Shelley rushed into the diner around three in the afternoon to make pies for dessert.

Farming chores, it seemed, were never done, but they’d kept her mind off Alan. If he

didn’t want to be with her, she couldn’t change his mind. She was tired of throwing

herself at him and looking like an idiot. Even though she didn’t believe for one minute

his uncontrollable temper would ever harm her, she appreciated his concern.

She couldn’t control the diner sale, either. For the first time since he’d arrived, she

looked forward to watching him leave. Back to the life that was more important to him

than her and the pack. Letting him go felt better than a breath of fresh breeze on a

humid afternoon.

Barbara cornered her before she reached the kitchen. “Good news. Scabs has decided

not to sell the place to the Starwood pack.”

“Please don’t call him that.” Shelley’s heart fluttered along with her hands. “Never

mind. What is he going to do with it? Is he here?”

“He’s going to sell it to the pack, but the old man requested we wait until he passes

away.”

“That’s wonderful!” Shelley exclaimed. “I want to be one of the owners. We could

redecorate.”

Maybe she’d written Alan off too soon, but she refused to get her hopes up about a

relationship. He’d shot her down too many times. She’d settle for his helping the pack,

which was a lot more important than her selfish desires.

“You read my mind, girlfriend.” Barbara flung her hand toward the faded, red-

checked curtains and dark paneling that looked like something from the 70s. “Men have

no taste. This place needs a serious renovation.”

When Shelley took a step toward the kitchen, Barbara handed her a sealed envelope.

“Oh, and he asked me to give you this.”

Having no idea what it could be, she broke a nail ripping into it. The small envelope,

made of heavy paper, reminded her of the ill-fated prom invitation and Barbara’s role in

it.

Was Alan paying her back for it? Did he keep pushing her away because he could

never forgive her for that miserable night?

Her fingers trembled as she pulled out the card.
