Chapter 12

“I’ll be bringing a few boats out to Ohio next week while you’re there. Maybe we can grab some dinner.” Brady watched Kenley’s expression for some clue of what was going on. Zane had been acting weird all week. All he’d said when Brady teased him about the boat show trip was that it was cut short because Sidney had the baby. But something was up. Brady could tell.

“Maybe.”

“Are you afraid Zane will have a problem with us having dinner together?”

Her cheeks turned a pretty pink and she looked away with a shrug.

And there it was. Zane and Kenley had had sex.

He nearly fell off the desk in shock. Zane had claimed her after Brady pretty much forced him into it. But he didn’t think the guy would really make a move. Good for him.

Except they weren’t acting very happy about it. Something must have gone wrong.

Before he had the chance to ask a bunch of nosy questions, his phone rang. He recognized the number and ducked out of the office to take the call.

“Hello?”

“Is this Brady Martin?”

“Yes. Is Hunter okay?” He didn’t have the patience for a get-to-know-you if something was wrong with his little brother.

“He’s fine. The doctor says he may have a mildly sprained ankle. He fell out of a tree.”

“What was he doing in a tree?”

“He found a nest on the ground and wanted to put it back.”

Brady pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. He paid these people a shit-ton of money to watch his brother and keep him safe. He should get a refund.

“It’s protocol to contact you if there’s an incident.”

“You mean anytime you people aren’t paying attention to your patients?” He knew it probably wasn’t this woman’s fault. She was most likely the person who got stuck making the phone call. But it pissed him off that he couldn’t take better care of his brother.

“There are notes in his chart that you do not want him sedated or overmedicated. Would it be okay to give him something for the pain?”

“Something mild. I swear, if he can’t say his name when I get there, I’m going to own that place.”

“I’ll tell him you’re on your way,” she said, ignoring his threat. Probably for the best.

“I’ll be there in twenty minutes. You might want to wait about eighteen minutes before you tell him I’m coming. He likes to count down the minutes.”

“I’ll meet you when you arrive.”

After she hung up, Brady realized he hadn’t caught her name.

He pulled in at Elmhurst Adult Care Center twenty-three minutes later. Inside he found Hunter chatting to the two women at the desk.

“Are you sure he said he was coming? He should have been here. It’s not Saturday. Are you sure he’s coming?” Hunter’s anxiety twisted Brady’s stomach.

“Here I am.” It never got old, the way Hunter’s face lit up when Brady walked in the door.

“I wasn’t sure you were really coming. You were three minutes late.”

“Traffic.”

“Is it Thursday?” Some might think it
