A frown sliced into my brow, and I angled my head toward him as I quietly muttered to Piper, “Give me a second.”
I turned and followed him out. I had to shout at his back as he rushed down the sidewalk. “What’s up with you, man?”
Not slowing, he gave a harsh shake of his head. “Nothin’.”
I kept tracking him. “Don’t give me that shit. I’ve known you for a long fuckin’ time, and something is up.”
He stumbled to a stop. Turmoil rolled off his giant frame, before he turned around.
Had never seen his expression look so grim. “Found a trespasser on my property.”
My frown deepened. I knew he loved his privacy, but this reaction seemed extreme considering he owned forty acres, and it wasn’t uncommon for a hiker to stumble their way onto his land.
He paused then roughed both hands over his face before he dropped them like a rock. “It’s Daisy.”
Daisy.
His childhood best friend.
The girl at the center of his ruin.
The very thing that had destroyed him.
He blinked, and he barely choked out, “She’s in trouble, and she needs me to marry her to keep her kids safe. What the fuck am I going to do?”
