“I missed having a farm sink with a big window,” I murmured. “But I guess it didn’t matter since I didn’t have to do any dishes anymore.”

“Oh?”

I felt the heat creep up my neck. Chase made me nervous. Or maybe it was that I was comfortable. That was even more dangerous.

“Mason insisted I was not to interact with the…help.” My nose wrinkled at the last word. I’d never thought of the staff members as beneath me, but Mason did. And he made sure I understood the rules.

Chase’s lips twitched. “Feel free to wash any dishes while you’re here,” he teased.

I let myself smile. A real one. “I guess we’ll have to get some dirty, then.”

For a fleeting second, it felt like a decade hadn’t passed between us. But then reality came crashing back.

“Not that I’ll be here long enough to create any. Of course, I’ll wash what I use, but—”

“Anna…”

“I mean, obviously I can’t stay, I just—”

“Anna.”

I snapped my eyes to his, semi-frozen by his tone.

Of course, he noticed it, and immediately he relaxed his stance. “You’re welcome here. I mean it.” His voice was gentler now, but his eyes held steady

“But why are you here?”

“I told you. I startled a deer and ran off the road.”

“Why were you out in that weather?”

I hesitated. “I was going to my parents.”

His jaw flexed. “Bullshit, Anna. You were headed away from their farm. Why do I sense there’s more to the story than what you’re telling me? Are you in trouble?”

My hands began to tremble. I forced them to cross in front of me, pressing them tightly against my ribcage.

“Did something happen? Are your parents okay?”

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Jack let out a soft whine and pushed his head underneath my palm, his fur warm and soft beneath my fingers. Chase watched me carefully, his expression unreadable.

“You’re safe here,” he breathed. “Trust me.”
