whim of everyone that we never saw what he was doing to you. He looked away. We molded
you into someone who thought the only way to keep a man s affection was to follow his orders
regardless how much pain you went through.
Gideon, I said, moving towards him.
He put his hand up and then pointed at the TV. Look at what you did to just avoid being
around us all! At sixteen you knew that you weren t in control of your own life. We did that to
you, Devan. We made you into his little princess. And we were so used to putting you through it
all that we were blinded to it when he took withholding affection to a whole new level--when he
started refusing to touch you but kept getting caught with other women.
I took a deep breath in and smiled. On that note, I d like to take a moment to point out
that I m standing in my own apartment. No one but me controls my actions now. Well, Brody
has a huge say, but that s it. I d also like to point out that you are only four years older than me.
You tried to change things while we were growing up, Gideon. You were just a child, too. I
knew marrying Drew wasn t what I wanted to do and he d never done anything but care for me
up until then. In fact, he was a wonderful husband for the majority of our marriage. You didn t
turn him into what he became. You didn t get him hooked on painkillers, alcohol and fast, easy,
women.
Jake tipped his head and cleared his throat. But we re the two who picked you up,
literally, while you were hightailing it away from the church all dressed in white, looking pale
and breaking out in hives, not wanting to get married. We escorted you to the devil s doorstep.
I put my hands up. I surrender. New topic please. This is my day dammit and I will not
allow anything to dampen it. If you all want to sit around and play poor Devan, get out. Do it
somewhere else. This is a non-pity zone boys. I have spent a year trying to come to terms with
everything, looking forward to this day and I will not have it spent dwelling on any of the
negative. I have a wonderful loving brother who obviously loved me enough to try to kill my
then husband. I glanced at him and smiled. I still think you d have looked so cute in a prison
uniform.
He laughed softly and shook his head. I d like to lie and say I wouldn t have really

gotten to that point but Jake s right. I d have killed him had he not pulled me off him.
Jake snorted. Umm, I had to pull you off him five times before I could get you calmed
down enough to snap out of it. Even then I thought you d go right through me to finish him off.
Vanessa laughed. I vote we call him Gideon the Dragon.
I laughed and smiled. See, I have a brother, excuse me, I looked at Jake, two brothers
who would do anything for me. Hell, Jake didn t even ask, he just told me Brody and I were
staying with him until we decided what we wanted to do with our lives. I glanced at Wynona
and Vanessa. I have two amazing best friends who spent, I can only guess, how long making
this for me and who flew in to see me whenever they could.
Turning, I stared at Kurt who was looking at me with so much concern on his face that it
warmed my heart. And I m fairly sure I ve found a new friend.
Or an old one you just don t rec& Jake covered Vanessa s mouth fast and smiled at
me. She pushed his hand off her mouth and pushed play on the DVD again. Okay, last one for
now.
The screen filled with an image of Brody. His emerald green eyes were wide with
excitement and his chin-length black hair hung just a little in his face. He was sitting in the
kitchen at my Uncle s restaurant on a stool. I couldn t help but smile as I watched him.
Hi, Mom. If you re watching this that means you re in New York and happy, not curled
up in a ball on your bed doing your best not to cry. He winked. I made a different one for that.
Aunt Vanessa promised to play the one that fit when the time came.
I let out a soft laugh. Always prepared.
Brody pushed his hair out of his face. Jake moved forward fast and hit pause. Turning, he
stared at Kurt and me. He looked back at the screen and then Gideon. I can t be the only one in
the room to notice this can I?
Since you re blocking the screen probably, Gideon bit out. Jake moved, leaving a clear
shot of Brody looking up through hooded lashes. His green eyes were years beyond him. A sly
grin spread over his squared face as he stared at the camera. I see Brody.
Yeah, and who else?
Wynona gasped and stared at me with wide eyes. Conference time, Devan. I need to
speak with you in the corner.
Wynona?
I really need to talk to you, DJ.
Vanessa made a squawking sound. Devan, did you have sex with Maestro and develop a
case of amnesia?
Kurt gripped my hand so tight it actually hurt. I tugged on it and he eased up a bit.
Devan& ?
My eyes widened as I stared at him. Don t start being weird, too. I just met you. I ve
known they weren t wrapped tight from the word go. I stared at Vanessa. No. I did not have
sex with him. Why in the hell would you ask me something like that?
What do you mean no? Kurt asked, sounding extremely put off.
I yanked my hand free of his and took a step back. Girls, your Jake is weirder than mine. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
