Chapter Fifteen

Saturday nights at the Hart homestead used to mean family time, game nights, and yes, the usual gossip and catfights, but ever since the She Wouldn’t Dare reality show started airing, it had become a warzone.

“Shut it off,” Jenna shouted, grabbing the remote from her brother, Dale. “I don’t want to watch it.”

“But we boys haven’t seen it,” Dale retorted. He jumped to the TV and pushed the power button manually.

Jenna switched it off again. “Larry’s ex is on the show, and I don’t want to relive it.”

“His ex?” Grady lit up from the corner of the room where he was reading a well-thumbed paperback. “Is that why you’ve been avoiding him the past few days?”

“It wasn’t my fault. I had no idea she was going to show up.” Jenna defended herself. “And I’m not avoiding Larry. I had lunch with him just yesterday.”

“Then why isn’t he here?” Cait wandered into the living room from the kitchen and set a large bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. “Is he off today?”

“He is,” Connor said. “But he’s been strangely quiet all week. Hasn’t said anything to me all week.”

“Not talking to you, either?” Brian, Cait’s husband, looked around the room. “Dad, have you spoken to him?”

“Can’t say that I have.” Their father put his newspaper down and waved Jenna to the couch next to him. “Come sit here with me and tell me what’s going on.”

“Uh oh,” Cait observed. “Looks like Jenna’s in the hot seat.”

“I did nothing wrong.” Jenna stood her ground. “I called Larry and he agreed to go for it. He said Shelly doesn’t affect him one bit, and that he’s happy for me to win the Tesla.”

“That’s because he’s completely under your thumb,” Grady said. “I spoke to him and he seemed sad.”

Grady would exaggerate everything due to his own issues. He could care less about Larry, unlike the rest of her family who were all looking at her as if she’d done something dastardly to hurt him.

“You guys are making too big a deal out of this.” Jenna whipped her head from one family member to the other. “Larry told me Shelly is nothing. He even laughed when I showed him the dress design I’m making for her.”

“If it’s not a big deal, why can’t we watch the episode?” Dale took the TV remote from Jenna and switched it on.

“I’m not watching it again,” Cait said, hooking Jenna by the arm. “Let’s go to the kitchen to strategize for the next show.”

Melisa and their mother were in the middle of putting several enchilada casseroles into the oven, while Nadine chopped and sliced vegetables for a salad.

“I wonder if we should whip up some margaritas for everyone,” Mom said with a pointed look at Cait.

Jenna rolled her eyes and shot Cait and Melisa a sympathetic look. Their mother meant well, and she was overly caring and concerned, but sometimes, she just didn’t understand why her daughters would want a little privacy.

“Well, Jenna, what do you
