Renegade"Thanks for coming over and helping, Dad." Belle kisses me on the cheek a she grabs her purse. "He's asleep right now because he just took some pain medication, but he should be waking up soon. I really appreciate this so I can go with Mom," she tells me as she puts a jacket on, hooking the purse crossways over her body.Rambo comes to us, putting his paw up for her. She leans down, kissing him on the muzzle, before she stands up. "He might need to go out here in a few, but he'll let you know." She pulls her hair out from under the collar. "If you need anything, just give me a call.""I got this," I remind her that I'm the adult and she's the child. "I know, I just feel bad leaving him here, but this is tradition and Mom's birthday."Don't I know it? Since she's been old enough to enjoy it, Whitney's taken Stelle over me, and I can't even be mad about it. These two love their football and their time together. "He'll be fine, go or you're gonna be late."She hugs m

Ransom"Thanks for picking me up," I tell Cutter as I get into his truck weeks later. It's been a lot of the same old, same old between Stelle and I. She's attending school during the day, taking care of me at night, while I'm rehabbing my shoulder and preparing to go back on duty. I'm still not cleared to drive, so today Cutter's offered to pick me up and take me to what I hope is my last doctor's appointment."Not a problem, everyone else has had their turn. Now it's time for mine.""You know if I could drive myself, I would." I flick at his arm.He pulls from within my reach and then hands me a coffee. "This is for you, although if you're gonna be a dick, you're not getting it.""I'm always a dick to you, we're brothers," I joke with him. "And we've got a couple hours ride ahead of us, so we might as well get the picking on each other out of the way right now.""You know this has kind of always been a dream of mine. You always took care of me as a kid, this time I get to

Stella"Rambo, stop it!" I laugh as he grabs at his tug toy. I'm not trying to play with him, I'm trying to clean up the living room.Since I started school full-time things have been a little on the crazy side. Unofficially I've moved in with Ransom, and Kelsea's okay with that. We still see each other at work. She's spending more time doing things independently and I have a feeling it's driving Nick crazy, but he hasn't said anything to me yet. I'm waiting, I'm not sure how long I'll be waiting for, but I know at some point my brother's going to get his head out of his ass. Because Ransom's been hurt and hasn't really been able to clean much, and I've been doing homework more than I care to admit, this house has become a mess. Today I had two classes, no homework, and I wasn't scheduled for the clinic. Pretty quickly I decided I was going to clean this place up. Only Rambo is making it hard as hell."Dude." I give him a stern look. "I'm so glad you're feeling better and that

RansomMy truck is in the driveway as Cutter pulls in to drop me off. "Do you need help getting inside?" He gives me a smartass grin."Fuck no. See you later. Don't bother texting, don't come over. I'm busy, I got plans," I tell him as I hop out of his truck."Plans for work? Since you know, that's what you were cleared for," he teases me."Thanks for the ride." I slam the door harder than I need to. He's still talking, but I'm pretending like I can't hear him. Entering my house, I listen to see if I can tell where Stelle is. Rambo is laying on the couch, snoozing away, probably from when she took him to the dog park. As I step on a spot in the floor that creaks, he does raise his head, but I put my finger in front of my lips, shushing him. Walking back to the bedroom, I hear the shower shut off. "Whatever you do, Stelle, don't you dare put clothes on."She comes out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel. "You were cleared?" Her smile is huge, her eyes bright.

Renegade"I know the two of you are wondering why I've called you here today," I sigh as I look at both of my kids. "What's the deal, Dad?" Belle asks as she sits on the couch next to Nick, her legs tucked up underneath her. She looks like she doesn't have a care in the world. And right now, she shouldn't. Ransom is recovering, Rambo is fine, but I've got an issue I need to discuss with the both of them."This is serious," I start out. "I told your mom I was having this conversation with you both, and she left so that we could have it in private.""Now I'm starting to get nervous," Belle starts fidgeting with her hair, a nervous habit she's had since she was a kid."I'm just gonna come out and say it. I'm disappointed." I look at both of them. "I know one of you lied to me," I look at Belle, and like always, she looks guilty before I even start. She knows what I'm pissed about. "And I have a feeling the other one is too." I level my gaze on Nick."Dad, we never meant to hu

StellaAs I turn onto the road in front of The Café, my heart does a little jump when I see the Laurel Springs Police SUV that belongs to my boyfriend. It's parked near the front, Nick's patrol car sits next to it, and I see my Mom's SUV parked there too, as well as Holden's truck. I'm super excited to see my Ransom because I haven't seen him, except in passing, the last couple of days. Our schedules aren't jiving, now that I've started school and he's working more than ever. But tonight, tonight is special. Our families are getting together for dinner.Parking my car in the first available spot, I shut it off and then flip the visor up, checking my hair and makeup. It's been a long day at work, but I managed to freshen up my hair before I left, and now I'm doing the same with my makeup. Satisfied that I'm looking as good as I'm going to, I grab my purse and exit the car. I wish I'd had time to go home and change, but scrubs are going to have to do today.When I enter, I see t

StellaOne Year LaterBlue lights are flashing in my rearview and I have no idea what I've done wrong. Even though it's only six at night, I've just pulled a twelve-hour shift at the hospital, and I'm tired after staying up late last night studying. Only one more semester to go, thanks to doing summer school and testing out of some classes thanks to my medical assisting degree. But this semester is kicking my ass. I'm more tired than normal, and I'm taking things a bit too seriously. Which is why I feel tears well up in my eyes as I see the flashing lights of the Laurel Springs Police Department Charger.I have tears because I know that this isn't Ransom and I miss him so much. We've been ships passing in the night for the last two weeks, and all I want is a hug. His arms wrapped tightly around me, and him promising me that all this hard work will be worth it."Do you know how fast you were going back there?"Menace is leaning into the window I rolled down, but I don't rememb

VOLUME TWO: SUPPRESSIONKelseaThe last thing anyone wants on their wedding day is to puke in the bridal suite. I have it on great authority no one likes to puke, especially right before they put on their wedding dress. Checking out my best friend, Stella? Looks like she didn't get the memo."Do we need to get you back to the bathroom?" I whisper as I watch a hand go to her stomach and her other over her mouth. It's almost as if I can literally see her getting greener as the seconds tick by."Stella." Whitney's voice carries a tone of disapproval as she turns to face both me and her daughter. "Did you really think it was a good idea to have a wine night with Kels the actual night before your wedding?"If only Whitney Kepler knew what was actually happening at our wine night. We'd watched Steel Magnolias, Top Gun and Sweet Home Alabama while polishing off a container of cake frosting and giggling about the something blue surprise Stella has up her skirt for her groom.
