Tammie's trust in Ann was absolute, built on a lifetime of shared memories. She was his cousin, the closest family he had left. In his mind, no amount of money could ever rival their bond.
Benedict sighed in frustration. "Tammie, wake up. Human nature is fragile, and loyalty rarely stands up to that kind of temptation," he warned. As a pragmatist, Benedict knew exactly what was at stake. "When it comes to that much money, every relationship has its price."
"You'd understand if you met her, Benedict. She's not that kind of person," Tammie insisted, brushing off the warning. "Besides, she's absolutely stunning. You'd be blown away if you saw her."
Normally, talk of a beautiful woman would have captured Benedict's full attention. But right now, all he could think about was the design. "I don't care how much you trust her, Tammie. You have to protect this draft. You know what will happen if it leaks." Benedict, usually laid-back, was dead serious.
Tammie waved him off with a dismissive, "I know, I know." Benedict was just being paranoid, projecting his own cynicism onto Ann. She would never do something like that. They had no need for secrets or suspicion between them.
"Alright, go have your lunch," Benedict conceded. "I won't keep you." But just before hanging up, he added one last time, "Seriously, protect that draft."
"Okay." Ann set down the tray and took a seat across from him. "I haven't eaten yet either. I'll join you."
"That's great," Tammie said with a smile. "It's been so long since I had someone to share a meal with." Deep down, he'd always longed for the warmth of a family he never had.

So happy for Carey, the reunion with her family is touching. Can we read more of Caitlin and Gordon? Readers are forgetting that Caitlin has a boyfriend by the way. Is it normal for their relationship to be erased in the storyline?...
