Chapter 34

• Kelsey stood watch at the door, gnawing at her lip, as Devin and Rayne got out of the car. Gage barely had time to greet them before Cooper and the other four men in her world came out of the trees from the shop. She knew Gage was aware she was standing there in the shadows, worrying.
• Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and went down the porch steps. The smile on Gage’s face encouraged her to keep going, even though her knees were shaking. Everyone paused and turned to watch. She glanced from Gage to Devin a few times. Devin’s wife was so petite, even by Kelsey’s standards, and she was absolutely gorgeous with miles of blonde hair, a pale complexion, and bright blue eyes. Her smile was warm and accepting, putting Kelsey at ease, a bit.
• Gage stepped beside her, close enough she could feel his body heat, without touching her. Somehow his nearness made her feel better.
