No One to Trust
“The simple building with palm trees and an American flag outside it shouldn’t be intimidating.
“You have nothing to be nervous about. As soon as Grant lets us know the bank is clear, you’re good to go inside.” Next to her in the driver’s seat of the car Grant had retrieved for them, Porter was once again the epitome of calmness.
He didn’t need to say a damn word. The man just made her feel safe simply by being here. After seeing him in action more than once, she knew there was no one she’d rath...er be with right now than him.
She was thankful for that. For so many years she’d been cleaning up Benny’s messes on her own. On an intellectual level she knew she was only enabling her brother. But she didn’t know how to stop helping him. Turning her back on him seemed cruel when she was the only family member who would have anything to do with him. Having Porter helping her even when she knew what he thought about her brother was a huge relief. She hadn’t even realized how stressful taking care of Benny had become until now, when she had someone sharing the burden.MoreLess
