them things, but I’m thinking the thing is at least fifteen years old. Maybe you can have it fixed up for her sometime.”
    “She’ll leave me.” His dad smiled and nodded, and Jarrett wondered what he thought was so funny. “I don’t know that much about her other than what you’ve told me, but I have a feeling she’s tougher than she looks. And though she might suffer from depression or whatever, she’s keeping a good handle on it.”
    “Look at her wrists, son.” Jarrett frowned and looked back at his room where she was. “She’s cut herself at least once. I’d say from the scars that she’d done it about five years ago. And she…she had some knowledge on what she was about, too. Someone saved her for you, and you’d better make sure you keep her safe.”
    “She cut her wrists?” His dad nodded, and Jarrett wanted to wake her and ask her about it but knew that she needed her rest more. “I’ll watch her. I promise. And I’ll try my best to keep her happy. I know enough about this illness to know that it’s a misunderstood illness, but I’ll see what I can find out.”
    “You do that. Me too. I’ll see what I can find out on the inter-web, as well as talk to that new doc of the packs. Maybe he has something that’ll help us.” Jarrett wanted to tell his dad that she was his to look after, but knew that it would be like telling the counter to stay clean. His dad had his mind set and that was it.
    As soon as his dad left, Jarrett got his laptop and took it to the bedroom where she was. He contacted both Slone and Jack, who said they’d help him out. Then he talked to Luke.
    I can find out everything you need, but asking her might get you some major brownie points. Jack really hates it when I just assume. I think it’s a woman thing . Jarrett grinned and knew that Jack was pissy about him doing things for her without asking. She was still trying to acclimate herself to having money all the time. She got really pissed last week when I got her that car.
    She was pissed because you bought her a “big fucking” car, I think she called it. And I will ask her, but I want to make sure that no one is going to be coming for her, like a husband . Luke said he would check. Also, can you please set up some houses for us? I’m not keen on living in one, but she’ll want one .
    Luke said he would but suggested once again that he ask Addie. And welcome her to the family for me. I’m assuming that she’ll be at dinner tomorrow ?
    Jarrett had no idea, and when he closed the connection to his brother he had to let Jack in. Twenty minutes later, he was tossed out of his apartment when she said she’d care for his Addison.

 
     
    Chapter 3
     
    Addie glared at the door to the rest of the apartment. She’d either have to go out there half dressed…less than half dressed…or stay in this room. She wasn’t really fond of either option, but she was hungry. The woman, Jack, had assured her over two hours ago that she’d be back with some clothes. Addie was going to murder her. When her belly grumbled again, she moved to the door and pulled it open.
    There wasn’t anyone in the living room, though she thought that if she had to be here, this would be a room she would spend a great deal of time in. Like the bedroom, there were so many shades of reds and blues that she wondered if the owner had a color chart no one else was privy to. It was gorgeous. She heard music in one of the other rooms and moved opposite to it. Where she heard music she thought there would be people, and she wasn’t in the mood for them right now.
    Going into what she assumed was the front of the place, she found herself in the kitchen, and Jarrett was there as well. By the way he was dressed—and damn, the man was dressed—she assumed he was on his way to work.
    “Should you be up?” Her mouth was broken, she figured, when after three tries all she could manage was a grunt and a groan. “Jack said that you’d more than likely
