TJ knew he’d be able to accomplish more if he could persuade Marly and Sarah to trust Veronica, but that wasn’t going to happen with Veronica in the room.

He knew Sarah pretty well. She was his sister after all, and even though she was still a little steamed at him for changing his last name and breaking contact when he was in trouble, he knew he could reason with her. He’d had good practice since they’d reconnected, especially when they’d discovered they’d both been associated with the cooking show, even though neither of them had known the other was there.

Sarah had been too busy competing on the show to pay any attention to the kitchen staff, and TJ had focused on not being noticed in the back. He hadn’t even paid attention to the chefs in the front kitchen. They had no reason to cross paths. It had taken quite a bit of persuasion to get her to believe he’d had no idea she was there.

“Okay, I have no idea what the drama is between you guys and Veronica, but hear me out. I’m confident that she isn’t trying to sabotage the wedding.” TJ glanced from Sarah to Marly.

“You don’t know how devious she can be,” Marly said. “Do you think it’s a coincidence she shows up here working with you?”

TJ frowned. “What do you mean?”

“She has it out for Sarah too, and you’re Sarah’s brother.”

TJ wondered about that. He’d never mentioned he knew Marly or Sarah. It never occurred to him because he didn’t know Marly that well. He’d seen no indication from Veronica that she knew he was related to Sarah. “How would she know that? I don’t have the same last name, and besides, I know how she ended up here. Same way I did: Gertie.”

Sarah scowled, but Marly’s face softened. “Gertie does have a soft spot for people who might have chosen the wrong path. And she’s a good judge of character. She’s been wonderful to my mother.” She touched Sarah’s arm. “Maybe we should listen to TJ. I mean, I did some mean things myself. Maybe Veronica had a reason.”

TJ nodded. “Maybe she did some stupid things before, but that’s in the past. She’s totally committed to kicking ass in this job. She spent hours on the proposal. You need to give her a break. People do change. Look at me. What if Gertie hadn’t given me this job because she didn’t believe I’d changed and would go back to being a drug addict?”

Sarah sighed. “I guess you’re right. At least about people making stupid mistakes. I lied to get into the chef contest. I mean, sure, I did it for a good reason, which was to send you to rehab. But it was still a lie. And Marly, you did the same. I mean, it was to save your mom, but it was still a lie.”

Marly nodded silently as she stared down at the table. Sarah looked at TJ and shrugged.

“Well, maybe there’s a reason Veronica did what she did in the past too,” TJ said, sensing that there was.
