Mountain Grump (Mountain Men #3)

Chapter 108

Tilda

My family has been outside for hours.

When they first got here, they shouted things at the house. I heard them jiggling the doorknob, testing if it was locked. I peeked out the bedroom curtains to see my cousin circle the house.

And I wanted to scream.

Wanted to shout at them to get off my lawn.

But since my garage door is closed, and I haven’t made a peep, I’m pretty sure they think I’m not home.

They’re still here, though. Waiting.

And if they…

I sit up.

Then I scramble off my bed.

At the doorway, I pause, then peek my head out into the living room.

My family is still there, standing outside, but now they’re faced away from the house.

And my heart lurches when Ethan’s truck roars into view.
