I wondered what kind of story she'd told her sister about the money for the operation—she obviously didn't want Maria to know the details of our arrangement. Thank god I'd figured that one out before blurting the truth. It could have gotten kind of messy if I hadn't been paying attention. But Angela's obvious distress had been a pretty blatant red flag.
Their living arrangements weren't too different from what I'd expected. Most of the bungalows where pretty similar on the inside. And while the girls were obviously sisters, I could really see Maria's resemblance to her father. I wondered how tall she would have been before the accident made her wheelchair-bound. I suspected she was at least a head taller than Angela.
As eager as I'd been to give Maria the good news—and maybe get back into some of Angela's good graces—I'd never expected to get such a bonus with those photographs.
I still felt a little guilty about leaving Angela so much on her own during the cruise, but it had obviously turned into a lucky break for me. A break I couldn't help celebrating by stealing a kiss before I left. Angela had been no less shocked by my impulsive move than I had been, but somehow it had just seemed right.
At this point, it should be pretty simple to tie up all the loose ends. Should being the operative word. There were still plenty of things that could go wrong, but, I was much more confident now.
I thanked my lucky stars—and Angela's photographic skills— for giving me just what we needed. It was hard not to be impatient. Especially since, once this mess was over, we could all get on with our lives. I didn't dare to let myself consider what that might mean, or just how differently things would play out as a result. I just hoped I'd be able to wait that long.
"Mr. Mancini, it's that call you were waiting for," came Hilary's voice from the intercom. "Line three."
"Thanks for calling me back so quickly," I said into the phone, as calmly as I could manage. "Can you meet me for lunch? The guys have decided they'd like to take you up on your offer of help after all, and I think it's time to wrap this up."
"Oh, Darlin', you know I'd meet you anywhere. Just name it," came Naomi's reply.

About the Author
Like most romance writers, Ami LeCoeur is a romantic at heart, but in her heart it's the classic Romanticism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
She is also a painter, glass artist, and award winning poet, as well as a writer.
When she isn't traveling, she lives on California's Redwood Coast with her husband and two kitties. She loves her wonderful ocean view, and when the fog comes in - as it always does - she's either curled up with a good book, or busy writing.
If you like Ami's stories, please let your friends know.
