“See, that’s just it. I don’t think this was Tracey. I think this was all Pat. He and Corey showed up after she did, and Jeff filmed that, too. She seemed to be yelling at him for coming. I honestly think she didn’t know this was going to happen.”

“Forgive me if I don’t believe her.”

“I’m serious. You know I am no fan of hers, but she was defending Emma.”

“She was?”

“Yes.”

“But she left, right?”

“They’re all gone. We’re waiting for Emma and Grace to come out of the locker room. Jeff doesn’t want to leave yet. One of us might drive her car if she’s too upset.”

Brandon breathed a sigh of relief. Ofcoursehis boys were on the job and watching out for Emma and Grace. “Thank you. I can book a flight and—”

“No, please don’t. It’s okay. Call your attorney and let him know as soon as we get home we’ll upload everything to Dropbox for him.”

“Okay.” Brandon rubbed at his temple. “Are you sure she’s okay? Em?”

“I’ll know when I talk to her. She’s upset. I’m not sure there’s a name for the level of angry she is right now. Her and Grace both. I honestly thought Grace was going to hit Pat there for a moment.”

“OurGrace? Explodes in too much sunlight Grace?”

“Shegrowled, earlier, Bran. I swear she did. Multiple times. She might need a muzzle. Or a rabies shot, or something.”

Brandon chuckled. “She is pretty loyal to Em. God help the boy that crosses her and breaks Em’s heart. We might not get a chance at him if Grace gets to him first.”

“I’m not sure that you might be right about that.”
