The stage was set. The sun had come out. The land was dry. The roads were clear. All was back to normal.

Well, sort of.

To Genevieve Brandt, Brooke would be Brooke Johnson, the newly hired nanny. The very best Wyatt had ever found. The twins loved her. She had all the right credentials. Wyatt made her a promise to take care of any probing questions his mother might ask when she arrived.

Brooke wasn’t a liar by choice. In fact, she hated people who bent the truth to suit their needs. And wasn’t she sliding right into that persona now, pretending to be someone she wasn’t? In essence, she was also fibbing by omission to Wyatt, too.

By the end of the week, she promised herself, one way or another, Wyatt would know the truth about her pregnancy and all would be settled. A shiver ran through her. She was in deep now and she would have to wade through the days hoping to convince Genevieve that the babies were in good hands. Hoping that Wyatt would...what? Beg her to stay?

Her cell rang and she muttered a choice word as she glanced at the screen. Putting pep in her voice, she answered the call. “Hi, Dylan. How’s it going?”

“How’s it going? I’m sitting here in my trailer, trying to read lines, wondering why the hell my sister is spending the week with a total stranger. A man with two kids, no less.”

“Oh, I explained it all to Emma when I picked up some of my clothes yesterday. He’s a good guy really. You know him. He’s the consultant to the film. Wyatt Brandt. The storm struck while we were having dinner and I sorta got stuck here.”

“It’s not raining anymore. Aren’t you coming back to Zane’s place?”

“Well, as I told Emma, I’m staying here helping him with his twins this week. It’s a long story, but trust me, I’m fine.”

“Is this a paying job?” Dylan knew damn well it wasn’t.

“Hey, I’m a big girl, Dylan. I can take care of myself.”

“It’s not a job. Oh, right, because you have a job waiting for you back home in California. Are you forgetting that we’re leaving for home in less than two weeks? So what’s really going on, Brooke?”

“Nothing. God, Dylan. Please, back off. I...kn-know what I’m doing. I’m helping someone out.”

Her brother’s overprotective groan traveled through the receiver. “All right, I’ll back off. I’m only looking out for you, you know.”

She sank into the bed Henrietta had made sometime while Brooke was feeding Brianna and Brett their lunch. “I know. I’m... I’m going to be fine.” Even to her ears, she sounded uncertain.

“I’m trusting that you are. But I want to hear from you every day, Brooke.”

“I’ll call. I promise to check in with you and Emma.”

Dylan grunted his farewell, and after she hung up, she was torn between loving Dylan to death and wishing he wouldn’t treat her like a child. She was twenty-six years old, for heaven’s sake. And yes, granted, she’d had a tough year and he didn’t want to see her hurt again, but that might happen anyway.
