Zach pulled his truck in behind a big black SUV in the driveway of Shauna’s house. “Looks like he’s here. That’s Ellie’s car too, isn’t it?”

Shauna leaned forward with her hand on the door release. “Looks like it.”

She could barely wait for the truck to stop. She wanted to see Grayson again, drink in his familiar blue eyes and blond hair. It had taken all her strength to let him come back to Lavender Tides without her. Zach had cut the final days of their honeymoon short because he saw how she was pining to see her brother.

It was still hard to wrap her head around his new name after all these years.

Zach put his hand on hers. “Calm down, honey. He’s not going anywhere.”

“I’m so eager to get to know him, to find out about his childhood. There’s so much to catch up on.” She sent a smile her husband’s way. Zach was so wonderful. They’d spent lazy days walking the beach and talking about the future. They wanted more children, and he had all kinds of plans about making Hurricane Roost a full-service regional airport. The current expansion was just the first step.

It still thrilled her to look at his broad shoulders and easy smile and to know they had a future together. She put her other hand on top of his. “Thanks for finding him for me.”

“Now to find Brenna.”

Her mood took a detour at the reminder of her missing sister. “There seems to be no trace of her, Zach. How can that be? There isn’t even a reference to a baby being found at the grocery store in the debris. But she was there—I held her.”

“Maybe Grayson remembers something.”

“I doubt it. He doesn’t even remember me.”

“Getting back here might stir some memories.” He squeezed her hand and released it. “Let’s go in.”

She shoved open her door and jumped out. Her heart hammered in her chest, and she grabbed Zach’s hand to hurry up the walk to the front door. “Looks like the yard needs to be mowed.”

“I’ll get to it tomorrow.” Zach paused with his finger on the doorbell. “I suppose we should ring the bell. We’re not living here now, but he is.”

“You think of everything.”

He pressed the bell, and she heard it ding from inside. Through the big windows she saw Ellie and Grayson talking. They looked friendly and almost cozy. Grayson, clad in khaki shorts and a red T-shirt, had his long legs stretched out in front of him and watched Ellie with a lazy smile.

Grayson’s head turned at the doorbell, then he rose and came their way. He smiled when he saw them through the window and opened the door. “You didn’t have to ring the bell.”

What was the proper thing to do now? She wanted to grab him in a tight hug, but their relationship was still awkward. There was no textbook on how to begin a relationship with a long-lost sibling.

He took the decision out of her hands when he gave her a quick sideways hug, then released her before she had a chance to respond.
