Chapter Twenty-Three

Sierra looked around Amy’s immaculate house and smiled. Things looked back to normal in the house even if she and Rex hadn’t set their relationship back on the path to bliss. Tonight, she’d give them a chance to talk in peace without their two little ones listening.

“Emma. P.J. Aunt Sierra is here to take you over to Aunt Heather’s for dinner.”

Sierra loved that she got to spend more time with her sisters and the kids. She’d missed this.

“What time will Rex be home?”

“Half an hour if he isn’t still avoiding me.”

Sierra brushed her hand up Amy’s arm and squeezed her shoulder. “You two will work this out.”

Amy huffed out her frustration. “I told the kids’ teachers I can only come in two days a week now. I was home today for the first time and didn’t know what the hell to do with myself.”

“Did you go for a walk? Read a book?”

Amy rolled her eyes. “I reorganized the hall closet.”

“You’ll get better at doing nothing. Maybe you’ll find a hobby or something that you like.”

“Easy for you to say. Everything comes easy to you. I always feel like I should be doing something.”

“You need to learn to give yourself a break. Instead of organizing closets, meet Rex for lunch. Spend some time reconnecting with him.”

“Like you’ve reconnected with Mason.” A knowing twinkle brightened Amy’s eyes.

“It seems it was a long time coming. Like it was inevitable. I can’t explain it.” Sierra checked to be sure Danny and Oliver were still upstairs with their cousins and out of earshot. “He told me he loves me.”

Amy did the eye roll thing again. “Of course he loves you. He loved you when you were dating David.”

That stopped Sierra’s heart and set off an alarm. Mason told her he had had feelings for her for a long time, but what did Amy know about it? “What are you talking about? We were friends, but there wasn’t anything romantic going on.”

Amy held her hands up and let them drop. “I guess it doesn’t matter if you know now, but Mason told me one night before you got engaged to David when we were all out that he wanted to tell you how he felt about you.”

Sierra put the pieces together. “And you told him not to say anything.”

Amy shrugged. “You were with David.”

Anger flashed inside her. She couldn’t believe Amy could be so callous about this. “Was this before or after I confided in you that I wasn’t sure a life with David was what I wanted?”

“Before. After. What does it matter now?” The question sounded like a plea for Sierra to drop it.

Maybe it didn’t matter now. Not after all this time. But still, she needed to know. “When did you tell him I didn’t have feelings for him?”

“It wasn’t exactly like that. I just never told you he had feelings for you and made it clear that you and David were solid.”

Her stomach dropped. “But you knew differently. I told you David and me, we were fine, but I felt like the relationship wasn’t as strong as it should be.
