“Wow,” Cassie whispered then shook her head. “Okay that’s a real bonehead thing to say but WOW. I mean, look at you Cassie, you’re drop dead gorgeous. That must have practically killed him.”

“Cami!” I squealed and threw the couch pillow at her head.

She dodged it and laughed. My feelings for Curtis were complicated and intense. But there was more at stake. As the head of his family, Curtis had a level of responsibility I couldn’t imagine. Plus I was almost afraid to do anything that risked the bond we now shared. He’d grown so very important to me in a short amount of time. I couldn’t bear to lose him.

“Curtis and Brecken are practically honorary members of the family now,” I told Cami. “It’s possible we might just be destined to be great friends. And maybe we’re better off that way.”

My sister’s mouth twisted into a smirk. “You don’t really believe that.”

I refused to argue or confirm her statement.

But she was right. I didn’t believe that at all.
