Well, crap.
Jacob, Cameron, and Sharon came forward.
“We should discuss this, Isabella.” Sharon folded her arms, mirroring Jacob.
Izzy walked over to Cameron and hugged him. The usually reserved Cameron bowed his head into her shoulder and crushed her to him.
Jealousy coated Logan’s throat and threatened to burn through his common sense. He knew there was nothing there on Isabella’s side for the man, but Logan knew a man an inch away from being in love. Logan had known it when they’d been finishing The Barn. He couldn’t blame him, but it didn’t mean he had to like it.
Friend or not—and he and Cam had been friends for years—he was prepared to rip one of Cam’s burly arms off and beat him with it. But he stepped back and Logan relaxed.
“You scared me, Bella. And then you didn’t let me come see you.”
“I know. Nic.” She lifted her shoulder. “I didn’t handle it well.”
“None of us did.”
“I know. And I’m going to make up for it. I need your help with The Barn. We’re going to have extra security.”
He nodded, pride lighting his eyes. “Whatever you need. This town missed you.” He looked up at Logan. “Missed both of you.”
“Isabella?” Sharon said.
Logan stepped next to Izzy. Whatever she was planning, he had to at least look like he wasn’t in the dark about it. “Sharon, we’ll keep the town safe. I promise. We have people that will make sure of it.”
Izzy nodded. “We need to show everyone that Winchester Falls takes care of their own.”
“Nichole would be proud. The hospital for Adam is crushing them in debt. We’ve had a few town meetings about raising money. And The Wolfes will take the help if it’s from the town.”
“I hope so.” She looked up at Logan, tears in her eyes. She missed her family and if he could do anything to help, he would.
Logan drew her into the street and across to the Escalade. “Think maybe you should clue me in on this kind of stuff? You know, before you take over the world.”
“I knew you’d try and talk me out of it.”
“Why?”
“Call the guys in. We’re going to lure out a crazy woman.” She rounded the truck and got inside.
What the hell did that mean? Logan opened the driver’s side door with a sigh. Fiona popped up in the back, barking her fool head off.
“Hush now.”
“She really doesn’t like it when you leave her behind,” he said.
Fiona tried to scramble over the console to the front seat. Izzy rubbed her face against the dog’s neck. “I know, I know. We’re going home now though. Okay?”
Fiona knew that word and vibrated with it.
“Get in the back.”
Fiona whimpered but eventually calmed in the backseat as they made their way down Main Street to the access road up to the house.
Izzy dug her phone out of her sweater. He heard the familiar buzz of a phone rebooting.
“Are you sure about this?”
She held up a finger as she dialed. “Marcus? I know—” She cut off as he obviously gave her a lecture. Since Logan was usually the one on the receiving end of those, he didn’t envy her.
