CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Jake cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his head, clearly trying to delay the conversation. Sam started tapping her foot, frustrated that Jake wouldn't begin his story. Glaring, she began to tap her foot harder. Jake rolled his eyes at her and settled in to begin his story.
"As you know Sam, your dad married Brynna quickly, not really even dating her. The news of their engagement shocked the entire town, my mom and your grandmother especially. As you also know, my mom and your mom were friends in high school. Well, Brynna went to that school too." Jake stopped talking, uncomfortable with the conversation. Raising her eyebrow at him, Sam urged him to continue his tale. Blaring at her, he did so.
"From what I've heard, Brynna was jealous of your mom and Wyatt dating. According to my mom, Brynna tried to break them up constantly. Because you're here, you can see that that didn't work out too well. As far as I know, nobody had seen her since high school. So, as you can imagine, it was a shock to your dad when we went to Willow Springs to check out wild horses. And yes, she still works there even though your dad doesn't like the BLM offices. Anyways, she and your dad met and he remembered her from high school. He tried to stay away from her and succeeded until that one night." Again, Jake paused and tried to decide the best way to tell Sam the situation. He glanced at her to gauge her reactions so far and was startled at the blank look on her face. His gaze slid away and with it, his resolve to 'fancy up' his words.
"To say the least Sam, your dad got drunk at a bar in town and Brynna was in the bar also. Word is, Brynna looked like your mom that night and Wyatt slept with her. She ended up getting pregnant and told your dad. Both you and I, apparently her also, knows how honorable your dad is. So, he did the right thing and married her." Jake kept silent, waiting for Sam to process what he'd just said. When he saw her narrow her eyes in confusion, he waited for the questions he knew would be coming. Instead of the questions however, her eyes narrowed further, anger and colness filling them. Her hand slipped to her pocket, closing around the switchblade. A single word hissed through her teeth, venom coating the word.
"Bitch."
