Dom knocked once, then opened the door and strode in as if he had done it a hundred times before. Keeland walked in behind him.The inside was just as quaint as the outside. Soft, overstuffed furnishings in neutral colors and lots of wood. Keeland liked it. He was pretty sure he’d feel really comfortable here if he weren’t so uncomfortable about meeting Dom’s family.
“Gabe,” Dom called out.
A man appeared in an archway off to the left. Keeland could instantly see the family resemblance in their vivid blue eyes and surmised that this was Dom’s brother.
“You bellowed?” the man inquired.
“We have trouble,” Dom said.
“When don’t we have trouble?” the man said right back. It didn’t appear to be a question.
“This is Keeland.”
“TheKeeland?” Gabriel asked.
Dom’s brows lowered over his eyes. “Chay already called you?”
Gabriel snickered. “The second you were out the door.”
Keeland frowned as he glanced between the two men. What was going on here?
Dom set Henrietta on the floor, then pulled something out of his pocket. As he handed it to his brother, Keeland realized what it was. “You took the business card out of my garbage can?”
He wasn’t sure how he felt about that.
“I needed to show it to Gabriel,” Dom insisted.
Keeland narrowed his eyes. “Why?”
“Look, give me a few minutes to get Gabriel started on this”—Dom held up the business card—“and then I’ll explain everything to you. Okay?”
“Fine, but I want a full explanation or I’m done.” He’d walk right out the front door.
Dom grimaced but nodded. “I’ll explain everything. I promise.”
Keeland didn’t understand the dark look Gabriel shot his brother, but he was pretty sure Gabriel didn’t like the idea of Dom explaining anything. That only ramped up Keeland’s curiosity.
He stood there and watched as Dom explained about the business card and the two men who had come into the clinic asking questions. He didn’t understand what the big deal was. The guys had been weird, but no weirder than Dom freaking out over it.
Gabriel whispered something low enough that Keeland couldn’t make it out, and then he rolled his eyes and walked away. Keeland turned his attention back to Dom.
“I’m waiting.”
