.” Charlie replayed that part of their conversation.Hell, he had been replaying the whole evening over and over again.It was part of the reason he had been up at dawn chopping firewood.“That’s what Olivia swears as well.But just because she used to be like that, doesn’t mean she is now.Look, she’s totally changed.She’s gone off the deep end.You saw her last night, she was vulnerable.You’re a cop.I want your honest assessment,” Ian demanded.Charlie carefully set down his coffee mug and squinted at Ian.“Because we’re friends, I’ll overlook the fact that you sounded like you were giving me orders, Ransom.I will reiterate what I already told you.The woman was not high, she was overtired.You have obviously crossed some serious lines to know that she was pulled over, her bike was impounded, and I walked her to her room.Or did she offer up that information?” He was pissed, and he damn well wanted Ian to know it.“This is Olivia.I am not going to allow some woman I don’t know to hurt Olivia.Do you understand me?”“It’s time for you to leave, Ian.I have work to do.” God, sometimes he wondered why he liked this socially backward asshole.But he did.He watched as Ian helplessly ran his fingers through his auburn hair.“What should I do?” And there it was.That was why he liked him.“I don’t know, but I think you should stop going around people’s back, and go talk to Olivia and Joshua.I also think you should meet Brianna before you judge her.”Ian shot out of his chair, paced over to the window, and looked out over the parking lot.“You’re right.I might have overreacted.”“Ya think?”“Olivia’s counting on Brianna moving here permanently.Brianna was six years younger than Olivia.She’s so protective of Brianna, and it’ll just break her heart if she can’t convince her to stay.I can’t stand the idea of Olivia being hurt.”“What do the others think? Sam and Chance? Butch and Betty?”“Sam and Chance are just as excited, and Josie can’t wait to meet her sister-in-law.But Butch and Betty aren’t talking.They’re not talking.That’s another thing that has me worried.” Charlie looked at Ian and wished he could offer him some sort of comfort.“All I can tell you, Ian, is that she seemed to have her head on straight.She didn’t strike me as flighty.But everything you’re telling me is describing someone who doesn’t want to put down roots, so I agree with you.Olivia is setting herself up for a fall.”Chapter 3Brianna wasn’t used to social situations where she was the center of attention.As a matter of fact, she wasn’t used to social situations at all.She had developed a very quiet life in Dallas, and even on her newfound adventure, it hadn’t included many people.It was more a discovery of places, and doing adventurous things like rock climbing, getting a tattoo, and buying and riding the Ducati, which she was now beginning to regret.She’d called Olivia that morning, but she was in the middle of a final fitting for her dress, which she wholeheartedly wanted Brianna to attend.Olivia must have heard her reticence, because she then suggested that one of their brothers pick her up and take her to their house where she could finally meet their wife, Josie.Brianna was delighted with that thought, because her brothers had married the same woman and now had a toddler named Lissa.So now Brianna was at Sam Booth and Chance Reynold’s house, sitting on the couch with her niece Lissa in her lap, which was perfect.The scary part was that Josie’s two younger twin sisters were seated on either side of her, bombarding her with questions.They were attending a University in Florida, both juniors.They were making her head hurt.She knew it was only going to get worse, because soon her foster parents would be here, along with Olivia and her fiancés.Sam and Chance also mentioned a couple of other firefighter friends showing up for the barbeque.“So Chance said you worked with the courts, assisting children,” Josie said as she handed a sippy cup to Lissa.“I’m involved with the CASA program in Dallas,” Brianna admitted.“What’s that?” one of the girls asked.Brianna was pretty sure it was Becca.“Becca, CASA stands for a Court Appointed Special Advocate,” Chance said as he sat down on the arm of the chair where Josie was.“When there is a child in trouble, and their parent isn’t capable of standing up for them, or maybe they are the person the child needs to be protected from, the child needs a defender.That’s where Brianna comes in.”“I don’t understand, isn’t that what Child Protective Services does?” Sarah, the other twin, asked.“CPS will have provided their findings to the judge,” Brianna answered [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
