"Why did Mandy run outta here like her ass was on fire?" Liam asked Denise as he grabbed his leather cut. He'd been tucking Tatum in and had heard raised voices, but knew if anyone had the details, it would be Denise.She sighed. "Drew and Dalton. I'm not sure what all was said, but they were bragging about getting girls.""Were they braggin' about gettin' girls or bangin' girls?" He grinned and blew out a gust of air as she smacked him in the stomach."As long as I have no proof, my son is still my little boy," she told him, running a hand through her hair. "Anyway, whatever they said really upset Mandy. She threw some stuff in a bag and was gone.""These teenagers are gonna be the death of us," he breathed out, pulling her into his arms, circling her in his embrace.She melted there a few moments, letting the stress of the day go away. It was the best place she had ever been and the best place she ever could be. "Don't I know it? I don't understand what happened. I moved in

Meredith was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. After she'd said yes to Tyler about a mini-vacation for their family and he'd gotten it approved from Liam, she'd started doing things at CRISIS so she could take a few days off. They had decided they would leave after work on Thursday and head down to Gatlinburg that night. They'd have the whole day Friday, the whole day Saturday, and part of the day Sunday for making the trip back."Are you sure I'm not asking too much of you?" Meredith chewed on her bottom lip as she questioned Christine. There was no one she trusted more with this place than her friend. If Christine hadn't loved doing hair so much, she'd ask her to leave the Curly Q and come manage CRISIS, but Meredith knew how much she loved doing hair. It calmed her in a way nothing else could. "You aren't, I promise. For the most part, this place runs itself with the two workers you have on payroll and all the volunteers. If you're going to leave, now is the

Back in Bowling Green, Travis was cursing up a storm in his cave."What's wrong with you?" Christine asked as she came into the dimly lit room. It had been one of her favorite places since the two of them starting dating, but she hardly ever saw him this agitated."I think we've got a problem," he told her, talking around the lollipop he held between his teeth.She waited for him to elaborate, but he didn't. "It would be awesome if you could tell me what kind of problem you think we have. Maybe then I could help you through it.""I think Stephanie is bad fuckin' news, and when I say bad fuckin' news…I mean bad fuckin' news."Those words made Christine's stomach drop. "What do you mean?"He sighed. "Babe. I love you." Steele reached in, kissing her on the cheek. "I need you to leave me be while I try to work this out. I don't think she is any threat to you." He emphasized the word."But she could be a threat to Meredith?" she worked out in her head. "Is that what you're no

They were both moving decidedly slower than normal the next morning, but they exchanged secret smiles and glances with one another—something they hadn't been able to do in a while. "Did you sleep well?" Meredith asked him as she poured some cereal for Addie.Addie wasn't a morning person, so they always put in extra time for her to have time to wake up. Normally by the time she'd eaten her breakfast and gotten dressed and had her hair done, she was good to go. She wasn't one of those children who could hop out of bed and be in a great mood the rest of the day if they immediately left to run errands. "Better than I have in a long time." He grinned over his ever-present skull coffee mug at her.They were only in their second day of their vacation, but she was excited that they'd decided to come on it. She truly hadn't realized how stressed she was at home. There was no tension in her neck, no headache waiting to come on. This was exactly what she had needed. "Me too." She smile

First day of senior year and Mandy was ready for it to be over. "Are you two even gonna walk in with us?" she questioned Drew and Dalton. She and Charity had been trying to walk in for more than fifteen minutes. It was now fifteen minutes before the bell would ring signaling the pep rally to welcome them back to school."I ain't in a hurry," Drew told her. "We're seniors; we can do what we want."The two girls exchanged a look. That attitude was going to get them nowhere but in detention, and they both knew it. Charity grabbed her stuff out of the front of Drew's truck and glanced at Mandy. "I don't know about you, but I want to start this year off on a good foot. B's my homeroom teacher, and I don't know about any of you all, but I don't wanna be pissin' off Mrs. Stone. Let's go." She grabbed hold of Mandy's arm and dragged her toward one of the entrances."I don't know why they have to act like they're the hottest things at this school. I miss when they didn't think so highly o
