EIGHT

Gabby knocked on Vanessa’s door and waited, holding a bakery box housing a chocolate cake so famous that people lined up for it. She’d been delayed by Slade and his insatiable need for sex. Not that she minded. Okay, she probably encouraged him more than anything. Still, it had made her late for dinner with Vanessa.

Vanessa opened the door with a wide grin. “I know what you did last night.”

Gabby blinked her eyes wide. “What?”

Vanessa laughed and motioned her inside. “I’m kidding. I finally found out that it was Slade who went to watch you dance last night. Dad made a point of telling me to make sure nobody went into that room with you guys.”

Heat crawled up Gabby’s face. She wasn’t used to people joking with her like that. Most that saw her dancing didn’t realize she still had the shyness that she’d grown up with as a big girl.

“Aw, don’t be embarrassed,” Vanessa said and led her into the kitchen. “He likes you. You like him. The rest isn’t a big deal.”

Gabby laughed and shook her head. “You sound like Charlie. Didn’t he say those same words to one of the other girls?”

“Sadly, yes. My dad’s personality is rubbing off on me.” Vanessa eyed the bakery box with a widening grin. “Want me to take that?”

“Oh! Yes. Please. I wasn’t sure what you had planned for dinner, but cake goes with everything, so that’s what I got.”

“Smart woman. And that has nothing to do with the fact that I’m in love with cake. And chocolate.” She put the box on the kitchen table and rushed to the stove. “I hope you like chili, rice, and salad.”

“Oh…” Gabby sighed. “That sounds really good. It smells delicious. It’s awesome someone knows how to cook.”

“You can’t cook?” Vanessa asked, after she’d put the lids back on the pots.

“I can eat, does that count?” She laughed. “No. Though to be fair, I haven’t really tried to learn. It’s just been one of those things I haven’t really had time for.”

Vanessa brought a pitcher of iced tea to the table. She’d already put some glasses there for them. “You’re always so worried about your brother.”

Gabby pursed her lips and nodded. “Yes. He’s been my responsibility since my parents died. I‘ve been like a second mother to him.”

“But you’re not his mother,” Vanessa said, patting Gabby’s hand. “You’re just his older sister. You are allowed to be happy and have a life. He’s a grown man. What he does at this point isn’t something you can control.”

She knew that. Deep down she did, but how could she turn her back on her only family? She’d never be able to live with herself if she didn’t try to help him. He needed her. She wouldn’t stop herself from having a life though. That was a new promise she’d made to herself the previous night. It was time to do whatever she needed to be happy.

“You seem a lot more quiet than most of the other dancers, which surprises me because you dance so wonderfully.
