Chapters (25)
“I think it’s the perfect opportunity for you to show off your new wheels.”
“That’s what I said.” I zip my bag closed and turn to him. “Shall we go? I want to go over and help Maeve and Ma with dinner. I know the other girls are there, too, but it’s a lot of work. And, I’ll be honest, I just want to hang out with them.”
“At last, you tell me what you want. I’m ready. Let’s get out of this stinky house.”
I laugh and lead the way to the front, locking the door behind us. Cam stows my bag in my new car.
“Want me to follow you to your place so we can leave your car there and just take this one to Maeve’s?”
“Sounds like a plan.”
Chapter 15

“And that’s about it.” I push my hand through my hair and glance around at the guys, who have all assembled in Hunter’s gym, where I’ve just filled them all in on the past few days.
Of course, I left out the part about the best sex of my damn life, even though I’m headed toward forty, but Maggie’s older brothers, not to mention her father, don’t want to hear that part.
“You’ve been busy,” Hunter says. “Is your head still whirling?”
“Pretty much,” I confirm.
“That’s a lot of money,” Shawn adds. “And it pisses me right off that it took her two years to find it. That fucker.”
A fresh wave of guilt hits me because I knew about the account all along.
But I couldn’t tell her.
“Well, she has it now,” Kane says. “And wasted no time getting the things she needs, which is a good start.”
“She wouldn’t choose a fridge,” I inform them. “She insisted I do it. Has she always been this indecisive?”
“No,” Kane replies.
“Not until she married The Lemon,” Shawn adds. “After, whenever we asked for her opinion on something, she would say, ‘Whatever is easiest is fine.’”
I narrow my eyes as it all starts to make sense. Why didn’t I think of it before?
“So, she’s not good at asking for help or for things that she really wants. She’ll just go with the status quo, even if that means that she takes something she doesn’t like.”
“What a prick,” Hunter mutters and shakes his head. “So, in other words, he just always got his way, and Maggie put up with it.”
“Yeah, so now she’s used to that,” Keegan says. “She just goes with the flow, and anyone who knew her as a kid knows that’s not her.”
