“Cedar will convey your automobile right here, and you’ll depart when she returns. For now, we’ll head in and get some meals into you. You want one thing.”

We entered his home, and I used to be greeted by a heat and comforting scent of baked bread.

“That smells wonderful.”

“It does. I really like my bread maker.” Landon walked into the kitchen.

“Don’t inform Sylvia. She’s a die-hard baker and could be crushed to be taught a machine made your bread.”

“We’re not that shut. I believe I’m secure.” He winked. “Please make your self at dwelling whereas I have a tendency to a couple issues over right here.”

I curled onto his sofa and began shaking.

Landon came to visit with a tray of sliced bread, a plate of butter, and two mugs of tea. He wrapped a blanket over me. “What would you want first?”

“A slice of bread please.”

He buttered it and handed it to me. The primary chew was wonderful, and the bread practically melted in my mouth.

“I’ve a couple of issues I have to clear up with you.” The sofa moved as he sat close to my toes.

I swallowed and stared whereas he buttered his personal slice and took a chew.

“My doorbell rings to my cellphone.” He took one other chew. “And I noticed the entire dialog. It’s not recorded, it’s stay.”

I tucked into the quilt, permitting the burden to wrap round me and conceal any disgrace.

“Possibly it’s unfair of me to ask you proper now, however I have to know. Did you imply all the things in your apology?”

“Sure.” I pushed up into extra of an upright place and mentioned with confidence. “Each phrase.” Shifting ahead, I set the remainder of my bread down. “At first, sure, I used to be solely fascinated by you to get to know Cedar, however after the scary assed boat experience–”

“It wasn’t that unhealthy, was it?”

“In hindsight, it was fairly cool, and I’d in all probability do it once more.” I let a weak smile float to my lips. “However one thing occurred on that boat experience. It was slightly one thing, however it modified all the things, I simply didn’t understand it on the time. By time we obtained to the bonfire, I used to be in full denial mode, and I do know that now. I’d hesitated in saying something to Cedar, however my mouth obtained the higher of me, and off I went. I by no means meant to harm anyone. Not you. Not her. Nobody.”

He wolfed up the remainder of his slice and chased it down with a sip of tea.

“I do know I screwed up, and for the remainder of my life I’ll surprise what may’ve been had I been trustworthy up entrance.”

Landon leaned again in his spot and draped his arms throughout the again of the sofa.

“I do know the age distinction is a matter.”

“Not as a lot as you’d suppose.”

“I’ve gentle years of development to catch as much as you.”

He rubbed my arm. “In some ways, you’re extra mature than I’ll ever be, and in different methods, I’m. It’s all about steadiness, and I believe that’ll work to our benefit.”

I snorted, doubting I used to be the extra mature one, and reached for my tea.

He cleared his throat. “I’m sorry for leaving you on their lonesome at Lighthouse Park, and for saying you’re not a part of the household. I used to be indignant, and also you had been proper, I do are inclined to overreact. Lucy mentioned it was our downfall.”

Lucy.I needed solutions to that.

“Inform me about her. How does she match into this.” I waved a finger between us.

He sighed, a defensive tone on the tip of his tongue. “Are you going to get all judgemental about it?”
