those Durden boys was shadowing and chauffeuring you everywhere. This is the first time I have seen you out by yourself. It’s a little surprising, that’s all.”
    Summer sat and thought about that for a moment. She hated to admit it but Grace was correct. Ever since she had moved to town, either Dalton, Denver, or Dillon had been with her when she left the house. She had not paid any attention to it.
    “No, the guys don’t know I’m gone. Didn’t think I needed to get permission to leave the house.” Summer was beginning to get agitated when the sound of the diner’s phone ringing cut off her thoughts.
    Summer watched as Sonny answered the phone. Although she tried to strain to hear over the bustling noise of the diner, she couldn’t tell what was said. She wasn’t sure why she was concerned about the phone call. She just was.
    She watched as Sonny nodded his head and looked in her direction, smiling. Grace’s voice cut into her thoughts.
    “Hmmm, seems like they finally caught up with you.” Grace teased as she looked back and forth from Sonny to Summer. “I’m surprised they didn’t burst into the diner, causing a scene.”
    Almost instantly, Summer’s head swung around in the direction of the entrance as if in anticipation. She had completely ignored Sonny and Grace exchanging words.
    Grace relayed the message that was given to Sonny. “Summer, that was Dalton on the phone. He said you need to turn on your cell phone, or the next time you leave the house without leaving a note, he is going to cause a big scene, no matter where you are.”
    Summer slowly shook her head. Those men constantly confused her. They wanted to keep tabs on her, treat her like she was important to them, but she knew she wasn’t.
    The intimate scene that had occurred the night before between her, Dillon and Denver was a mistake. She shouldn’t have let her guard down. It was like being intoxicated. Whenever she was around any or all of them, her willpower simply dissipated. She had to get a better grasp on her brain and her body. The emotional rollercoaster was never ending. It made it difficult to control her own feelings, so she did what she had always done. She suppressed them.
    Instead of commenting on Dalton’s message, Summer changed the topic as she stood to leave. “I’m going to do a little shopping before I head back to the house.”
    Grace nodded, respecting the subject change. “Sweetheart, do you have any close friends besides your sisters? A woman should always be in the company of a good friend when she’s shopping.”
    That statement caused Summer to squirm. Only recently Summer had learned that having friends could be a very dangerous thing.
    She had her reasons for accepting the new job in Whispering Mountain. A new start in a new place plus the obscene pay increase were bonuses she couldn’t pass up. Living closer to her happily pregnant sister was another added bonus. Finally, it was the perfect reason for cutting all ties with ex-friends.
    “Nah, I’m pretty solitary.” It was the best answer she could muster without telling a direct lie.
    Grace nodded but she looked like she was not completely sold on Summer’s story. She knew when a woman was keeping her secrets close. Grace mentally dismissed the topic. She hoped that the young woman would find someone to confide in. She watched as Summer waved her good-byes and paid her check.
    “Summer, don’t forget to turn on your cell phone. This town doesn’t need three crazy, bull-headed men ripping our town apart looking for you.”
    Summer smirked but took her cell phone out of her purse. She might be just as stubborn as Dalton, Denver, and Dillon, but she wasn’t stupid. They’d do it. They would come searching for her, and she knew it would not be a pretty sight. She was so deep in thought as she left the diner, Summer was absolutely oblivious to the occupied red Camaro parked at the end of the street.
