Tend To Stand Alone

H E R A

"The location of your father’s fortune."

"Dale—"

"No, listen. You can tell him the truth about the twins, but it will link you in more intimate ways. He’ll think he has rights to more information."

"Like…" I’m not catching on.

"Like your father’s fortune. He might use your kids against you to find out where all that money is. I’m just saying you can’t be too careful."

I never thought about that, but as I sit here and process what Dale just said, my instincts tell me I have nothing to worry about.

Thomas has been nothing but a gentleman to me this entire time. He’s treated the kids amazing, and while he is intense most of the time, I have never once had an ill feeling in my stomach.

It's not like I get around Dale often, and I blame being alone for five years with no friends. I distrust every person I meet, but Dale hasn’t done anything either. He’s been supportive, too. He’s helped me with the bakery and even helped me bake a last-minute batch of cookies. He’s been so nice.
