Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Night Terror

I was tempted to linger and make them both uncomfortable enough maybe I'd get out of them what they were actually up to, but I had to get back to work. I did hug my dad on the way out, though part of me grumbled internally about how it seemed like my own father was trying to poach my fiancé. Not sharing him, Dad. Just forget about that right here and now.

Still, as I hurried back to Petunia's I couldn't help but feel grateful the pair of them had become so close. It could have gone the other way, couldn't it? The idea that the men I loved might have decided they didn't like each other sat uncomfortably with me. Would Dad's disapproval of Crew have influenced my love for the sheriff? I didn't need to find out, fortunately. Knowing they got along so well, especially after everything that had happened the last three years, endeared me to the both of them. The bratskis.
