Anthony paced back and forth across the floor like a caged cougar. His jaw was rigid, and a vein protruded from the center of his forehead. He stopped and glared at Samantha, who was sitting on the couch, cautiously watching him. “Dani simply can’t stay here!” Anthony had arrived home about an hour after she and Dani, which was great, because it gave Samantha plenty of time to get Dani settled in the guestroom. Hopefully, she was asleep and not hearing this conversation.

“Why not?”

“This is supposed to be our time to get to know each other.”

It took an almost superhuman effort to keep the anger out of her voice. “I don’t understand why you’re getting so bent out of shape about this. You’re never here anyway.”

He ran his hands through his hair. “That’s not fair. I’m working. Trying to provide a living for us.”

That was always his excuse, and it was getting old. He already had more money than most people made in a lifetime. But it would never be enough for him. She stood and looked him in the eye. “Dani’s my sister. And I want her here. We have an extra bedroom, and she can keep me company while you’re at work. I don’t see what the problem is.” She stared him down, her jaw clenched. “When you marry me, you’ll also be marrying my family. If that’s something you don’t feel comfortable with, then we need to get it out in the open right now.”

When she saw the blessed hesitation creep into his eyes, she knew she’d won. “Fine,” he grumbled. “But I won’t have her destroying the place.”

Anthony’s idea of destroying the place was dishes left in the sink or a banana peel in the trashcan. In a small way, she felt sorry for Anthony. He was so consumed with insignificant details. At any rate, while she was willing to sacrifice her own comfort and well-being to appease Anthony’s petty whims, she was not willing to throw Dani to the curb. Dani was her responsibility. And Anthony would have to come to terms with that.

She touched his arm. “Look, I’ll work this out. You won’t even know she’s here.”

His features relaxed a fraction. “Okay, but I’ll hold you to that.” He looked at her naked ring finger, and the corners of his lips turned down. “I was sure the ring would come today.”

The ring! She forgot all about it. There was no way she could admit it had been delivered to Liam by mistake and that she refused to accept it when he tried to give it to her.

“I need to check the tracking number to see what’s going on.”

She nodded, making a mental note to dart next door and retrieve the package the following morning. Then she remembered she was attending the sunrise service at the resort. Anthony normally slept in on Sundays, but she needed to handle the situation so as not to arouse his suspicion. Then again, if Anthony really had hired a man to follow her, all was lost anyway.
