I head out the door needing to unleash. I have to find a better way of containing my anger. I shouldn’t have raised my voice to her; none of this is her fault. This all falls on Cora and whoever she pissed off enough to want her dead.

“Garrett!” Mitch calls across the yard at me, and he can probably tell by the way I’m pacing that I’m pissed off. He flicks his smoke at the ground before he starts walking towards me, and I try to calm myself enough to explain what’s happened.

“Someone’s been at the house.” I ball my fists and remind myself to breathe.

“What do you mean? Me, Wade and Otis have been here all night,” Mitch shakes his head like he thinks I’m making it up.

“I mean, someone was in my fucking house!” I snap at him, too, and when I take out my cigarettes, my hands shake from all the damage they want to do.

“They trashed Bree’s room, Pops’, too. They were looking for something.” I manage to get a spark out of my Zippo and take a sharp drag, hoping that the smoke filling my lungs is gonna take the edge off. I can’t go back inside, not while I’m this fucking mad.

“They take anything?” He scrubs his hand through his beard, the way he always does when he’s thinking something over, and I hope he’s thinking with some fucking logic. Cause I sure fucking ain’t!

“What if she’d have been here alone?” I ignore his question and focus on what matters, fighting hard to tamp down the fury inside me.

“Unlikely, you’ve barely left that girl’s side since she’s been back in town,” Mitch smirks, and I throw my fist at the barn door in frustration.

“But there will be times,” I point out, knowing that I can’t always be around to protect her. “It’s been quiet lately, but what about when it’s not?” I sit down on one of the crates, press the back of my head against the wood cladding and look up at the stars.

“You can’t keep her under 24-hour surveillance.” Mitch sounds a lot more serious as he takes a seat beside me. “She’s too strong-willed for it even if ya could.”

He’s got a point there, I feel like I’ve been suffocating her enough since she came back, but he doesn’t understand what these three years without her have been like. No one does because I’ve kept it to myself.

“I regretted letting her go the second she left, and I never thought she’d give me a second chance. I don’t know how to…” I struggle to get the words out because they sound so pathetic.

“Some men weren’t put on this earth to love, Garrett. They just haven’t got it in ‘em. I’ve met plenty of those men, and you ain’t one of ‘em.”

“And I guess you think you are, right?” I manage a snigger despite the fact my heart is pumping venom.

“Well, I’m fifty-one years old, and I’ve lived in that bunkhouse since I was fifteen.
