His brother let out a low chuckle. “You know I’m just kidding, though it has been a while since you’ve been in a relationship. I’m just thinking of your happiness. Mom told me Tory’s both beautiful and charming.”
Griffin headed into one of the stalls to check the supply of feed, even though it wasn’t his job.
Caden followed him, stopping in the doorway. “I’m sorry.”
“Forget it. That was a long time ago. I just haven’t found what I’m looking for.”
“What are you looking for?”
He headed into the next stall, wanting to ignore the question. Wanting to ignore the entire topic.
“You’re not exactly one to give relationship advice.”
The four brothers had fought like cats and dogs growing up, but in the end they would have sacrificed anything for each other. Caden and his fiancée had broken off their engagement the night before their wedding. He’d never told Griffin the entire story of what had happened, and Griffin had never pushed. Just like he’d never shared with Caden all the details of losing Lilly.
But none of that mattered right now.
“What I just said crossed the line,” Griffin said.
“Forget it. It’s just that you’ve just seemed...lost lately.”
Griffin stepped out of the stall. “I’m fine. Busy at work and church... There’s nothing to complain about.”
“But that’s not always enough, is it?”
“I just...” He stopped. Wasn’t that the same question he’d been asking himself? What was he looking for?
Satisfied the horses had what they needed for the night, Griffin buttoned the top of his coat. He needed to get back to the house to ensure everything was okay there.
“If things were different, I might not mind getting to know her, but she can’t remember much more than her name, which makes it a bit hard.” He stopped just inside the doorway leading outside and rested his hands on his hips. “I think the stress of all of this is taking more of a toll than I realized.”
“She’s going to be fine,” Caden said, heading toward the door with him. “She’s got you as her guardian.”
He was cold and tired and needed to get a good night’s sleep if he was going to be able to do his job. “We both should get some sleep.”
“Agreed. I’ll see you in the morning.”
Griffin walked back to the house and made another sweep of the perimeter, knowing he wouldn’t sleep tonight. While the chances of Jinx or his men facing this storm seemed slim, he still wasn’t going to dismiss the possibility. That meant he couldn’t put his guard down.
He glanced up at the window of the room where Tory was sleeping then shifted his gaze toward the shadows in the living room. This time he wasn’t imagining anything. Someone had broken into the house.
