“Kate ... What are you doing here?”

I’d just finished taking a shower and was drying my hair when Kate showed up at my apartment completely unannounced. Of course, while I was still trying to put myself together, Kate looked like she’d just stepped out of some fashion magazine. With a flick of her long blonde hair, she sauntered through the doorway and into the kitchen as she answered, “I told you Eric had a meeting this morning.”

“I remember. I also remember you saying you were going to call.”

“I was, but I knew you would be here.” She pursed her lips with a slight eyeroll. “It’s not like you have anywhere else to go.”

“Seriously?” She’d been there all of two seconds, and I was already annoyed with her. “You have no idea what I have going on in my life.”

“Oh, give me a break. You know what I meant.” She walked over to the coffee pot and helped herself to a cup as she said, “You don’t have work until later this afternoon, right?”

“Yeah, but ...” I started, then realized I was wasting my breath. I followed Kate over to the table, and as we sat down, I smiled as I remembered what had taken place there an hour earlier. “So, how are things with Mom and Dad?”

“They’re trying their best to adjust to me being gone, but they adore Eric, especially Mom. She just goes on and on about how lucky I am to have found such a great guy.” She took a sip of her coffee, then said, “I have to wonder what she’d think of Rafe.”

“What exactly is that supposed to mean?”

“Come on, Marlie. You know exactly what I’m talking about. The guy is hot and all kinds of swoon-worthy, but that’s really all you can say about him. He’s a biker with no education, and his family isn’t much better. His dad is a mechanic for God’s sake.” When she saw my expression, she reached over and placed her hand on mine. “I don’t mean to sound harsh, Sis. It’s just...you can do a lot better than that guy.”

Until then, I hadn’t really thought about the conversation Rafe had with her at the club. I could only imagine how rude and pompous Kate must’ve been with him, which made me instantly regret ever leaving him alone with her. I pulled my hand away from hers as I snapped, “Not that it matters to you, but I happen to think Rafe is wonderful and feel lucky to have him in my life.”

“You don’t have to get all defensive about it, Marlie. It’s not like you’re married to the guy.” She cut her eyes as she reached for her coffee. “You have time to find someone else, but the longer you wait, the harder it will be.”

“I have no intention of finding someone else, Kate.”

“Why not?” Her brows furrowed as she scoffed, “Are you in love with him or something?”

“And what if I am?”

“I don’t know...I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
