Chapter 17

Thirty minutes later, they sat on the couch together in front of the television set watching the weather report and updates on the aftermath of the hurricane. Britt shoveled eggs and bacon into his mouth like there was no tomorrow.

Melody stabbed a fork into the last of her eggs, amused. He was like a big, adventurous kid sometimes. There were so many aspects of this man that intrigued her and mesmerized her, but part of her held back. It was almost too good to be true that he desired her as much as she longed for him.

Standing up, Melody said, “Thanks for breakfast. I’m going to go upstairs and get ready and put a bag together for the day. We have no idea what we’re going to find in downtown New Orleans.”

Britt stood up and stretched. “Good thinking. Let’s get on the road as soon as we can since it’s almost a two-hour drive into the city. We can talk and plan on the way. Even though I’d love to stay here and spend the day with you cozy on the couch, or taking a walk together. I’ll bet it’s very nice kissing under an oak tree, although I’ve never tried it.”

Heat rose up Melody’s face. Kissing Britt on the couch or under a tree—or in the back seat of one of his cars would be a perfect way to spend the day, but she had to banish those thoughts.

Slowly, she backed out of the basement sitting room, trying not to be tempted as she wrestled with herself over feeling disloyal to Crystal. Crystal was still an issue.

When Melody reached her room and turned on the shower, she pondered the complications arising from her and Britt’s feelings. Because Crystal was her sister and she would raise heck if she knew that Britt had kissed her and called her adorable. Crystal would probably never speak to her again.

Of course, they rarely spoke that often. Her fashion plate sister’s life was filled with auditions and lunch meetings, photo shoots and clothes shopping. Melody called her sister in Chicago three times as much, and, in fact had visited Avery’s family and her nephew and niece only a few months ago. Avery had her hands full, too, with her bridal gown business and the children.

But she shouldn’t get involved with her sister’s ex-boyfriend, period, Melody determined as she stepped out of the shower and dressed.

She wouldn’t be surprised if Crystal returned to New York still wearing that outrageous diamond on her left hand. Her sister wouldn’t be able to help herself. From there, the gossip could spread like wild fire. If Melody embarrassed Crystal that would spell doom to their relationship.

After examining the wound on her leg and putting on a smaller Band-Aid, Melody was glad to see it was healing well. Fingers crossed there wouldn’t be much of a scar.

She placed her few belongings into her backpack and then stepped into the hall. A peculiar clacking noise sounded from somewhere in the quiet house.
