Hours after Mark left, Kelly put the last of the pot roast in the fridge and grabbed a dish towel to wipe down the stove. Her big brother was a piece of work, she thought with a smirk as she sprayed cleaner over a caked-on spill. After talking with him for three hours, Kelly was sure there was hope for him and Essence. Mark might not have realized it yet, but she could tell—he was madly in love with Essence Monroe.

She chuckled as she rinsed the towel and draped it over the faucet. It was so obvious. She knew her brother better than anyone could always read those gold tones in his eyes, shifting to bronze whenever something weighed heavy on his mind. Lately, those eyes had been shifting a lot. It was only a matter of time before he figured it out for himself.

Finally, a woman had come along who could teach Mark how to love again. Kelly never thought she’d see the day. After that witch, Carmen shattered his heart into a million pieces, she figured he’d stay shut down forever. But here was Essence, working her magic without even trying. And she was the one who introduced them in the first place and was claiming credit for it all.

Essence was the easy part. When Kelly saw her at the mall, she could tell Essence’s heart still belonged to Mark. How her face lit up at the mention of him said it all. Kelly could already picture it—the two of them together with Tyler, a real family.

Humming, Kelly flipped off the kitchen light and entered the living room to catch the evening news. The twinkling Christmas tree lights in the corner cast a warm glow over the room, making everything feel cozy. She grabbed the remote and settled between a few lime-green pillows on the couch, kicking off her house shoes and curling her legs beneath her. Laying her head down, she sighed with contentment. It had been a long week of Christmas parties with her students, and now she had two weeks of quiet time ahead. Family time, which she always cherished.

Family meant everything to her. They were her constant, the source of love and support she could always rely on. That was something no man had ever given her. Every relationship she’d tried was one disappointment after another. She wasn’t lying when she told Mark she had her own issues with love.

Her eyes wandered to the abstract painting on the wall, a gift from her last boyfriend, Lance Lewis. She frowned at the memory. Lance had said he respected her decision to save herself for marriage, but deep down, he didn’t get it. After months of wining and dining, hoping she’d change her mind, he eventually moved on. Like so many others—she was more interested in what they could take than who she was.

Nevertheless, she still believed good men were out there. Men who would appreciate her values. She hadn’t found one yet and wasn’t about to look.
