TWELVE

He settled beside her on the couch and swiped to answer the call. “Hey, Geoff.”

This must be Wyatt’s cousin that he’d told her about. The FBI agent. The frown on the man’s face was the first thing to register. His features bore a similarity to Wyatt, though Geoff was considerably more clean-cut. His gaze flickered to the side, her side, and he cracked a smile. “Nina Holmes?”

She nodded. “Hi.”

Wyatt introduced her to his cousin, then said, “What’s up?”

The frown came back. Whatever it was, Nina didn’t think it was good. But then nothing had been good so far through this whole thing. Perhaps God would grant them something positive, finally, so that they might be able to stay strong through to the end. They needed an extra measure of grace in this. Nina had seen far too much of Mr. Thomas at work to believe he wasn’t going to go down without a serious fight—whether he intended to allow himself to be caught or not.

Give us strength.

She’d asked Wyatt what he thought about the faith Sienna and Parker had while they’d been driving. It had been a good conversation, where he’d told her he could see how it benefited their relationship to be on the same team—to have a mutual faith. But that didn’t mean he’d experienced belief for himself. She wanted it for him, it was true. But there was no way Wyatt, being the man that he was, would ever believe because she pushed him. He was the kind of man who would have to wrestle within himself and come to a place of faith on his own.

Wyatt glanced at her with a question in his eyes, but she shook her head.

“I found something, if you guys are done making moony faces at each other. At least long enough to hear what I have to say.”

Wyatt shot his cousin a look that told Nina exactly what he thought. “Go ahead.”

Nina didn’t react. He didn’t need to know she hadn’t expected his reaction to be so vehement. Wyatt apparently wasn’t a fan—at all—of his cousin’s commenting on how they were with each other. If they got into a relationship, was he going to hold back when other people could see? Why did it matter what people thought? It would only be a relationship between the two of them.

It was possible that years of solitude and secrets had affected her. Whereas Wyatt was someone who was more comfortable surrounded by other people. It was a big difference in their personalities, and likely something they were going to have to work to get over.

Nina realized she was making a lot of assumptions about where this was going. The reality of the situation was, Wyatt had become a big deal to her over the last few days. More than anyone else—aside from Sienna—he had stood with her, willing to fight on her side, taking only her word that it was right.

Now that she had experienced it, Nina had no intention of giving it up.
