He nuzzled against her. "Baby, please, talk to me. Tell me what's wrong. What's happenin'?" He kissed her hair, then looked up as he saw the front door open.

Rose immediately pulled away from him. "Rose, where've you been?" she heard her father ask. She didn't answer.

Moonshine turned his gaze on the man at the door. It took him only a few seconds to figure out who he was, and he glared at him darkly, pursing his lips. He kept a protective arm around Rose's shoulder.

"Rose, answer me," he said sharply, not even looking at Moonshine. Rose went halfway up the steps, not looking back.

He grabbed her hand, moving up to stand next to her. He only glared at her father, before turning to look down at her. "Come home with me."

Rose shook her head as her father opened the door fully and stepped onto the stoop. "Excuse me. Who are you, young man?"

His gaze went back to her father's. "Tyler McGowan." He made a point of not calling him 'sir.'

He stared at him for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to his daughter. "Rose, I'm not going to tell you again. Come back inside. Very rude of you to leave your grandmother and me in the house to come and cavort with some hooligan, very rude indeed. I thought I raised you better than that."

Moonshine fisted his hand at his side, his other hand still holding her hand. "Rosie. Come on. Let's go."

Rose finally turned toward Moonshine, no more tears in her eyes. Just fear. "Tyler, please," she said under her breath. "Just go. He'll only get angry if you stay, and I --" Rose's father cleared his throat loudly, stepping down a few steps. "Excuse me, I don't want to have to repeat myself again," he said sternly, taking Rose's upper arm.

His voice was low and dangerous when he spoke, but calm. "Take your hands off of her." He stepped up, moving to stand in front of him, Rose behind him. "Ya won't touch her so long as I'm around."

"Young man, I don't know who you think you are, but if you don't leave this property in the next thirty seconds, I will call the police," he said, his fists clenched at his sides. "No one tells me what I can and can't do when my daughter is concerned."

"Maybe somebody should have before ya ever had a chance to hurt 'er." He met his eyes, frowning meaningfully. "Come on Rosie. We're leavin'." He took her hand, leading her down the steps.

"Hey!" he yelled, walking a few steps down toward them. "You get back here!"
Rose took a deep breath before breaking into a run, pulling Tyler with her, her heart already racing.

He kept up with her easily, even moving faster and tugging her along at one point until they reached the House.
