âThatâs horrible,â I whispered.
âYeah, horrible normally, more horrible because Brenda was a beauty, inside and out. Pure through and through. Pure goodness. Pure kindness. Pure love. The real deal. A good girl. Everyone loved her,â Stella added and Tateâs arm tightened around my shoulders when she said âa good girlâ.
âIâm sorry,â I said to Stella.
âLong time ago, darlinâ. Sucks to say but one thing good about it, she didnât live to see Neeta turn out the way she did and she didnât live a life like Kyle, puttinâ up with Neetaâs shit,â Stella remarked.
Before I could stop myself, I turned to Tate and started, âBut Wood said ââ
âWood blames Pop âcause thatâs Wood,â Tate interrupted me. âHeâs gotta have someone to blame.â
âA trait you two share,â Stella put in smoothly, Tateâs eyes cut to her and his mouth got tight.
My whole body got tight.
They held each otherâs eyes and I stood there, supremely uncomfortable while they did it. Something was happening there and I didnât get it.
Stella proved herself the Queen Biker Babe by not backing down from Tateâs dark look and instead saying, âYou two share a lot, Buck.â Her eyes slid to me and then back. âAnd not just taste in women.â
âThatâll do, Stell,â Tate warned in a low voice.
âYou let it go, he finally might be able to,â she went on.
âWhatâd I say?â Tate asked.
âHe took your old ladyâs back, Tate,â she reminded him of a fresh memory. âGoes without sayinâ that was big, seeinâ as he was thinkinâ Lauren would be on the back of his bike.â
âStella,â Tateâs tone had degenerated from scary to ominous.
In return, her voice got soft. âCut him some slack, Buck, all Iâm sayinâ.â
Tate didnât speak but a muscle in his jaw jumped.
Stella kept at him. âYou get Jonas, and youâll get Jonas, Tate, Neetaâll make it a pain in your ass but youâll get him, what with her history, her record and that ass in her house not to mention Pop and me at your back. Then when you get him, youâll need all the family you can find. Wood loves that kid. Heâd do anything for him. And youâd be a fool to harbor bad blood when you can let it go and build a family for Jonas.â
âYou done?â Tate asked.
âNever,â Stella answered.
âYou are for now,â Tate replied and then turned us away from her, tagging the cart with a hand and moving the cart and me unavoidably forward without saying good-bye.
I twisted my head to look over my shoulder at Stella.
âUm⦠see you later?â I called.
âYeah, darlinâ, you take care,â she called back.
âYou too,â I replied, smiled an embarrassed smile and looked forward again. âWhat was that all about?â I asked Tate under my breath.
âCurtains, Ace,â was Tateâs non-answer.
âTate, honey, I think you get Iâm not big on you keeping stuff from me,â I reminded him gently.
He stopped the cart and looked down at me.
Then he stated bluntly, âWood killed my Dad.â
I blinked.
Then I whispered, âSorry?â
âCar wreck. Wood was drivinâ.
