giving him a kiss goodbye, and turned her head so Collin’s kiss landed on her cheek.
    “We’ll be back in a couple of hours,” Collin said.
    “See you,” she called over her shoulder and went inside her house.
    Collin jumped back in the truck and slammed the door.
    “Way to go, asshole.”
    “Don’t be a dick. That’s not my fault and you know it,” Cade responded.
    They both knew the vandalism wasn’t the only thing bothering their mate. She’d been holding back since their encounter with her ex. Her smiles didn’t fully reach her eyes and though she’d initiated their love making the night before, afterward she seemed withdrawn. It had to be something the man said before they arrived, or her admission to being alone over the holidays. Whatever the reason, she was trying to put distance between them.
    She had no idea who she was dealing with. Unless she said she didn’t want them, and honestly meant it, they wouldn’t let her push them away.
    They met Gage at his house and gathered the materials they would need to remove the paint and then started on the job. As promised, they finished a few minutes before her father showed up to open the doors at ten.
    “How bad was it?” he asked when he approached and saw them putting the supplies in the back of the truck.
    “Bad,” Collin said.
    Cade nodded, unsure what else to say. They’d met her father when they’d all visited the theater on one of Sam’s off nights, and they both instantly liked the man.
    “She’s a bit shaken, but it’s nothing a bit of cheering up won’t cure. I trust the two of you can think of something to make her smile again.”
    “We’re on our way, sir. I’m thinking a day at the mall might be nice for everyone,” Collin said.
    “I like the way you boys think. I’ll let you get to it then. Have fun.”
    With his approval voiced, Mr. Hastings disappeared inside the theater. His consent meant so much, and Cade had a feeling he wasn’t as oblivious as Sam thought. Her father seemed to understand their special relationship, and condone it.
    Now they only had to convince their mate.
    They jumped in the truck and went to find her.

    “Dad,” Sam called when she entered the house. She hated the way she left the truck without giving Cade the time of day and brushing off Collin, but seeing those words scrawled across her father’s business had stunned her.
    She honestly thought Jack was the culprit, but what if it was someone else in town. The three of them hadn’t exactly kept things low key. What would her father say when he found out the rumors were true?
    “Good morning, darlin’,” he called from the kitchen. “You’re home early.”
    “Dad, someone vandalized the movie theater. Gage woke me up to file the report.”
    “Hey,” he said and hugged her. “Don’t cry. We’ll get it sorted. Do I need to call the insurance company?”
    “No, it was spray paint and Cade and Collin are removing it for us. I think Jack did it. I ran into him at the café yesterday and when they guys told him to leave me alone, he said some pretty nasty things.”
    “Like what?”
    She pulled out if his embrace and looked at the floor. She couldn’t look him in the eye and repeat the words.
    “He called me a slut, and…some other stuff. The words on the building were slut, skank and whore .”
    “I told you he was an asshole. Should I go down and help the guys?”
    “No, I think they can handle it on their own. Dad, you’re not…mad at me?”
    “Why would I be mad at you for the actions of that stupid little shit? I just hate to see you so upset over something so senseless. Let it go, darlin’. I’ll send those boys over to pick you up and you go out and enjoy your day off. I’m going to get ready for work.”
    “Okay. See you later, dad. I love you.”
    “I love you, too. Have a good day.”
    Sam stared after her father as he walked out of the room.
    What just happened?
    He didn’t seem to care about the
