Chapter 12

He left long before Danni would be awake. He left long before she would be aware that he was watching her sleep. He let her long, black curls run between his fingers. He left, wishing he could give her more and knowing it was impossible. He wasn’t good for Danni. He knew that. He brought her nothing but trouble no matter how he felt about her. Matt would tell him that too.

He walked, and he walked as far away from Danni as he could get. Walking cleared his head but not about her. He knew what he wanted but also what he could never have with Danni because his pride was a terrible bitch that kept getting in the way. He was nothing and last night never should have happened, but he would hold onto the memories of her because it would never happen again.

She told him he could always get his license again, but he enjoyed being free not confined in a vehicle. A truck slowed beside him, and he glanced to his left. Jackson Hand let the window down and he turned his head back towards the road that he traveled.

“Want a ride?”

“I’m fine walking,” Walker responded.

“Get in,” Jackson said more forcefully. He was a man used to getting his way and he wasn’t going away.

Walker gritted his teeth and opened the door then he climbed into the truck. “What do you want Jackson?”

Jackson didn’t say anything at first. He took off at a slow pace. It wasn’t far into town so whatever he had to say to Walker he had better make it quick. He was meeting Matt for breakfast after his early morning chores. Then he was going over to Rachel Hatfield’s to see how his mother was doing. She had been there for weeks and he hadn’t felt the intense need to check up on her so much as Simon had kept him informed about his mother.

“You know that you can’t give her what she needs,” Jackson informed him.

Walker shot him a look but didn’t respond. Jackson Hand knew nothing about Danni Rose and who she was now. The kind of woman she had become since he left her. The fierceness that she developed over the years. She was loyal to a fault. She had stuck by him even through his years in prison. He had all the letters that Danni had written him through the five years of his prison sentence. He knew her most intimate thoughts from those letters. He knew Danni.

“I can,” he added.

“You think she wants to go to Louisiana with you?” Walker finally spoke up. “I assume she would have to go with you and leave her family behind.”

Jackson flinched at Walker’s words and he knew that was a sticking point in Jackson’s plans. Danni wouldn’t want to leave Sherwood or her family behind.

“I’ll convince Danni how good we are together and how good we can have it. I have an apartment right now, but we can get a home.
