Kollette paced the floor. She had no idea why Ethan wanted to see her so badly, but she knew it wasn’t a good sign. She’d had a stressful week and adding more to it wasn’t what she was looking for. But if he had gone through all this effort to find her, she might as well listen to what he had to say.

She looked at her watch. He was supposed to be there almost an hour ago. What could be keeping him? Kollette was tempted to call and see if maybe he’d changed his mind. It actually would be a relief if he had, because her nerves were getting the better of her. Since when did she get jittery?

Maybe when I stopped being able to predict what was coming next.

Somehow her life had just been turned upside down in only two weeks. Nothing was the same and she had realized it as soon as she’d returned to the hotel. Something was different and it wasn’t the building. It was her and she couldn’t figure out how to get back to who she was before her trip.

It was most evident when she met with her father. Granted he was thrilled to see her back home safe and sound, but it didn’t take long for him to dive right into business mode. She wasn’t as quick to do so and he noticed it too. So when he started asking a bunch of questions about the Potters place, she assumed it was because he was trying to figure out what had changed her. But the more she had spoken about it, the deeper she got into the details, she noticed a change in her father as well. He wasn’t seeing the Potters as anything more than his next huge expansion.

She practically begged and pleaded with him to drop it. That they didn’t need the Potters place. That she could go and find someplace more suitable for his luxury rustic lodge. Kollette normally would’ve been so supportive of whatever decision her father made. Not this one. She tried explaining to him what that place meant to the Potters. She even told him how Mabel spent hours teaching her how to cook. But it fell on deaf ears. His answer was he’d make it worth it to them to leave. Eventually she had to stop talking, because all it seemed to do was make him want it even more.

Kollette loved her father, but when Ralph Sommers had his mind set on something, there was no reasoning with him. Even if she had the type of money it would take to block his new conquest, she couldn’t go against her father. Kollette was stuck in the middle, between people she cared about, and no matter what, someone was going to lose. She couldn’t be part of what he was about to do.

Even now, she couldn’t believe what she’d done. It had been a snap decision. She walked into her father’s office and handed him her resignation.
