Chapter Eleven

Three hours later, Carol had convinced herself that she was overreacting. Both Jaxon and Sloan had tried to talk to her, but she rebuffed them as gently as she could each time. She didn’t want to hear any excuses, and eventually they stopped trying to corner her. They might think they wanted to share her, but that wasn’t a realistic idea, especially since their brother obviously wasn’t interested. They would find some tiny fashion model to pass around, and then they could all live happily ever after.

Sitting curled up in a swing chair, she looked out over the large yard while sipping white sangria out of a fishbowl for a goblet. Tiki torches lined the edge of the large deck, keeping the bugs at bay, creating flickering shadows against the backdrop of the forest. There were still a few people milling around, but most everyone had gone home by now. Jaxon left an hour earlier, but not without curling her toes with another incredible kiss and a promise to call tomorrow. She glanced over at the bonfire they’d started earlier. Sloan stood out in the yard talking to Vencel and Gaspar, but she had no trouble knowing him by his silhouette.

“I don’t think I have ever been this relaxed.” She sipped at her drink and then picked a large frozen red grape out of her glass and popped it into her mouth with a dramatic sigh. Both Mai and River laughed in response. River lay sprawled out on a lounger, and Mai sat curled up on another wicker swing chair. A small table sat in the middle of them with their second pitcher of sangria perched on it.

“See, that is the fresh air getting to you.” Mai waved her glass, and a bit of sangria sloshed over the edge and on to her hand. “Soon you will wonder why anyone would want to live in a smoggy city—all the crowds, dirt, and crime.”

“I don’t think so. I have to go back so I can reopen my animal shelter.”

“Right after she kicks her ex in the nuts for stealing all her money.” River lifted her glass in a toast, and all three of them took a sip, then dissolved into giggles.

“Is that what happened? Do the police have any idea where to look for him?”

“I don’t know. I hope so, but even if they do find him, I doubt I’ll ever see my money back. He could be on the other side of the world by now for all I know. Ann offered to feed him to the wolves, but I couldn’t in good conscience risk Gordon getting indigestion.”

Carol didn’t understand Mai’s shocked look and for a moment thought that River had told her something Mai didn’t want shared. River waved her hand in the air. “It’s okay, Mai. Carol knows all about us.”

This time Mai’s shocked look turned in her direction. “Did I miss a memo because I’m starting to think I was the only person who didn’t know
