Travis sat back, glanced over at me, then Reagan.“Someone’s makin’ an anonymous donation to the rebuilding of your bar.Don’t ask questions, just move forward as you were.”Travis jerked his chin toward Amy.“And any extra money, I suggest you donate to a college fund when these kids decide to have a baby.It doesn’t make up for … what happened, but it’s somethin’.”
I nodded.I got it.
I might be a redneck, but I damn sure wasn’t a dumbass.
“And tell Rhys I’m sorry I had to exclude him.I think he’ll understand.”
He would.Even I knew that much.
“Now, if you don’t mind,” Travis said as he got to his feet, “I’m gonna get outta your hair so you can have breakfast.”
As though she heard my suggestion, Donna appeared with four plates of food, setting them down before scuttling off to another table.
Travis reached down and stole a piece of bacon off my plate.
“Hey!Them’s fightin’ words, cuz.”
Travis laughed, slapping me on the shoulder.
Amy lifted her head, wiping her eyes and laughing when she noticed what had happened.
“So, we good here?”Travis asked after tucking the chair back at the vacant table.
I met Wolfe’s gaze and we both nodded.
There was no need for questions.
The answer said it all.
Rhys
I peered up from my computer at the knock on my office door.
Leaning back in my chair, I motioned Reagan to come inside.
“What’s up?”I asked, trying to hide my curiosity at seeing my sister in my office.I couldn’t even recall the last time she’d come to see me.
“I just wanted to drop by,” she said sweetly, easing into the chair across from me.“Wanted to see how you’re doin’.”
I chuckled.“You wanted to see howIwas doin’?”
“Yes,” she said haughtily.“Is that a crime?”
“Not the last time I checked, no.”
“Good.”
Her eyes instantly dropped to her lap and I knew she had something on her mind.She wouldn’t have come to see me otherwise.
“Spill it, Reagan.”
When she lifted her gaze, she was smiling.
I wasn’t sure when the last time was that I'd seen a genuine smile on her face.I liked it there.
“I wanted to let you know that me and Lynx are…”
I lifted an eyebrow.“You and Lynx arewhat?”
