All Kaylee
saw was the polished woman standing in front of him. With her tight
jeans, knee high brown boots and purple sweater that matched her nails, she could have
been anyone.
    Except she was the only person that could
save Kaylee’s life. And that would probably put her in line with a
fairy godmother.
    “Kate’s brought Kaylee a special treat.”
    Dan figured Kate’s presence in Bozeman would
be enough to put a smile on his niece’s face. It had worked for his
sister. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen Anna looking
so relaxed. It wasn’t happiness exactly, but something so close
that it made the worry inside of him so much worse. If Kate left
Bozeman before the transplant, it
would be devastating for everyone.
    Kate shrugged her shoulders. “It’s not much
of a gift. I’m taking my makeup with me. Kaylee wanted a lipstick
to match her princess dress.”
    She glanced at his desk. Even though she
couldn’t see her file, he felt
guilty for prying into her past. “Don’t let me hold you up. Kaylee
will be waiting.”
    Anna stared at him. “If I didn’t know better,
I’d say you were trying to get rid of us.”
    He stared straight back. “If there’s another
serving of lasagna in the basket Kate’s carrying, I’m grateful. Now
go and see your daughter before I have to escort you out of
here.”
    “It’s just as well you’re my little brother,”
Anna said. “Your cute and adorable phase wore off a long time
ago.”
    He stood and took the basket out of Kate’s
hands. “Thank you and goodbye.”
    It didn’t surprise him that Kate made the
first move. She was halfway through the door before he’d put the
basket on his desk.
    Anna scowled at him. “The lasagna’s for tonight. Tom’s expecting you
tomorrow for a barbecue. Try not to be late.”
    “Yes, ma’am.” He leaned forward and kissed
his sister’s cheek. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    She gave him one last glare before heading
out of his office.
    He turned back to his computer and opened
Kate’s file. If she went back to her old habits, they’d all be in
trouble. And his sister would have more to worry about than his bad
manners and cooking skills.
     
    ***
    Kate sipped her mug of coffee. After they’d
left the hospital, Anna had brought her to a small café in town. It
was closed to everyone except a group of women who were organizing
a fashion show to raise money for Kaylee’s medical bills.
    Nicky and Emily were sisters who worked out
of the same building two stores down from the café. Nicky was a
management consultant and Emily designed most of the clothes in her
boutique.
    Emily opened a spreadsheet in front of her
and ran her finger down the columns. “We’ve got ten days before the
fashion show. Flavio will be here for a dress rehearsal next
Thursday. Have all of the designers sent in their outfits?”
    “The last one arrived this morning,” Nicky
said. “They’re all hanging in the storage room in the boutique.
Alex and Cody are going to give me a hand to take them across to
the Emerson Center on Wednesday.”
    “That’s good.” Emily pulled the spreadsheet
closer. “What about the catering?”
    “All under control.” Tess, the tall blonde
owner of the café, smiled. “The
Emerson Center was happy for me to provide the food as long as they
supplied the wine and juice. I’ve asked some of the girls from a
local high school to help waitress so we’re all ready.”
    Emily put a tick beside another box. “I
called Gracie this morning. She’s spoken with Flavio and they’ve
selected the music for the show. She’ll have it ready for the
rehearsal.”
    Anna refilled everyone’s coffee cups. “I’m
impressed. I didn’t think she’d have time to put the music
together, not with a new baby.”
    “Gracie could have given birth to triplets
and she still would have had the music ready in time,” Emily said.
“She’s a human dynamo on steroids.”
    Nicky smiled. “A five-foot-one human dynamo.
