СКАЧАТЬ I’m pregnant, and it freaked him out. We never spoke about starting a family, and I think because of how he grew up...with your father,’ she said to Piper, ‘I think he’s scared to be one. Or he doesn’t know what kind of father he’ll be. I don’t know. I... I...’

      She started crying in earnest now, and Caleb set aside his shock and admonishments—hadn’t he had the sex talk with all his siblings; what didn’t they understand about possible pregnancy and STDs?—and drew her into a hug. Her body shook in his arms. His heart shook along with it. And he got more and more upset. More determined that he should have protected her from a man who could be so careless with her heart. Guiltier that he hadn’t acted like their father would have.

      ‘Em,’ Caleb said softly, running a hand over her hair. ‘It’s going to be okay.’

      She said something, but it was muffled since she was crying into his chest. He looked at Piper, who was staring at them both a little helplessly. He knew it was irrational, but he was suddenly angry with her, too.

      She should have warned Emma her brother would be so reckless. She should have warned him at the very least. He could have warned Emma. Banned her from seeing Liam. Anything to keep this moment from happening.

      Then she met his eyes and his heart flipped at the pain he saw there. At the extent of that helplessness. Something about it made him want to reach out and take her into his arms, too. Involuntarily, his muscles spasmed. Emma drew back and looked at them both. Her make-up was still flawless. He was glad that ridiculously priced make-up artist they’d hired was worth the money.

      ‘You have to find him,’ she said, blinking up at him. ‘Please. He’s scared, and I’m worried he’ll do something dangerous.’ She looked at Piper. ‘You know why he did this. He needs you to bring him back.’

      ‘He... I...’ Piper stammered. She gave a quick shake of her head. ‘No, Emma. He doesn’t need me.’

      ‘He might,’ Emma said softly. ‘He definitely needs me. He just doesn’t know it yet.’

      Caleb admired his sister’s quiet resolve. He didn’t appreciate that it was days before her wedding, and it came courtesy of a runaway groom.

      ‘Emma—’

      ‘Please,’ his sister interrupted, aiming the full force of her puppy dog eyes at Piper. He silently wished Piper luck. He hadn’t been able to resist that look since...ever. ‘Please bring him back.’

      ‘I... Okay,’ Piper said hesitantly.

      ‘Thank you,’ Emma said, hugging Piper. Then she broke away from Piper and drew him into a hug. ‘Thank you, Caleb.’

      ‘Why are you thanking me?’ he asked, though he patted Emma’s back.

      She aimed the puppy dog eyes at him now. ‘Because you’re going with Piper. You’re going to help her find Liam.’
