and Katelyn. Paige however, just scowled.
"I haven't seen her for seventeen years now."
"Too bad it couldn't have been another seventeen," Paige sneered.
"Paige! I've only heard you talk that way about Kandi and her sultry ways. What's this person ever done?" Katelyn asked as she took a tiny sip of the tea. She'd learned her lesson about the Rose sis ters' drinks. They were potent.
"She destroyed Miles' s life!" Paige exclaimed.
"She wasn't very nice or good growing up," Pam's motherly voice cut in, "She had a crush on Miles and kissed him on her last night here. His girlfriend walked in and saw it. She broke up with him because of Morgan. It seems Morgan ruins whatever she touches."
"Geez Pam, that doesn't sound like you either . What is it about her that makes people who are so open and nice talk so harshly?" Kenna shook her head and look ed from Pam to Paige.
"She was a bad apple," Miss Lily put in. "She stole little things from the store, she vandal ized some properties with paint, knocked over trash cans and so on. "
"She pierced her eyebrow and dyed her hair purple," Miss Daisy added .
"She tortured my father by acting up constantly. She wore my mother's nerves out. She not only broke up Miles and Stacy, but she made my boyfriend break up with me too. Then she just up and left graduation night and was never seen or heard from again until she waltzed back into town last week. She never even came back for my mother's funeral or my father's wh en he passed a few years later," Pam explained. "But, my parents wer e very hard on her. Now that I’ m a mother, I see that maybe they were a little too harsh on her. I just don't know, can someone really change?"
"I’ ve been thinking the same thing," Miss Lily shook her head, "I yelled at her and hit her with my broom that night when I caught her messing with my roses before she left town . I don't know what's she's been doing all these years, but she appears to be very successful, even with a big chip on her shoulder."
"And, every year on the date of my mother's death, there’s a fresh bouquet of red roses placed on her grave," Pam told them.
"Do you think it's Morgan?" Dani asked, getting more into the legend of Morgan.
" I don't know. I don't know what to think or how to handle having her back in town," Pam shrugged.
"Well, you may be in doubt, but I’m not. Miles was heartbroken over losing Stacy. I don't know if he ever recovered. He certainly hasn’t had any long - term relationships since then." Paige scowled as she rocked Ryan to sleep in her arms .
" I think she sounds interesting. M aybe I just need to get to know her. You know, one bad girl to another," Annie laughed.
" Pish Posh , you're not bad!" Miss Lily smacked Anni e's leg and Annie just laughed.
There was a lot about her life that no one knew. She had a feeling she and Morgan would get along great.

Miles hung up the phone and raked his fingers through his hair. In two week s Morgan Hamilton ha d swayed thirty of his farmers to her s ide while he only convinced twenty-three. He wasn’t used to losing, and he wasn't going to this time, even if he couldn't stop thinking about grabbing that long black hair and wrapping it around his hand as he pull ed her head back for a blazing kiss that would leave her quivering.
Bill howled and Miles opened his eyes and readjusted his pants before the door to his office opened. He was sure Claire had scheduled more appointments with his members, so he was surprised when he saw his youngest brother walk in instead.
"Bill, quiet." The little dog stopped his howling and laid back down, putting his gray face on his stubby little legs before falling back to sleep.
"Miles, do you know you have a dog in your office?" Peirce looked skeptically at the dog. "And is he wearing a bandana?"
"Yes. He’s easy to miss being so close to the ground an d all, but that long tail is lethal when he wags it. As for the bandana, I had one from
