 “Let’sfind you something else to wear until you can get your things dug out of your car,” Lainey said, standing in the middle of her walk-in closet. She opened a drawer, rummaged through. “Here. These are the best.”
 
 She tossed a pair of leggings at me. “If they’re your favorite, I can’t take them from you.”
 
 I was in the same clothes I’d worn when I left Father’s house. Minus panties since they hadn’t been with my clothes when I got dressed. When I asked Trig after them, he only smiled, which meant he hid them. Then he’d told me that he liked easy access to his pussy.
 
 I wasn’t going to tell her I didn’t bring anything with me.
 
 “I bought three pairs. Plus this top and sweater.” She pushed the items at me and walked out of the closet.
 
 I turned and stared after her, then realized she expected me to change right then and there.
 
 Through the open doorway, I saw her lower legs hanging off the edge of her bed. She was waiting.
 
 “You okay staying with Trig? Just say the word and I can rescue you.”
 
 I pushed off my old leggings and swapped them for Lainey’s cozy ones. God, they were really great. Thick and soft and perfect for lounging.
 
 “I think you already did,” I called.
 
 She laughed. “I give him an hour.”
 
 I put my head through the neckhole of the shirt. “An hour for what?”
 
 “To ride over here and take you back. He’s a Wilder boy.”
 
 My eyes widened, even though she couldn’t see me.
 
 “You’re kidding.”
 
 “Nope. One thing you have to learn about my brothers–and I am definitely an expert–they are bossy and obstinate.”
 
 I pulled on the thick chenille cardigan and walked out of the closet.
 
 She eyed me and smiled. “You look great. I wish I had hair like yours. So dark.”
 
 I frowned. “What are you talking about? You have a cute style and I’d give my right arm for your color.”
 
 Her hair went past her shoulders and was a color women paid hundreds of dollars at a salon to achieve. I was sure hers was natural.
 
 “Fine. I like my hair, but I’m jealous of your boobs and you can’t make me think otherwise.” She put her hands over hers and cupped them. They were definitely smaller and I bet she could wear cute bralettes, which I hadn’t fit into since I was fourteen.
 
 I glanced down at myself. I never thought they were spectacular. Just… a lot.
 
 “I always have to wear a bra,” I told her. “Always.”
 
 She shrugged. “Worth it.”
 
 I couldn’t help but laugh. “Whatever.”
 
 “Come on. I got a fancy coffeemaker for my birthday and it makes amazing mochas. Want one?”
 
 “God, yes.”
 
 I followed her down the hall to her kitchen. Where Trig’s place was two stories, Lainey’s house was a rancher. From what I could tell, it had two bedrooms with an open floor plan kitchen, dining and family room. It was pretty much a log cabin that was situated in front of a pond. Not that I knew it was there because of all the snow, but Lainey pointed in that direction when we’d walked from her huge garage.
 
 On the walls were tons of photos. I recognized her family and a bunch of images of a younger Lainey on the back of a horse, the animal moving so fast his legs were practically a blur. A number was pinned to her shirt so she must compete. Barrel racing?
