“And I’ll be second.” Trent supplied with awink.
“Thank you.” She murmured softly. “Thank you guys. You have no idea how much of a relief it is to tell someone how I’m feeling and know you’ll stand byme.”
“Always.” Lance grunted, “You’re my sister, Lu. I love you and I’ll always think you deserve thebest.”
“Love you too.” She blew him akiss.
“Just have fun the rest of your vacation. Enjoy yourself and be happy.” Trentadded.
“Love y’all. See you in a couple days.” She nodded, waving goodbye before the line clicked off and her iPad screen went darkagain.
She breathed out a heavy sigh of relief and dropped her head into her hands. Lance had said she deserved the best. Was it possible that the man she’d been fighting with for over a decade was really the best thing to ever happen to her? She thought that maybe, just maybe, fate worked in mysterious ways and hewas.
