“You’re right about telling Grant. We should.”

“No, TJ should.”

“Do you think he’s going to agree to that?”

I hoped so. It would make things so much easier. “I’m at least going to give it a chance.”

“You always do like to play fair.”

“Let’s go.”

“I can handle this on my own.”

Rogue shook his head. “I don’t have time to wait for y’all to fuck for three or four hours before you get to the point. Grant will be back soon. We can talk to him while Jacob makes lunch.”

I rolled my eyes. “Jacob’s only been gone for a day. Are you already tired of making meals for yourself?”

“Our cooking is not in the same league as Jacob’s.”

That was true enough. “This is already not going to go well if I push him to talk to Grant, especially if he realizes you know about the situation too.”

“Did you really think I wouldn’t hear?”

“It’s one thing to know what we did last night, but it’s another to know about his family.”

Rogue waved off my concern and started walking toward the house. “I’m guessing he didn’t leave the house with you?”

“I don’t know where the hell he is. He may still be asleep in his room.”

I knocked on TJ’s door a few minutes later. It took a while, but eventually, he answered, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. He was clearly fresh out of the shower.

“Don’t get any ideas,” Rogue said, muscling past me into the room. “We’re here to talk.”

TJ stared at my twin. “You told him? You said—”

“He heard us.”

TJ grinned. “I told you he would.”

At least he didn’t care about that part. “I also told him about your situation. You need to talk to Grant. He can help. We can help.”

TJ eyed me strangely. “You’re telling me you want to help me?”

“I want to clear up your problem so we can get you out of here and no trouble comes down on us.”

He studied me for a moment. “The best way to do that is to just send me home.

“Once we agree to protect somebody, we take it seriously,” Rogue said.

TJ shook his head. “I’ve got someone working on it.”

“X?” I asked.

He scowled at me. “How did you know?”

“You’re smart enough to go to the person with the best ability to do that, and there’s no one better than X.”

“True.”
