“I think you’re missing a golden opportunity,” Leigh’s sister-in-law Megan said as she took the rolls out of the oven. “If you like Jared, you should let him know.”

“I don’t like Jared. Not in the way you mean.”

Emma laughed. “Please. I saw the way you acted around him the last time he was in town. You more than like him.” She grinned at Erin and Megan. “Do you think there will be another wedding soon?”

Leigh snorted. “As if.”

These women were demented. Leigh wouldn’t have come to dinner with her family tonight if she’d known they were going to act this way.

Not that they ever behaved themselves. This was the Barrett clan. Even the ladies who were Barretts by marriage seemed to be developing ornery streaks.

Erin still had a golden-peachy tan from her honeymoon, so Leigh wasn’t a bit surprised when she said, “You can’t stop love.”

Leigh groaned. “From this moment on, no more talk about love and marriage, or I’m leaving, got it?”

All three of her sisters-in-law looked at her for a moment. Then they smiled. Sweet, smug, annoying as-all-get-out smiles.

“Fine,” Megan said. “We won’t discuss love or marriage.”

“Can we still talk about Jared?” Emma asked. “I mean you keep telling us you have no intention of falling in love with him, and you’ll never want to marry him, right? So it’s still okay to talk about him, isn’t it?”

Before Leigh could answer, Trent, the youngest Barrett brother and Erin’s husband, entered the kitchen. “What are you ladies talking about?”

“We’re not talking about love or marriage,” Erin told Trent, leaning up and kissing him. “And we’re not sure yet whether we can talk about Jared, either.”

Trent grinned. “I’m lost. I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about, or rather not talking about, but Chase wanted me to let you know the steaks will be ready in a couple of minutes.”

On his way out the door to the patio, he grabbed one of the rolls in the bowl near Leigh. “Oh, even if it’s not okay to talk about Jared, I sure hope it’s okay to talk to him since he’s joining us for dinner.”

Leigh shook her head. She’d planned for this possibility. Since Sunday dinner with her family was a tradition, she knew there was a chance Jared would try to crash it. So she’d made certain he would be busy. “No. No, he isn’t. I made certain he couldn’t come.”

Megan moved forward and gave her a questioning look. “How?”

“He has a date tonight.”

Now Emma walked over to stand by her. “How do you know that?”

“Because I set it up. I’m helping Jared find dates.”

Trent laughed. “Well, you’re not doing a very good job, because the lady you set him up with called this afternoon and said she couldn’t make it. Something about one of her ex-husbands stopping by unexpectedly.”

Now Erin joined the group. “One of her ex-husbands? Leigh, how many times has the woman been married?”

Leigh sighed. Sheesh. “I don’t know. Two or three times, I guess.”

“Which is it? Two or three?” Erin asked.
