I loved my brother-in-law.
“I think that just might work. At least partially,” Lynn replied.
I sure hoped so. Because I’d never had a kid before. I didn’t want to fuck it up by myself.

“He’s out.”
My head whipped around, and just that small of a movement had my stomach tightening in protest.
“When?” I asked.
“As of fifteen minutes ago,” Lynn said into my ear. “He should be on the way there now.”
I was a little bit sad that he was out and hadn’t wanted me to come get him.
But I wasn’t going to complain too badly.
I mean, the man was out!
I had my man back!
“The man we got in as a character witness to men having brain bleeds was very influential,” Lynn said. “It made the difference.”
I’d done my research.
After Bruno had gone in, I had nothing but time to figure out a way to get him out.
I didn’t care if I had to lie, cheat and steal. I was getting him out.
I would not live my life without him any longer.
Even if I had to move to a country that didn’t extradite criminals, I’d do it.
My family would just have to come to me for holidays.
“I knew it would,” I said, getting up off the couch and heading toward the door.
I’d taken up residence in Bruno’s house.
Now, there was a little bit of me, and a little bit of him, sprinkled everywhere.
I hoped that he didn’t mind.
But I needed to be there to help with the animals.
I didn’t want anything to happen to them while Bruno was gone.
I didn’t see him on the porch and knew that he probably wouldn’t be here as fast as I was hoping if he’d just been released. Sadly, where they’d been keeping him, the prison in Huntsville, was over two hours away.
