What men desire is a virgin who is a whore.

~ Edward Dahlbert

It’s funny how we never stop to consider how life truly goes on around us. When we take a day off, stay wrapped in the warm sheets, life still rolls on. My boss Jackie is a prime example of this, sitting in California enjoying room service, while I run her company.

I hadn’t heard a single word from her since she left; no email, no messaging, nothing. Even though everything was running well, I’ve left her a message assuring her of this. While I’d planned on working this weekend, anticipating her unannounced return, those plans were canceled by a single phone call.

Priscilla Morgan phoned very early this morning, letting me know an invitation to attend Chase’s welcome home party, would be arriving later today. Heidi was also included, but I already knew she had a test to take on campus. Priscilla agreed a test was important, but also left no room for not showing up. Evidently, wanting to impress your boss doesn’t score high enough for her acceptable excuses chart. Would I ever have the self-fortitude to hand out orders like she did?

Claire had called me shortly after, too late to deliver her warning to expect the call. “Dylan told me Harmony was invited, only because Priscilla doesn’t want any drama. She made him and Austin swear to keep their mouths shut.”

Austin hadn’t shared with me his dislike for his brother’s girlfriend, so Claire told me the story of meeting the family for the first time. “She seriously wore a mini skirt to meet the parents?” I recalled the length of a few of my momma’s skirts. Ones she wore when it was time to find a new paycheck; a term she used for the man who would pay her bills for a little while. She’d dress the way they wanted, until she got bored of being told what to do, and then she went searching again.

“Apparently, they suspect her of being dishonest with Chase. I’m not sure what about since Dylan doesn’t want to involve me.” Now this got my attention. While Dylan has been known to be crass, he was also known to be an excellent judge of character. If he’s questioning something Harmony is doing, then I agreed blindly.

I’m not sure what I expected when Claire and I pulled up outside of the Morgan home. I knew from living here, Mount Pleasant was a more affluent section of Charleston. But nothing I could have dreamed up, would have prepared me for the real thing. I’ve never been to Italy, so I had nothing to compare, other than what little I’d seen in pictures and movies. But, I wouldn’t have been surprised if the Morgans had a Tuscan villa shipped over. With sand colored exterior walls, a terra-cotta roof, and four majestic columns reminding you this is the south; the house seemed to go on and on, with pristine landscaping, bordering the richness of the area.

I imagined having
