“Oh, you did not just young lady me.” She poked him in the chest. “You’re my brother, not my keeper, Aidan Savage. And you do not get to boss me around.”
“I’m just trying to keep you safe.” There was a note of something in his voice.
Vulnerability.
Fear.
It sliced through her anger. She let out a tired sigh. What was she doing? This was the man who had sacrificed so much for her. She had no right to fight with him.
No. She owed him everything.
“You’re right. I’m sorry. I’ll pay for the ticket and hotel room if you let me know how much it costs. It will be fun.”
Maybe.
It wasn’t that she didn’t love the idea of a vacation. But the idea of all those people kind of freaked her out.
“Good.” Aidan breathed a sigh of relief.
Livvy cleared her throat. “Greer?”
“Yes?”
“Do you want to go with us?”
“I . . . of course. I love you guys. It will be fun.”
Livvy snorted. “Yeah. You’ll never make it as an actor. Daddy, she doesn’t want to come.”
Aidan frowned. “It will be safer for her.”
“Will it?” Livvy asked gently. “Are you thinking of her? Or yourself? She won’t be in danger staying here.”
“She’ll be on her own.”
Okay, now this was fun to watch. She sat back down.
“Greer, who do you live with in Savannah?” Livvy asked.
“Um, no one.”
“And have you ever been in danger?”
“Only of passing out when Mr. Helmet Head wears too much hair spray.”
Livvy turned to Sav. “She’ll be fine here. She’s got Duke next door. Besides, any of the guys will come running if she even stubs her toe and you know it. Because you threatened to castrate them if they didn’t.”
“I didn’t go that far,” Aidan said. “I want to spend time with my sister.”
“Uh-uh.” Livvy waggled a finger. “Do not try to guilt or bully her into coming with us. It’s not fair. She gets to live her own life without you bossing her around.”
“Boom. You tell him, sister!” Greer pumped her fist into the air.
Livvy grinned as Aidan sighed. Long and loud.
“Is this the way it’s going to be? The two of you ganging up on me?”
“Yep!” she replied. “I always wanted a sister, Livvy.”
