have to do with anything?” Mel asked.
    Sara broke away from her musings. “No, all is not well. I think I’m falling in love with Reese too. This is my brother-in-law we’re talking about. Isn’t that sick? I truly hate my mother for choosing to be with two men and now I want the exact same thing. I put Cade through hell. I made him miserable until he swore he wouldn’t push me into a threesome and now it’s what I want.”
    â€œJust tell him what you told me,” Mel said softly. “I’m sure he’ll understand.”
    â€œHe’s been through so much these past few weeks. I know I should be honest with him, but I’m too nervous. Things were a lot simpler before Cade fell. Now Reese is constantly around helping out. I adore him, but every time I see him I want to jump his bones. I want both men.” She stood up and paced the small office. “I can’t go on this way. I’m downright bitchy to Reese, and Cade is always asking what’s wrong. I keep sidestepping the issue. He’s been patient with me so far, but I know it’s not going to last for long.” She sat back down. “It’s been twenty-one years since my mom left. Cade suggested that I ask Aunt Helen if she knows where mom is and find out firsthand why she left instead of listening to all of the gossip.”
    â€œSounds like good advice to me. Did you ask your aunt?”
    â€œYeah. She claims she doesn’t know, but Cade’s convinced she’s lying. Cade wouldn’t have a problem finding my mom if I asked him to. It’d just be quicker if Aunt Helen told me.”
    â€œCade’s right,” Mel replied. “Sometimes it’s best to listen to the other side of the story, although I can’t imagine a mother wanting to abandon her child.” Mel blew out a breath. “As for you, you need to stop trying so hard to please everyone else and focus on doing what you want to do. Talk to Cade about your feelings for Reese.” She paused for a moment. “Would this be a one-time thing?”
    Sara sighed. “That’s just it. I don’t really know. I want to be with both of them, but for more than a day.” Her cheeks flushed and she covered her face with her hands. “My aunt would kill me if she found out. She wasn’t happy at all when I didn’t listen to her advice and married Cade. She said I’d become his and Reese’s plaything before the year was out and then they’d go sniffing for someone else because it was in their nature. She was that way with any boy who came around the house while I was growing up. It’s almost as if she didn’t want me to be happy. Dad never approved of any of the guys I dated, but what father believes any man is perfect for his little girl?”
    Melanie grabbed Sara’s hands and pulled them away from her face. “Stop it. Now, you listen to me. Your aunt may have different beliefs than you, but that doesn’t mean you have to follow her rule. I didn’t know your dad so I can’t comment on whether he was being too overprotective or not, but if you’re asking for my honest opinion, your aunt seems to be very controlling toward you. She calls here a lot to see if you’re at work. The girls also told me that if you’re not behind the counter when she comes in she insists that they tell her where you are.”
    Sara’s eyes widened with shock. “I didn’t realize that. They should have mentioned something. I’m so sorry, Mel.”
    Mel waved away the apology. “That’s okay. We’re all like family here. If she gets too annoying I’ll have to tell her only to call if there’s an emergency. But that’s not the issue right now. Your happiness is. Life’s too short to be afraid to go after what you want. Believe me, I know. I allowed Mike to keep me down by crawling into a shell. He constantly told me that it
