take Brody
to a dealership to purchase a truck.
    “You
don’t think you’re going to be out riding around in it, do you?” Sam asked.
    “No. I
just need a way to get around if I have to go out. Come on, Sam, I’m going nuts
here. It’s been four weeks and I could do something in the office for you.”
    “I’ll
be out on my lunch break.” Sam hung up.
      Brody knew Sam wasn’t happy about it, but
he’d take Brody wherever he needed to go. There wasn’t anyone else he could
ask. Mark would be sleeping and there was no way he’d ask Madilyn. After the
way he talked to her the last time she was here, he’d be lucky if she ever
spoke to him again. He ran his hand down his face. What the fuck is wrong with you? She’d been there to help him and
he threw it back in her face. God! You’re an idiot, Morgan.
      Later in the afternoon, Sam arrived and
they headed for the car dealership. Brody picked out a black Silverado 4x4. As
he drove it home, he grinned. He’d talked Sam into letting him come into the
office a few days a week. Brody had to get out of the house or he’d go
stir-crazy. He could get around all right, only a twinge of pain, and he no
longer needed the pain meds. What he needed to do was apologize to Madilyn.
      Brody pulled into the parking lot of the
florist shop. Taking a deep breath, he slowly made his way to the shop. The
bell over the door rang as he entered. Sam’s sister, Katie, sat at the counter.
Her smile faltered a little when she saw him.
    “Hello,
Brody.” She stood as he walked toward the counter.
    “Hi
Katie.” He
glanced around. “Is Madilyn around?”
    “She
didn’t come in today. She said she wasn’t feeling well.”
    Brody
nodded. “All right. Thanks.” He turned to go when
Katie’s voice stopped him.
    “Don’t
hurt her again, Brody. Please.”
    Brody
turned toward her. “I didn’t hurt her intentionally the first time, Katie. You
should know that.”
    Kaitlyn
moved back around the counter and stared at him. “I know you didn’t mean to,
but you did. She was a wreck when you left. I will not see her go through it
again.” She placed her hands on her slim hips and glared up at him.
    Brody
glanced away and then back to her. “I know you mean well, Katie, and trust me,
I don’t want to hurt her again. I just need to see her now to apologize…”
    “Yeah,
I know you do.” Kaitlyn took a seat on the stool behind the counter. “You were
a prick, Brody. She was there to help you. Yes, she told me all about it.”
    “ Jesus . I know you mean well but this is
between Madilyn and me. No one else.” He glared at
Kaitlyn, letting her know whom he meant.
    She
waved her hand. “Fine. Go apologize, but don’t expect
a warm welcome.” Kaitlyn opened an order book and Brody knew he’d been
dismissed. He strode out of the shop, got into his truck, and drove to
Madilyn’s apartment. Brody sat in the parking lot staring toward her place. Get the hell out of the truck! He sighed
and got out and walked toward her apartment. Standing in front of her door, he
couldn’t knock. He stared at the door. Grow
some balls, Morgan! He knocked quickly before he lost his nerve. What are you so afraid of? Her anger. He hated seeing her anger, especially aimed at
him. Her redhead temper was deadly. He smiled, she had a lot of fire in her,
and he loved that about her. The smile left his face when the door opened.
    “What
are you doing here, Brody?”
      “Can I come in?” he asked. She looked
terrible.
    She
sighed and opened the door to him. He strolled past her and stood in the center
of the hallway. She moved past him and took a seat on her sofa. A blanket lay
on it with a pillow. Tissues lay on the coffee table.
    “I
really don’t feel well, and I look like shit.” She sniffed.
    “Yeah,
you do.” He grinned at her and took a seat when she laughed. Brody cleared his
throat. “I came to apologize for the way I treated you.”
    “When? Four weeks
ago or five years
