I Married My Childhood Enemy to Save Our Family Farm – But After the Wedding, He Took Me to the Barn and Showed Me What Our Parents Had Been Hiding from Us for 20 Years
“Because if you keep watching, you’ll see what I saw.”
His eyes remained on our parents. “They don’t look like people who made a sacrifice.”
Mom touched Grant’s arm. Dad grinned. Mary looked ill.
I stepped forward, but Tom caught my wrist.
“Hazel, not yet.”
“Let go.”
“We need to go to the old barn.”
“Now.”
I yanked free. “Why would I go anywhere with you?”
Tom reached into his jacket and showed me an old iron key.
My mouth went dry.
The old barn stood near the back pasture. Grant had forbidden Tom from entering it. Dad had forbidden me from touching the door.
“Where did you get that?” I asked.
“My father’s desk.”
“I borrowed it from a liar.”
That shut me up.
“What did you find?”
Tom’s face shifted. He looked exhausted.
“What our parents have been hiding from us for 20 years.”
Behind him, Dad and Grant lifted their glasses.
That decided it.
