the matter, dear? You are so wound up I thought you’d snap. I can tell by your eyes that you’ve seen more and handled more than someone your age ought to. But, you can relax now. You’re among friends.”
    Dani wished that was true, but she knew her enemies wouldn’t rest until they had her and Kenna.
    “Here, this will help you relax.” Miss Lily poured a glass of what looked to be iced tea and handed it to her.
    Dani took a sip and sputtered.
    “That’s my famous sweet tea with bourbon. Thought you could use an extra kick to help you relax a little.” Miss Lily paused and her eyes widened as an idea hit her. “I know what you need! You need a man.”
    This time Dani choked, “Miss Lily!” She coughed a little before taking another sip. The stuff was good and after four months of having no alcohol, she was already feeling that tingling feeling wash over her.
    “That’s exactly what you need. Someone to share your burden. Someone to share some other things with too,” Miss Lily giggled, taking a sip of her own tea. “I know the perfect person, well persons. Kenna’s friend, Paige, has five brothers! One is too young, but there are four eligible bachelors for your picking.”
    Dani gave a little snort before taking another drink. “I am sure Paige would love to have me as a sister-in-law. You think she’ll help hook me up?” she said sarcastically.
    “Sure. Although it’s kinda hard to choose between my brothers,” Paige walked around the side of the house and up the stairs to take a seat on the porch.
    Dani felt her face turn red and decided to bury it in her spiked sweat tea. Great. With Paige's arrival, Dani was once again the third wheel.
    “I thought Miles would be good. No, wait! Marshall would be best. After all, he owns a security company.” Miss Lily clapped her hands together and nodded to herself as if it was a done deal.
    “When Kenna had some of her trouble, I tried to have Agent Parker bring Marshall in to help. But nooo, Mr. Big Shot FBI Agent thinks he can do everything himself.” Paige turned to Miss Lily, “You think I can have a glass of your special brew?”
    “Sure thing. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”
    Dani was pretty sure Paige felt just as uncomfortable as she did. She didn’t know what to talk to her about and it was kinda weird sitting next to her replacement. “So, what kind of problems has Kenna been having? I thought everything was picture perfect here until Chad found out where she was. Kenna never mentioned anything except that she was fine.”
    “It seems Kenna left a lot out. I am sure it was nothing compared to what you went through, but she was hospitalized after Chad tried to run her down with a truck out at Will’s farm. She only got away when Will hit the truck with a couple of rounds from his rifle.”
    “I didn’t know. Was she hurt badly?”
    “She was unconscious for two hours and bruised pretty badly down one side. Then Whitney attacked her at the Derby in a horse barn,” Paige explained.
    “Who’s Whitney?”
    “She’s Will’s ex-wife. But more importantly, she’s Senator Bruce’s daughter. Whitney Amber Bruce.”
    “I’ve heard both names before.” Dani closed her eyes and saw the men in cheap black suits walking in front of her. They were talking about the Senator and Whitney, but she hadn’t known the connection until now.
    “I am pretty sure they’re both evil. After Whitney spilled the beans about Chad’s attempted murder and everything she knew, Kenna thought she was going to be safe. She sent for you and waited for you to get here. That’s when she got a package from Chad. It was a picture of you and her with Chad in the middle, taken on the night of her birthday. He told her he’ll never forget you two. It freaked her out pretty badly. She’s put on a pretty good face, but she’s been affected. She’s one of the strongest people I have ever met. Now that she has her mind set on bringing them down, she isn’t quite as
