life consisted of golf and swanky parties as well as periodic trips to visit his growing number of grandchildren scattered everywhere from Florida to California. Thankfully, none of Aiden’s sisters had remained in Texas. It was bad enough having to tolerate their meddling from hundreds of miles away. Living close would have been sheer torture.
Aiden took the locket out of his pocket once the plane was airborne. The clasp had broken in God only knew what way. He’d sent it out to be repaired. He turned it over in his hand. Cara never wore any other necklace but this. Had she given up on ever finding it again? He couldn’t wait to see her expression when he put it on her. He’d planned on waiting to call her until later that day, but instead he liked the idea of stopping by before she went into the office. He could almost picture her now. Fresh out of bed and ready to return. Aiden glanced around at the few other passengers who slept mostly. The flight was an early one. He hoped no one noticed that he wasn’t anywhere close to sleepy. And the awakening evidence of his arousal at picturing Cara in bed was not the easiest to disguise at thirty thousand feet.

“Cara, we’ve been dating almost six months now. We’re perfect for each other in every way. What are we waiting for?” Even though Jason had whispered those words in her ear, it was clear that Shelby’s radar hearing had picked them up. And it was equally as clear that she could have answered that question for Cara.
Aiden . Aiden was the problem. Had been from the start. Especially now.
Cara glanced at Shelby and tried to send a message to her to keep her mouth shut. She did, but she couldn’t keep from laughing at Cara’s dilemma.
“ Jason, now is not the time to discuss this.” Cara rolled her eyes in Shelby’s direction. There wasn’t really a good time to discuss this but she knew she couldn’t keep putting Jason off forever.
“ Cara,” Jason said softly. He was ready to try another approach. Good luck with that buddy, she thought. You don’t’ stand a chance after…
“ Jason, can you excuse me for a second.” Cara didn’t wait to hear his response. She stepped back into the kitchen and drug Shelby with her. “I’ll only be a minute. Just need to cover some things with Shelby before tomorrow morning’s brunch.”
Cara closed the door and resisted the urge to lock it.
“Would you stop it?” she said before Shelby could get a word out.
“ Cara, you can’t sleep with him. Don’t even think about it. In fact, you need to break up with him. You know it as well as me. Jason’s not the one.”
In spite of all her attempts at appearing differently, Shelby was still at heart a woman who believed in happy ever afters.
She was convinced, especially after Cara told her about sleeping with Aiden, that they were meant to be one of those happy ever afters in spite of all Cara’s attempts to make her see another truth.
“ Shelby, Jason is my boyfriend. Not Aiden. And Jason is a great guy. Wonderful…not perfect. And I’ve been a fool putting him off for so long. I don’t know why? I mean I knew that nothing would ever come of Aiden and…Jason’s perfect for me. And I’m not going to keep him waiting any longer.”
“ Cara, you’re going to regret it if you do,” Shelby all but yelled as Cara turned and walked out of the kitchen.
“Everything okay with you two?” Jason asked at the obvious anger in Cara’s eyes.
“Fine. Everything’s fine. We just had a minor disagreement over dessert tomorrow. It’s all worked out now. Let’s go.”
Jason clearly wasn’t buying the lie but decided after another look at her expression not to press the matter.
Seated next to Jason in his bright red Corvette convertible, Cara decided dinner wasn’t an option if she was actually going through with this.
“You know what, Jason, I’m not hungry. Let’s go back to my place.”
