Forbidden Ties; stuck between two brothers Chapter 48
TARA’S POVJason opened his mouth to respond, but before he could get a word out, Betty was already upon us like a perfumed hurricane."Jason Finch! I cannot believe you're sitting here and didn't even think to say hello!" She draped herself over his shoulder, her fingers trailing across his arm in obvious affection. "It's been ages since I've seen you around town. When did you get back?"Jason's discomfort was palpable as he gently tried to extract himself from her grip. "Betty, hi. I'm actually in the middle of a conversation right now."But I was barely listening. The name kept echoing in my head, bouncing around like a pinball. Finch. Finch. Finch."Your last name is Finch?" I asked, cutting through whatever Betty was saying.Jason laughed but it was a nervous sound. "Yeah. Jason Finch. I thought you knew?"My heart was pounding now, panic rising in my chest. "Like the Finch?"Betty turned to look at me properly for the first time, one perfectly sculpted eyebrow arched. "Honey, w

TARA’S POVI was standing in front of Suzie's diner, staring at the welcome board without really seeing it. My stomach was a tight knot of anxiety and something else I couldn't quite name.I responded to Jason's text against my better judgment, and every instinct that told me this conversation was a mistake. But here I was anyway, waiting.The bell above the door chimed as I entered, and Suzie looked up from behind the counter with her usual warm smile. Before I could say anything, she nodded toward a booth in the back corner where Jason sat, his focus was on his phone and I was glad for the distraction. “Thank you.” I said to her and she nodded in response, returning her attention to the customer she was handling. I made my way over, sliding into the seat across from him and deliberately not meeting his eyes. The overhead light cast harsh shadows across the table between us."You look beautiful," he said immediately, sliding his phone into his pocket and leaning back against th

Tara’s POVThe world narrowed down to those electric blue eyes. That was the only way to describe them up close, in full daylight, they were almost unreal, framed by dark lashes that had absolutely no right to exist on someone who was also that tall and that broad-shouldered."Excuse me." Someone snapped behind us. We scrambled apart like teenagers caught doing something wrong. A middle-aged man pushed his cart between us with pointed impatience, and Jeremiah and I both reached for words at the same time."I didn't mean to…""Sorry, I wasn't…"We both stopped. He recovered first, holding out the item he grabbed from the shelf. I had been stretching myself half to death for canned tomatoes.I caught the amusement pulling at the corner of his mouth. "Going to war with the shelf over canned tomatoes?"The laugh escaped before I could stop it, breaking the tension. "They were on sale and I have my priorities.""Clearly." He handed them over, and our fingers brushed during the transfer

Jeremiah’s POVI left Nana's room quietly, pulling the door closed behind me. She fought sleep like she always did; wanting to talk and hold my hand for just a little longer. I never minded. Those moments with her felt like borrowed time, precious in a way that made my chest ache.Aunt Rhoda was in the living room, her reading glasses perched on the end of her nose, while a book was open in her lap."Is she asleep?" she asked, looking up."Finally." I dropped onto the couch across from her, scrubbing a hand over my face. "She fought it though."Rhoda smiled and closed the book, settling to face me properly. "She always does. You know, she woul'd be so happy to have both her boys home, Jerry."I groaned at the nickname. "Don't.""Both of you, under this roof, even just for a little while." She ignored my protest entirely. "It would do her so much good. It would do you good."I knew that. And to be honest, I would have bought the idea but this house held too many painful memories for m

Once we were inside my apartment, I clicked the door shut and started pacing the length of my living room, my heels clicking against the hardwood with each angry step."Someone's worked up," Jason said with that teasing lilt he probably thought was charming."Not now." I whirled on him, my finger jabbing the air between us. "You don't get to ditch me last night and then show up here with flowers like some romantic hero without even telling me you were coming.”I stormed forward, raising a finger at his face. “You especially don't get to charm my friends and make me look like the unreasonable one."He stepped closer, reaching for my waist. "Tara, sweetheart, I told you something came up at work. It was emergency.” His lips curled into a small smile. “I came here tonight to make it up to you and show you I'm sorry."I pulled away from his touch. "There's always something with you, Jason. Always an emergency, and a reason why I'm not the priority."His expression shifted, a flash of irri

The next morning, I felt like a live wire. Every sound made me jump and somehow, I felt he knew what I had done."Morning, Tara!" one of the crew called out as I clocked in.I nearly dropped my coffee. "Morning!" I squeaked back, my voice was too high.He looked at me strangely but did not say anything. I kept my eyes on the trailer office, watching for any indication that Jeremiah had arrived. My stomach twisted every time the door opened, but it was never him.I found myself peeking into his office for the third time in as many minutes when Daniel's voice came from directly behind me."Looking for someone?"I jumped so violently I actually yelped, spinning around to face him with one hand pressed to my racing heart."Daniel! Don't sneak up on people like that!"He laughed, completely unrepentant. "Sorry, sorry." Then he frowned, cocking his head to the side. "Seriously though, what's wrong? You've been jumpy all morning."I stared at him, my mind scrambling. What could I possibly
