Cade takes Kaylie to hang out with his friends. Were you worried on her behalf?

Yes, very much so.

Yes. At this point we didn't know anything about Cade. I worried that he was using Kaylie. His friends are not good people.

I was terrified for her until I got a better sense and feel for Cade. She could have been at serious risk.

Oh, and I agree with you, Sharon. Those friends were bad news.

I was worried. It was easy to tell that these guys were no good. At least Cade decided to move away from being friends with them for Kaylie's sake.

Robin, I think he moved away from them not only for Kaylie but for himself. He wasn’t liking them very much.

I agree; he began to see the light and to choose more healthy relationships rather than hanging out with that crowd.

True. He was smart enough to see they were bad news.

I was scared to death of what might happen. I was really glad the author didn't go there. Cade is a good guy, but before Truman arrived even he was starting to drink with his "friends". I was really worried at that point that he might not or would not be able to protect her.

Yeah, it looked bad there for a minute. I read a similar scene in a book recently... and it didn't end so well. Glad Truman got there but I think Cade is a stand up guy and would have protected Kaylie if his friends got out of line.

Absolutely. She didn't like them and I felt she had pretty good instincts. I think had she insisted on going home I think Cade would have taken her home.
