Then, Nate turns to my father and pushes himself up until he’s slightly swaying on his legs. "Mr. McGuire." He reaches out his hand. "I’m Lilly’s brother, Nate Hamlin."

Dad looks between Nate's face and his hand. I can see the wheels in his head turning before he takes it. "Nate. Call me Tristen."

I expel a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I have no clue what I was expecting.

They both shake, followed by Nate turning to me. "Can you help me upstairs? I need to get to work."

Surprised that he wants my help, I’m momentarily stunned, but then I wrap his arm around my shoulder and slowly lead him to the stairs.

Behind me, I hear Dad tell Den and Wes that he's going to go check in with Mom. I don't know what they're going to do, but the selfish prick in me doesn't give a fuck.

Nate is here, and he is our best chance of finding Lilly.
