Emma had arrived at Gunnar’s, unpacked her suitcase into a drawer Gunnar had given her to use, put it back into her trunk and started working on supper. Molly came over before the guys got home and was making a potato salad. Each sipped on a wine cooler while chatting. Emma asked Molly questions about her childhood and more about the lies that almost broke her and Ryder up. Molly explained the whole sordid mess, her stepfather’s abuse, the rape, the guilt, all of it. Even though they had talked about it before, Emma wanted to know her better.

“How’s your job going, Em?”

“Oh, it’s not the best job in the world. I’m rethinking this one.”

“Sorry to hear that. Something better will come along.”

“Yeah.”

Continuing to baste the ribs in the marinade, Molly watched Emma’s face.

“It’ll be okay, Em, really.”

Emma looked into Molly’s bright blue eyes, identical to Gunnar’s. Her mouth turned down into a frown.

“Can I ask you something personal, Molly?”

Molly giggled. “We’ve been talking about my crazy ass past, it can’t get much more personal than that.”

Emma nodded. “Gunnar’s been getting phone calls. I don’t know who they’re from, and he gets agitated when he receives them. A few days ago he got one and refused to answer it. Do you know what’s going on with him?”

Molly stopped stirring the mayo into her salad and looked into Emma’s eyes.

“Have you asked him?”

“Of course. His behavior is so weird afterwards. It’s been bothering me and I know it’s bothering him. But he won’t say who’s calling.”

Molly released the wooden spoon she was holding and wiped her hands on a towel lying on the counter. She glanced outside as they heard the rumble of motorcycles rolling down the street.

Giving Emma a half smile she said, “You need to insist he tell you. Joci said Keith, our biological father, used to get mysterious calls at all times of the day and night, and then he would disappear for a while.”

Emma’s frown deepened as she stared out the kitchen window to the backyard. Watching two birds hop and play along the top of the wooden fence separating this house from the backyard neighbor’s. The motorcycles were pulling into the garage, making goose flesh form on her arms and legs. The thunder those bikes created in the smaller confines of the garage was exciting.

The door sprung open and Gunnar was the first to enter the kitchen. His tall massive frame instantly made the kitchen seem smaller. When Ryder and JT entered, it positively dwarfed the room, making it feel like a phone booth. Gunnar looked at Emma’s face and cocked his head to the side. He flicked a glance at Molly and saw the frown on her pretty face.

“Did we interrupt something?” His low voice vibrated through Emma, making the gooseflesh spring up again.

Emma shook her head and plastered a stiff smile on her face. Staring into the blue depths of his eyes, taking a moment to breathe in the fresh scent of spring air, and shower soap, she rested her hands on his hips, looping her thumbs through his belt loops.
