    resided in now? It was possible. After all, Gabriel said he knew the owner. Perhaps he’d recommended Sharmane to him. Satisfied with that, she allowed Sharmane to embrace her, obviously not satisfied with shaking her hand. “Oh, Gabriel better be good to you otherwise I’ll take him across my knee,” the housekeeper was saying, surprising Abigail at her forwardness. Sharmane shook her head and rolled her eyes. “I’ve been taking care of him along with Anna Maria since he was seven years old.” Abigail grinned. “Oh my.” “Did you bring the ham?” Anna Maria was saying. Sharmane hustled toward the kitchen. “Got a beauty. I’m going to start prepping it for tonight. Did you take the chicken out of the oven?” “I’ve got it all on the platters. They should be here any moment. I do hope Angelo drives carefully. I want Gabriel home safe.” Sharmane poked her head over the counter that divided the dining room from the kitchen. “Will he still be staying here or in the other house?” Anna Maria’s gaze flicked to Abigail’s before she answered, “I’m not really sure.” On cue, the front door opened and Angelo rushed in to give Anna Maria a bear hug.

Anna Maria kept a tight arm around her waist, as if expecting her to bolt. Gabriel’s eyes blazed as he got closer. His face was unsmiling, determined. Diamond strolled over to Anna Maria to greet her with an enthusiastic hug and kiss. She then turned to Abigail, eyes wide and smile even wider. “Abigail, right? Nice to see you again, hon.” Abigail tried not to cringe when the woman gave her a hug and kissed the air near her cheek. When Diamond looked back at her face, her serpent green eyes were glacial, her smile cruel. Gabriel finally reached Abigail. Michael hugged and kissed her first and then stood by Gabriel as he reached for her with one arm. “Easy,” Michael warned when Gabriel’s balance wobbled. Even Abigail’s arms jumped to reach for him, thinking for a moment he was about to fall. Rafe and Michael grabbed him as well as Abigail when he continued to tip forward.
