“Take it fro away never solves anything”

Vanessa Steele shifted her gaze fro in her doorway Sienna Bradford had been her best friend since grade school, but it bothered Vanessa that at tiht she knew her better than she knew herself Unfortunately, some times Sienna actually did

“I aruff tone could convince anyone that she wasn’t getting the hell out of Dodge because a certain man by the name of Cameron Cody was on his way to Charlotte, supposedly to spend so with her cousins

“Then please explain what you’re doing if you’re not running away”

Vanessa sighed and tossed aside the blouse she was about to pack “I’ for Jamaica because Cheyenne called and asked if I would house-sit while the builders are putting in her pool She hadn’t planned on having to go to Italy for an unscheduled photo shoot,” Vanessa said of her sister, an internationalat work and a vacation in Jamaica is just what I need”

Sienna arched a brow “And your leaving has nothing to do with Ca to town?”

Vanessa nervously averted her gaze “I wish I can say one has nothing to do with the other but that wouldn’t be true and you and I both know it Cheyenne’s phone call gaveit”

Sienna ca Vanessa to look at her “What are you afraid of, Van? Why do you feel so er toward one man?”

“You of all people knohy, Sienna You knohat Cameron tried to do to my family’s business”

“Yes, but that was three years ago And if your cousins have gotten over it and consider him a friend, why can’t you?”

“I’ll never consider that man a friend,” Vanessa snapped

“Then maybe you need to wonder why,” Sienna replied smoothly “There has to be a reason for your intense dislike of him”
