The following days feel heavier than normal. After the incident with Andrew, Luke has assured me that they have a pair of agents on the Crimson Oyster, and that the BP are still running their operation there. It’s reassuring, albeit in a sinister way. It means my sister is still nearby, and that I still have a chance to help her escape the potential life-threatening situation that she’s in.

Having wrapped up a home remodeling project ahead of schedule, I welcome the cash bonus I receive for an early completion and drive into North Platte. The kids need new bathing suits for the summer, and I want to buy myself a few things as well.

North Platte is quite busy for a Friday afternoon, and the mall is packed. I push through the swelling crowd, focused on which shops I need to hit before I head back home. Once I’ve got a shopping bag loaded with goodies for my babies, I shift my focus on myself. Momma’s got to splurge, and she knows just the place to do that. There’s a French lingerie store next to my favorite café, so I stop outside for a moment, trying to decide whether I’ll have that magnificent vanilla latte before or after I buy some new lace to delight my men with.

Laughter and conversation flow around me. As I think about how these people have lives, things to do, friends to see, and family to take care of, I can’t help but think that my sister could be one of them. I can only wish that she’ll want freedom badly enough to reach out, to let me help her. I could save her so much trouble, spare her of so much heartache and misery.

“Well, if it isn’t little Miss Madison,” a familiar voice pulls me out of my thoughts.

I’m about to be grateful for the interruption, until I spin on my heels and recognize the source. Bill and Elizabeth Cassidy stand before me, arm in arm and wearing two of the most arrogant smirks I’ve ever had the misfortune to see. Clad in matching white shirts and jeans paired with expensive-looking but not flashy jewelry, the Cassidy’s look me up and down. I can almost hear the judgment being passed in their heads. Unworthy. Damaged goods. Nosy. Troublemaker. I’ve heard them all before. They don’t like me, and I don’t like them. Yet something feels different this time.

There’s an ominous undertone that hasn’t slipped past me. “Mr. Cassidy. Mrs. Cassidy,” I say, my tone flat despite my racing heart.

“What brings you to our side of town?” Elizabeth asks.

“Your side of town? Don’t you live north of here?”

“Would you look at that, Bill? The kitten is growing claws,” Elizabeth sneers.

Disgust gathers in my stomach. It’s hard to believe that these two gave the world the incredible men that are Kellan and Fallon.

“If you don’t mind, I’ve got a few more errands to run,” I say, moving toward the lingerie store.

“Hold on,” Bill replies. “Where’s the rush?
