a very bad way and I am the only one that knows the truth."
"And how did you get to be that lucky guy?"
Conner looked out into the yard and let out a laugh before explaining. "I guess it started when I first moved there. She came over after having a fight with her husband. I happened to be really sick and she sat up with me until I pissed her off. We weren't exactly friends, but a while later, after a night out, I found her in a parking lot all upset. I took her somewhere to be safe and she told me enough for me to be concerned. After that she started confiding in me. I don't think it was because I was ever her first choice, it was just that I already knew."
Conner was concerned about someone other than himself…this was serious.
"I never pegged you as the kind of guy that was just friends with a woman."
He shook his head and laughed. "Neither did I, but even if I wanted somethin' else, it would never happen."
"So, this is the woman that helped with that Heather girl problem?" The drama in the last year between Ty and Miranda and their boys could have all been avoided if that woman from Ty's past wouldn't have set things up to ruin their marriage. Ty had never strayed from his wife and almost lost his family due to some jealous ex.
"Yeah, and that is a whole different story that we need a bottle of whiskey to talk about."
Savanna had already filled me in on what Conner actually did. I have to say, he is either the bravest or stupidest person I knew.
"They're never goin' to forgot what you've done for them." Conner had gone and seduced that woman to get the truth out of her, to save his sisters marriage. I don't know a lot of men that woul d sacrifice themselves like that, especially one that never seemed to be that happy about Ty and Miranda being together. I don't know what changed his mind, but he and Ty had mended fences and things were back to how they'd always been.
"I made a promise to my father that I would take care of my sister. I wanted to be mad at Ty, but I knew about his plan and that it was all for Miranda and I also saw his face that night. He didn't want anything to do with that stupid bitch. When he called me all messed up that night, I just knew somethin' wasn't right."
"Even if you didn't do that, I think they would have just worked through it. Those two can’t live without each other."
"I live with them. You don't have to tell me. I bought a recliner for out in the barn, so I could get away from them. You have no idea how loud they are sometimes."
We both started laughing.
When I walked back into the house, I had a new opinion of my hard ass cousin. It seemed that him moving in with Ty and Miranda had been the best decision. That man had gotten to a point in his life where he only cared about himself, but after seeing his sister struggle, he threw himself out there and opened his heart to protect his family. The thing with opening your heart is that it is usually very hard to close it back up. Conner wanted to feel love and whatever he did or didn't have with this woman, was definitely changing him.
He needed to be very careful.
Just like every holiday, we all ate until we couldn’t move and after half of us fell asleep in random places; we were all wide awake to play cards. Because we had so many people now, we had to play in the dining room, instead of the kitchen. One deck of cards to play Rummy with just wasn’t cutting it, so our new game was Pinnacle. We played teams and after finally learning all of the rules, started to really have a good time. My mother and Aunt Karen were the best at it, since they played together all the time.
I didn’t care who won the game to be perfectly honest. My whole family was in the house that I built with my father. I could only hope that he was somewhere looking down on us. I wanted him to know that we were okay and that I finally got that family he always wanted me to have. I knew he would have loved Savanna and every time I did something with
