Kaylyn walked into the kitchen, glad to be on her feet again But it was the only thing good about this ht, Chance’s response to her confession about her feelings for Jaris devastated her Why had she expected Chance to act differently? He wasn’t from Destiny He didn’t understand Jaris wasn’t from Destiny either Would he understand? Probably not Hell, I don’t even kno he feels about me

Kaylyn closed her eyes, wondering if she should’ve kept quiet about her true feelings Had shefrom head to toe

I feel like a little girl who needs her mommy

She knew her iven the time difference between Hawaii and Colorado But her e over her common sense

I really want to talk to her

She got her cell and called her mom

“Kaylyn, are you okay?” The panic in her h loud and clear

“Physically, Mom, I couldn’t be better” She choked back her tears “But I’ apart”

“Kaylyn, I know Chance loves you”

“I know he does, too, but I’h Mom, I also love Jaris” She told her mother about what she’d said to Chance and how he’d reacted “So you see, I may lose them both and I haven’t even told Jaris how I feel about him”

“Sweetheart, love is a strong eirl I know you will handle this just fine You’re not going to lose Chance I pro time After you talk to Jaris, the three of you need to sit down together and go through everything That’s what I had to do with your dads You know they

were only casual friends e started dating Talk about being scared I would lose them both…I know exactly how you feel But you knohat I told the to be And you know, Kaylyn, we’ve been happy ever after”

“Oh, Moht about her two dads, orked hard in the oil fields of Alaska and were gone for months at a time But when they came home, they always swept her mother up in their ared into the light of day, all three of the to tell them what you told my dads”
