to.

“Daddy,” I scold him. “You promised.” I made him swear he’d give Law a chance before he started in on him.

“No. He’s sneaking in and out of my house in the middle of the night. I deserve to know what his intentions are here.” I can see his anger growing by the minute. He’s been up all night stewing about this.

“Barely know her.” Law’s words are quiet but filled with so much emotion. “I know she loves you so much that it terrifies her every time you leave that you won’t come back. That’s why she takes such good care of an empty home and makes sure you have everything you could need on the road.

“I know that she has so much strength but guards her heart. I know that Nell needs someone to love and take care of her when nobody else can. I knew that the moment I set sights on her, she was mine. Nothing and nobody will stop me from keeping her to myself for the rest of my life.
