taking advantage of the situation.
Listen, I understand how you feel. But you have to realize at some point that Bree is an adult
and she wasn t hurt when she made the decision to sleep with me. She s carrying my child. That
means something to me. I plan on marrying her.
Besides, her memory will come back, and if she s at home when it happens, there s going to
be hell to pay. She ll accuse us of taking advantage of the situation, then we could lose her
permanently. I think she needs to stay with Chad for now. He ll keep her safe, Austin jumped in.
Trenton reluctantly nodded his head but it was obvious he wasn t happy about the situation.
Now that we got that settled, we should stop fighting before Bree turns the corner and
wonders what it s all about. It wouldn t do her recovery any good to know she s got a stalker,
George reminded them.
Within a few minutes, Bree joined them in the waiting area. She had a tentative smile on her
face as she glanced toward the door, obviously wanting to exit the hospital before the doctor changed
his mind and told her she couldn t leave.
Let s get out of here, shall we? Chad said, placing his arm around her back. She looked a
bit lost, but was more than happy to follow him from the sterile room.
We haven t discussed where I m going. I don t even know where I live, Bree said, starting
to feel her first stirrings of panic. It was disorienting to not know anything about her life.
We re going home, Chad simply answered.
Do we live together?
Yes, he answered somewhat truthfully. He had been staying with her so it wasn t exactly a
lie. He had a feeling it was going to come back and bite him later, but he d deal with that then.
Okay, she said, seeming unsure, but putting her trust in him, anyway.
We ll meet you at the ranch, George said before giving Bree a quick hug.
Don t you think you all should wait a day or two before overwhelming her? Chad asked.
His question was ignored as everyone headed for their vehicles. They already had a welcome home
party planned, and whether Bree was ready or not, she was about to be inundated with family.
Chad helped Bree into his truck, then went around and climbed into the driver s seat. He
turned the radio to a country station and quietly started navigating the vehicle, letting her get used to
the idea of finally being free from what she considered a prison.
How far away is the house?
It s about a half hour from the hospital.
Do I like living in the country?
I just bought this property. Before you went into the hospital, we were staying in a small
house on the outskirts of town. I think you ll really enjoy the ranch, though. We have horses, cows,
chickens, goats, and a few other creatures running around, he answered, his voice filled with
excitement.
Bree felt a stirring of familiarity at his words. Maybe she d spent time on a ranch before.
She started to feel excitement as they left the city and glided past fields of hay, gently blowing in the
breeze.
It didn t seem like much time passed when Chad turned off the main road and started
traveling down a long gravel driveway. Her head turned from side to side as she tried to take in
everything around her. She looked out at the fruit trees and could practically feel the burst of flavor on
her tongue. She knew she d spent time climbing apple trees and plucking fruit from their branches.
She just didn t know when she d done it.
They turned a bend in the road and her eyes widened at the number of cars lined up in front
of a huge three story home. She heard Chad curse and turned in his direction.
I told your family to take it easy and let you get adjusted first, but they don t seem to listen.
It was only supposed to be immediate family members but it looks like they brought the entire gang. If
you want me to turn around and take you to a hotel for the night, I will, he offered when he saw her
frightened expression.
No, I ll be okay. It s obvious my family loves me, which is great. It s better to be
overwhelmed, than have nobody at all, she answered. Chad would see if she still felt that way in a
few hours.
You re home. I m so glad you re okay, Jennifer said as she rushed up and threw her arms
around Bree as soon as she stepped from the vehicle.
Aunt Bree, I missed you, Molly cried out as she ran up to them and joined in on the hub. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
