“I think you should do it,” Sarah says after the sisters leave, and it’s just the three of us sipping the last of our wine and nibbling on the lemon bars that Mira made. “It takes a lot off your plate as they said.”

“But don’t let them bully you into it if you want to do it all yourself,” June adds. “I know you’ve had a vision in your mind for a long time for this, and you need to do what’s right for you.”

“Agreed,” Sarah says with a nod.

“I love the Three Sisters Restaurant,” I say slowly. “Like, love. The style, the smells, the menu, it’s all fantastic. And I like them a lot, too.”

“You’d want a really good contract drawn up,” June reminds me. “You can’t do something like this with a handshake.”

“Of course.” I nod and take a deep breath. “Let’s be honest, Mira is a hell of a lot better as a chef than I am.”

“You can still hire her as a contractor,” Sarah points out. “I don’t think either one is a bad idea. It’s just up to you to decide how you want to run your business.”

“She’s right,” June says.

“Thanks. I was hoping you guys would have a firm opinion one way or the other. This doesn’t help me.”

“At least you know we don’t hate one of the options,” June says.

“Yeah. I’ll sleep on it. June, I didn’t realize how far along you’d gotten out there already.”

“I have a good crew,” she says with a smile. “It might not be the fancy one that Wolfe has working down the hill, but we get the job done.”

“You have got to get over that,” I tell her.

“I’m not upset.”

Sarah and I both roll our eyes.

“I’m not.” June pouts for a second. “It’s just—”

“Nothing,” I interrupt. “It’s nothing, June. It’s his house, his property, and he’s not obligated to check with you on it. You’re so busy with the inn and other jobs you have all over town, him doing that actually took something off your plate.”

“You have to sleep sometime,” Sarah says softly. “You can’t do everything, even though you want to.”

June shrugs a shoulder. “Yeah, well, I am busy.”

“Exactly.”

“I started painting again,” Sarah announces with a satisfied grin.

“What? That’s awesome.”

“I got my studio set up in the extra bedroom, and I was up all night last night, painting with some pretty watercolors I picked up. It feels so damn good, you guys.”

“I’m so glad,” I say and reach out to take her hand. “You look like a huge weight has been lifted compared to the day you got here.”

“Are you kidding? I’m safe. For the first time in more than a decade, I feel totally safe. It’s the best feeling, and I have you guys to thank for that.”

“You have yourself to thank,” June says.

“For some of it,” she concedes. “But, honestly, if he hadn’t thrown me out, I don’t know if I would have left—even with the affairs. Because I was afraid. I hadn’t talked to you in so long, I didn’t know if I should come here.
