Someone Like You (Night Riders)
“His lower lip quivered when he turned to Rafe. “Mama wanted that man to hurt me, didn’t she?”
Maria yearned to say something that would take that hurt and fear from his eyes, but he’d asked Rafe, the person who had most reason to give him the bitter truth.
“Nobody wants to hurt you,” Rafe told Luis. “Especially not your mother.”
“But she asked that man to take me away from you.”

She shouldn’t be surprised. She felt the same.
“Billy was a little drunk. When he heard her say how much she missed you and wanted to see you, he decided to kidnap you and take you to her.”
Luis looked like he was digesting that information.
“I know it was frightening, but it just shows how much your mother loves you. She would never have been so upset if she didn’t love you very much.”MoreLess
