Chapter 19

Darren

We were on our way back to my place after telling the girls and my parents good night. Dean left long ago, I assume to find his next conquest. I wasn’t sure he would ever find the true meaning of finding that one special person. To him being tied to one woman forever only limited his options.

He was a fool.

I looked over at Greer, unable to contain my smile. She looked gorgeous, yet her quietness since we left made a little concerned. She continued to look out the passenger window at the passing cars and scenery, as if lost in thought. I could only imagine the things that were rolling around in her mind after leaving the nuthouse.

Not that I blamed her. Most of the time, my own brain felt scrambled after a visit with my mother. The woman could be exhausting at times.

“So did they scare you off?” I asked, suddenly feeling nervous that she might say yes.

She turned to face me with a smile stretched across her lips, surprising me.

“They’re great.” She laughed as she placed her hand on my thigh. I swear I felt her touch in every single nerve in my body, like a jolt of excitement.

“You mother is hilarious and reminds me so much of my gran. Your dad is quiet, but I think that’s because Fiona does most of his talking for him. And he’s completely okay with that, which only makes me like him more. He adores your mother. It’s so cute.”

I slowed to a stop at the light and placed my hand over hers as relief washed over me.

“You didn’t really punch your brother, did you?” She looked concerned, but I grinned wide, remembering the look on the asshole’s face when my fist was flying at him.

“Hell yes,” I said with a chuckle, “and I’d do it again too.”

“Darren,” she gasped.

“What? The dick had it coming. He was testing me, it’s how he is.” She looked torn, and I needed her to understand this was common for me and my brother. He and I almost always had some type of brotherly conflict we quickly pushed aside after one or both of us reached our breaking point. It just so happened I reached it first and his face paid for it this time.

“He now knows to keep his eyes and hands off you,” I said, squeezing her hand. “That was nothing, babe, honestly. Don’t worry about it.”

She looked as if she wanted to say more, but chose to remain quiet instead.

The rest of the ride to my house was silent except for the soft sounds of the radio. I kept my hand firmly over hers the entire time. When we got back, I hit the garage door opener above the visor and looked at her. Still nothing, as she continued to look out the passenger-side window.

“Greer.” When her eyes were locked on mine, I lifted my hand from hers and touched her cheek. Her eyes closed as she leaned in to my touch.
