CHAPTER SIX

Parker didn’t know what to expect when she arrived at the ranch. She’d managed to get a reprieve from her tongue-lashing yesterday, but she knew she wouldn’t be so lucky today. After dodging Sam’s calls in the morning, she finally answered and accepted the request that she come by the house after her shift.

Riley had a pretty light schedule today. He’d gone to the stadium and returned without a fuss, despite the press trying to question him as they entered the stadium. He was now pretty agreeable about keeping a low profile, maybe too agreeable. Finally, he informed her that he wanted to host a dinner party in a couple of days. She thought he was nuts. Next week they would be going full throttle with Super Bowl activities and practice, not to mention coordinating his movements. He was adamant about wanting as much normalcy as possible.

She didn’t see what the big deal was about rescheduling a dinner party until she saw the guest list. It wasn’t his typical party crew. He’d invited Ross McKinney and his wife, as well as a few more seasoned team members. He was building bridges with his teammates, she felt bad about depriving him of that.

Meanwhile, she’d had another session with Dr. Fitzgerald in the afternoon, even though she’d almost canceled it twice after all the recent excitement. This time it was Carmichael who’d come to take over for her. Riley didn’t look too happy that he’d come to relieve her.

She’d had another nightmare last night, but this time Riley was in it. She attributed him being in her dream to the incident at the radio station, but it still bothered her that she couldn’t get a break from him even in her dreams. It started out innocent enough. They were dancing together in the Bright Star, of all places, and seemed to be having a good time. They were laughing and talking, but she couldn’t understand what he was saying. She kept asking him to repeat himself, but still, she couldn’t comprehend his words. He pointed to the door, and a masked man entered brandishing a gun. She went for hers but panicked when she realized she wasn’t wearing it. The dream ended with her throwing herself in front of Riley, shielding him.

Parked pulled into the driveway and cut the engine, then took a moment to push all those dark thoughts and worries away. She loved visiting Sam, J.J. and the kids, so she had to focus on that. There was always something interesting going on at the house. They had two handsome boys, and J.J. was always trying to talk Sam into having a third child. They both had high-profile, demanding jobs, but it was clear that family came first.

Still, she dreaded what her sister was going to say to her. It was just like when they were kids. Sam was always lecturing her about something or other, and it continued into adulthood. But she did have some good news. Regency’s
