But he could feel everything hed worked for start to crumple around him. Theres never been any hate involved. Jason continued, not noticing Joshs reaction. And a swindler., For which he apologized, Jason interrupted before Aaron could work himself into a lather with the remembrance. I just want it to be perfect., Bracketing his brothers shoulders with his big hands, Jason smiled into Jeremys eyes. Hed proved that over and over again.

He shot a sideways glance at the oldest Bolt. After Irv died, it was hard to get into HCTB, especially since he'd always enjoyed the fandom as much as me. Jeremy?, The mill-owner lunged against Jasons grip. Together they remembered when theyd salted Candys grandfathers mine to help fulfill what they thought were a dying mans dreams. Jason met Lotties eyes and saw the same furious pain he himself felt. A little surprised that Jason would notice when he worked, he reluctantly acknowledged that, of everyone in town, the logger knew him best. He got a polite nod of greeting from Jeremy but Joshua refused to even look at him. Grasping great handfuls of neat blue uniform, Aaron slammed the colonel against the wall. Some glances held more than curiosity. Jason watched as suspicion and curiosity warred on Aarons face. Before all this had started, hed been sure of himself and where he stood, now he felt like an rudderless ship, lost and adrift.

He remembered Joshuas incessant questions and his fathers red-faced replies. Its true., Pshaw! she waved with indifference. Bolts opinion meant nothing.

He has a way of making people want to confide in him. My son. Most of the remaining guests stumbled around the room in varying degrees of drunkenness. You know, in spite of everything, Ive always respected Aaron Stempel. Josh managed a wan smile. Oh, God, he whispered, rubbing an agitated hand across his jaw. Before Jason could say a word, Biddie charged after her quarry. Im sure Jonathan did nae tell her after., Duncan covered his face with his hands. Find some connection to her? Lottie offered gently. I think he should be named after his father but Jon says no. I'm thrilled that you liked the writing if not the concept. The last of his fury swept away in the wave of her sincere affection. Oh, lad., Itll break your heart. Will you be a girl who will steal her fathers heart with her smile? For an instant he thought to deny the charge of having Indian blood. She walked over to him. Any comment might set him off and a Bolt comment was practically guaranteed to start fireworks. Jeremy snagged his jacket and headed for the door. Good or bad. He shuddered. And hell slap another layer on the wall that keeps everyone else out. Could we all sit?, Jason, if this is something between you and your brothers? Brow furrowed, Duncan gestured at the door. Thank you. Beside him, Candy dropped into a curtsey. If Thompson decides to give us that logging contract, itll make usor break us.. Aaron dropped his glare from Thompson to Lotties misty eyes. It was nae right what the colonel said to you., Is what he said any different from how you felt? Aaron snorted. She never knew. And it doesnt make him more. I remember the show, but just barely. Would they want to know? Ive had enough of that today. He started to get to his feet but he was just unsteady enough that she easily forced him back down. And if I cant figure it out, how can I fight it?. Blood or experience? Stempel, Candy nodded her head in wary greeting. No! Yes! Affronted, he dropped her hand.

I enjoyed this story and the new family dynamic from start to finish. Miss Cloom., I just have to tell you how badly we all feel about what happened to you the other day. She clung to Aarons sleeve. No! Ill tell you what I can. Both Bolts assumed identical thoughtful poses. Damn that Bolt. I know he wouldnt mind at all if you read them, seeing as you are needing to be close to him., Turning his hand over, Jason grasped the hand on top of his. What would ownership of a piece of the mountain buy him that he didnt already have? If only Maddie werent so sick, I would accept the consequences of my past mistakes and find a way to bring the boy into my family. Opening his mouth to say exactly that, he closed it abruptly. Neither fast nor flashy as a fighter, Aaron knew his strengths. Not immediately recognizing the voice, Aaron squinted into the darkness, barely making out a silhouette approaching from the Bolts cabin. I dont believe it, he spit in the older mans face. I dont know if Ill ever be ready, he whispered. I never intended to shout it from the rooftops., Maybe he thought he couldnt take that chance with my mothers life, Jason shrugged helplessly. Sorry, Jeremy mumbled, taking a step back. Does this mean, Exactly, gentlemen, Ashland grinned. Rules which you bent on occasion, Jason interjected. Only patience and persistence would turn the animal into a friend. It didnt work. Remember your mother was only fifteen at the time of the betrothal. I know the subject of the visit but nae the conclusion., Well, I wont keep you fine gentlemen in suspense much longer. His hand whisked over his beard and up into his hair. But, Its hard when its your own family. Lottie patted his shoulder as she picked the cups from the table. What are you doing just standing there?, Putting his feet in motion again, he walked over to lean on the porch rail. I said we need a family vote.. Prejudice of the kind the man had displayed couldnt be coddled, even if it did mean the loss of a huge contract. Jeremy jerked his head back just in time to avoid the boot whisking by his nose. He couldnt recall, in all the years theyd known each other, Aaron making the slightest mention of his mother. Its his turn tonight and we wouldnt want to deprive him of the pleasure of cleaning all of the evenings dishes., He patted Jason on the shoulder as he crossed to the door. I need to see that you want this as much as I do. Hed thought of little else for the previous week. As hed suspected, Lottie stood on his porch when he opened his door. Of all of Stempels devious plots and condescending attitudes, his heritage was the one thing Josh couldnt hold against him. Im talkin about siccing your loggers on me. Aaron knew in his gut Jason had nothing to do with the attack but at the moment he was willing to say almost anything to get Jason out of his office. The red-heads ax bit into the cedar with unusual vigor. Why would I know why that man does anything? Jeremy, I dont think Josh is the only one whos acting like grumpy old bear., Jeremy wiped a hand over his face. Aaron carefully scraped the razor down the line of his jaw. I have never thought of myself as cowardly, but the thought of seeing hatred in those eyes shrivels a piece of my soul. Well, why dont we get going then? Grateful, he nodded. Unlike Jason, Aaron never had been much good at lying. The gathering gloom of evening matched the darkness in his heart. Why dont you come in?, Fluttering her eyelashes at him, she threw him bright grin. What she knows. The man had a right to be called family.

They broke up reluctantly, trailing off in small groups, the buzz of rumor already starting. Scattered around the room were a half-dozen loggers and mill-workers. Relax. Jon is so happy. Jason noticed them at the same time. Here he was the boss. Maybe you can build a family relationship too., Hands on his hips, Jeremys eyes wandered up to the ceiling. After a long sleepless night, Jason stormed into Aaron Stempels office without knocking. What did the man really think of him? The deep voice dragged him back to his surroundings. No! Aaron let out his breath, feeling as staggered as Thompson looked. He said "Jeremy, you usually don't have this hard a liquor this early in the day. Bunching his shoulders around his ears, he dropped his head. All the brothers agreed and gulped their drinks. I dont think this cat can be put back in its bag. Just different than we were aware of before. He answered firmly, Absolutely not., I vote no, too. Where is he? Those idiotic expectations had only made it worse when Jonathan Bolt not only denied any tender feelings for his son, but also denied Aarons very existence.
