Harper’s laughter carried past the office window, where she wiggled her fingers goodbye.
It wasn’t as though Cara was being irrational. It made perfect sense. Eric was a low-life, bottom-dwelling, scum sucker. It stood to reason the other Cruz would be too. DNA, damn it. Why couldn’t everyone else see the connection? Maybe if he hadn’t said, “We need your help,” she would have listened. She shook her head, probably not even then. Cara stomped over to the splattered brownie and started cleaning up the pieces, much like she’d done with her life after Eric.
Cara tossed the brownie into the trashcan, moved over to her window, and glanced out at the calming view. The crystal blue water of the ocean gleamed in the distance, lowering her blood pressure. The only thing better would be to hear the crashing waves. She made a mental note to take her recorder next time she went to the beach.
She’d expected to see tourists walking by on the street below, with shining bright sunburns, while wearing big straw hats and bikinis. Instead, she found Harper standing outside the building doors deep in conversation with the other Cruz.
The anger that had been simmering in her gut started to boil. The Thornton clan was about to be minus one sister at Sunday dinner. Mom could always conceive another.
Harper tapped Coop’s arm, pointed to Cara’s window, and waved. Damn her. Damn him.
