him.
     
    “Okay then,” he said in a quiet voice. “Let’s go. Do you have everything you need?”
     
    She had a fleeting urge to talk to him honestly and openly, to tell him that his anger frightened her and made some of the things Lucas said to her seem plausible, but she was so tired and she felt like she had just blown it. She would go home finally, sleep, and start fresh in the morning, which happened to be the weekend so she could have some down time.
     

CHAPTER SIXTEEN
     
    Will and Laura checked out of the hotel. When she climbed on the back of his bike she felt like, given the situation, she should just chastely place her hands on his shoulders. He looked over at his shoulder at her before taking hold of her wrists and pulling them forward, and then grabbing the backs of her knees to slide her snug against him.
     
    A warm feeling of security coursed throughout her. She loved the way touching him made her feel. She loved his big giant body. And just now how he made her get next to him even though they had just had words. But she didn’t have the nerve to rest her head on his back to savor him for just a little while longer. They would be at his house in just few short minutes and that would be that.
     
    When they pulled up to Will’s house, Darren and Pete were out in front of the house. Laura sensed Will's concern. "Fellas?" he inquired.
     
    "Lucas told us that you and he were going back to your house?" Pete asked Laura. "Our problem with that is that the guys who have been house-sitting said there was a kind of an incident just before you got here. We were on our way over to check it out. We were just waiting for you."
     
    Laura was quiet. She honestly didn't know what to say. She felt she burned a bridge with Will. "Let's go check it out. Have the police been called?" Will asked.
     
    "Yes they've been called. I am pretty sure they want to talk to Laura," said Pete. "They're investigating a connection between what happened last night and the vandalism."
     
    "And Lucas? He has been here the entire time?" Will asked.
     
    Laura was overly tired so she overreacted but she was offended by his question. "Why wouldn't he be?"
     
    "I have to ask," Will glared at her.
     
    "Yes he has been with us. Physically present in the room with us. We were playing a video game on the big screen," answered Darren.
     
    "Good," said Will stiffly. "Let's go survey the damage."
     
    Laura was so tired. "I want to go check in with Lucas first," she said.
     
    Will put a firm hand on her shoulder to stay her. The touch was more than she could bear. She had gotten so turned around this afternoon and now she couldn't remember why she had been so short with him. She fired a glance him and struggled to hold back the tears.
     
    He was polite but distant. "I want you to stay here with Lucas. We can let the cops talk to you tomorrow. For now, the boys and I will go see how bad it is."
     
    She complied and watch them go. She went down Will's family room and said hello to her brother. "Where's Will? " he asked. Laura began to cry. "What's the matter?" he asked her urgently.
     
    "I think it's all getting to me," Laura tilted her head on her brother's chest. "I am so worried about you. And Will, who has been so good to us, is upset with me - " she choked. "I am so dumb." Laura felt Lucas look away. She lifted her head to see what had his interest. There in door way of the family room was Will, leaning, waiting. Laura burned with embarrassment. She was only glad she hadn't said any more than she had. She might have said something stupid like the thought she loved him. There was a silence that blanketed the room. Laura and Will regarded each other seriously for a moment.
     
    "Are you okay?" he asked her quietly.
     
    Laura shrugged.
     
    "Have you hurt my sister?" Lucas demanded.
     
    "No, Lucas, I haven't," Will answered matter of factly. "We've just over done it today and she's tired. She's fine and we're fine," he answered Lucas
