“So then the guy asks me—no lie—to look at a wart on the back of his neck and tell him if it needed removing!” Brooke Quinn burst into laughter as she finished the anecdote.

Rachel, who was sitting across from her friend in the cute little Valley Ice Cream Parlor, sharing a chocolate peanut butter cup sundae, plopped her spoon back into the ice cream in disgust.

“That’s—that’s revolting! What did you do?”

“I told him the date was over and walked out. Left him with the check and the rest of my pot pie.”

“Oh, that’s a shame.” Rachel mock-frowned. “And Quinn’s does such great pot pies since your cousin hired that new chef.”

Brooke chuckled again. “Hired and got engaged to, I think you mean.” She scooped up another bite of sundae, but before she popped it into her mouth, she sighed. “At least some of my cousins are finding love. Soulmates is a great way to meet people, I admit, and I’m glad you told me about the site, but I guess I’m just a magnet for losers who only want a free medical diagnosis.”

“Well, you are Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman.”

Her friend glared. “Ha-ha,” she said around the bite of ice cream.

Rachel felt a little sorry for Brooke, but at least the other woman could laugh about it. And not all of her cousins were finding love. Andrew, after all, was one of her cousins, and Rachel knew for a fact the poor man wasn’t having any luck on the dating scene.

Because you sabotaged him.

This time she didn’t disagree with her subconscious. She was the reason he’d been so—so— What had he been? Disgusted? Horrified? Disg-orrified? Angry, that was for sure. Why was he so angry with Bob? She didn’t know—probably would never know—but she’d been the one to push him into that interview. That confrontation.

He’d had every right to call her out on her outrageous bargain, then storm off.

And what was even worse, now her boss knew she’d manipulated his own nephew. Granted, she’d done it because she’d thought it was in both Andrew’s and Bob’s best interests…but that didn’t make it right.

So now her boss was irritated with her, and he’d always been so pleased with her work. And she’d blown it with Andrew, so all week she’d been eaten up with guilt over her actions and anger at herself for losing a guy who could kiss like that.

Was it any wonder she was drowning her sorrows in ice cream?

She sighed and reached for her spoon again.

This stinks.

Across from her, Brooke groaned. “And the holidays are coming up, and I just know someone’s going to ask me how the dating scene is going. I’ve heard Grandma has been getting nosy when it comes to our love lives, and I don’t know how I feel about that. Thanksgiving is only a week away.”

Rachel raised her brow and gestured for her friend to continue, since her mouth was full.

Brooke poked her spoon into the chocolate fudge on top of the sundae. “The whole family gathers at the ranch, and the food is just amazing.
