CHAPTER SEVEN
TY GLANCED ACROSS at Lulu. She was merrily singing away along with a song about an elephant and trying to teach Kirri the lyrics. Quite unsuccessfully, if the number of corrections were anything to go by.
Lulu was twisted round in her seat so she could face Kirri, who had insisted on sitting in the back of the car when theyâd collected her this morning. âNo changes on my account,â sheâd quipped as sheâd jumped into the back.
She looked a bit tense and, if he wasnât mistaken, still quite tired. He would put money on the fact sheâd stayed late at the lab, despite his popping his head in about six oâclock last night and securing a promise from her that sheâd be leaving soon.
An increasingly familiar flare of protectiveness shot through him. Something was driving Kirriâs research beyond the obvious. Apart from her brother, she hadnât mentioned much about her personal life. The few times heâd tried to get her to open up sheâd deftly changed the topic. Today he had his secret weapons. His mother and sisters. They could draw blood from a stone.
Not that he was equating Kirri to anything even closely resembling a stone. Far from it. But it pained him to think there was something dark driving her to work the way she did. The type of work they did had to come from a place of joy or it could easily destroy a soul.
âHere we are.â Ty pulled his car into the drive of his parentsâ house, smiling when he saw Kirriâs eyes widen. His gut told him bringing her here was a good idea.
âThis is beautiful,â she whispered, opening the car door and slipping to the ground, her eyes still glued to his parentsâ colonial-style home.
Lulu, as ever, was already running up onto the porch and through the front door.
âIt looks great now,â Ty said, unable to keep the pride out of his voice. âBut it was definitely a challenge to grow up here.â
âWhat do you mean?â Kirri threw him a look as she waited for him to lock the car and head up the drive to the wide covered porch circling the house.
âWhen they bought it, it was about as close to a wreck as you can imagine.â
âSeriously? And you all moved in straight away?â
He laughed at the memory. âWe couldnât wait.â
âWhy?â
âBefore this we lived above Dadâs shop in a two-bedroom apartment.â
Kirriâs hands flew to her chest. âAll seven of you?â
âYes, maâam. My older sisters were in bunk beds, I was in a trundle bed, and Winny and Reba shared a crib. My parents soon decided giving everyone a bit more personal space was a good idea.â He smiled up at the house. âThey have never shied away from a challenge.â
Kirri looked from the house to him, then back at the house. âIâm going to take a wild guess and suggest that you inherited some of that gusto.â
Ty smiled. It was the type of compliment people usually reserved for his sisters. âWhat makes you say that?â
She laughed.
