THE NEXT DAY, Sam was looking forward to another great day with Jo when a knock sounded on his door. He sighed, loosening a tie he’d worn to a business meeting with the other resorts in the area, and walked to open it.

He wasn’t surprised when he saw his oldest son Scott there, leaning on the doorway with a serious look on his face. “Can I come in?”

“Of course,” he said, stepping back so Scott could enter. Scott was wearing a suit, as usual, looking like a spitting image of his old man, and was pacing back and forth in the spacious living room, putting a hand in his blond hair but saying nothing.

“What’s wrong, son?” Sam asked.

Scott just gave him a narrowed glare. “What do you think is wrong? She’s still here and you’re living in a little bubble with her. She’s our mother too. It’s driving us crazy.”

“I thought you all wanted to stay separate,” he said.

“Yes, but we wanted to stay updated. I mean…” Scott rifled his hands through his hair in frustration. “I guess I thought we could stay more separate than this, but all three of us have been really nervous ever since she came. I mean, what is she like? I was so young, I barely remember. And yet I remember her somewhat well.” He shook his head. “I don’t know. But if you’re going to keep her around, a part of me wants to know when I can meet her.”

Sam nodded, folding his arms as he leaned on the edge of a counter. “I know. She wants to see you too. I’ve just been selfishly keeping her to myself.”

“I know,” Scott said. “And it’s all right. I mean, I’d be the same with Mara. Heaven knows I never feel like I get enough time with her. But has she remembered anything yet?”

Sam shook his head. “Any time I’ve mentioned something, she’s passed out. There are some really firm blocks there. But I do know she was shot sometime after she left. Presumably that caused the amnesia, but I’m not sure. She’s been living on her own since then, a completely miserable life without knowing people who loved her even existed.”

“Damn,” Scott said, his voice hollow. “It almost makes it hard to stay mad at her.”

Sam nodded. “She’s been through enough. And I think, since you’re happy now, the best move for everyone is if we can try to forgive.”

“It sounds as if you already have,” Scott said doubtfully.

“I have,” Sam said. “There was nothing to forgive in my mind. If anything, you boys just need to forgive me for being too weak to keep her, and then too weak to handle it without involving the three of you.”

“That’s ridiculous,” Scott said, putting a hand up to rub his forehead. “You aren’t to blame.”

“I chose her as mate.”

“If it was anything like me choosing Mara, there wasn’t much choosing involved. I just knew. I’m assuming it was like that with Mom.”

“It was,” Sam said, warming slightly at hearing his son call Jo ‘Mom’.
