ladies’ room. Excuse me.” She escaped the restaurant and headed up to Kaylie’s room. She’d need to be quick, or her father’s family would think she’d lost her mind, too, disappearing during breakfast. Although Madeline seemed to take Kaylie’s absence in stride. She even appeared to understand it. So why can’t I?
    She knocked on Kaylie’s door twice, and when no one answered, she texted her.
    Where r u? She paced the hall. Damn it, Kaylie . Her cell vibrated.
    Pool .
    Danica cursed under her breath as she headed back down the elevator and outside into the warm, morning sunshine. The pool was behind the hotel, built high enough to give an extraordinary view of the Bay. She found Kaylie and Chaz lying on lounge chairs. Chaz’s arms were folded over his chest, his lips pinched into a hard line.
    Her anger spewed forth. “Kaylie Elizabeth, what are you doing?”
    Kaylie looked like she’d never had one baby, much less two. Her stomach was taut between the tiny swatches of her bikini. She lowered her sunglasses and peered at Danica over the frames. “Getting a little sun. Want to join us?” She righted her sunglasses on her nose.
    “Listen, I know this all sucks for you, but that was really rude of you to skip breakfast and not tell anyone.”
    Chaz sat up and leaned his elbows on his knees. “Just for the record, I wanted to go, but Kaylie nixed it.”
    “I’m sure she did,” Danica said. Kaylie made no move toward joining them, and Danica was not going to spend the next two days running between her father and Kaylie. She sat down on Kaylie’s chair, pushing her over with her butt, and took her glasses from their perch on her nose.
    “What?” Kaylie said, exasperated.
    “You know what. Come on, sit up.”
    “No.”
    “Kaylie.”
    “Why don’t you go hang out with Lacy? God, Danica, couldn’t you have reminded me when I started calling Alexandra Lexi? The names are so close. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before.”
    “Kaylie, really? That’s ridiculous. Come on. You’re my sister. I want to hang out with you.”
    “So is she; you said it yourself.” Kaylie folded her arms across her chest and turned away just like the stubborn teenager she’d once been.
    Danica took another, softer approach. “Kay, Lacy could never take your place. You know that.”
    “Well, you apparently got to know her really well at some point, because she walked right over to you in the restaurant.”
    Danica dropped her eyes. “We’ve been writing to each other.”
    “And?”
    The hurt in Kaylie’s eyes stabbed at Danica’s heart. “And I’m really sorry. I should have told you, but you were so mad at me when I told you about telling Dad about Lexi and Trevor that I was afraid to.”
    “Afraid? You’re not afraid of anything. Everything you do is well thought out. You probably told Lacy not to tell me, and you had this little conspiracy going behind my back.”
    The ugly trust monster rises again .
    “You know what? I’m gonna go catch up with Blake,” Chaz said as he rose to his feet.
    “Chaz!” If looks could maim, Kaylie’s would have amputated a limb.
    “Kaylie, this is between us. Let him go.” Danica turned to Chaz and said, “I kinda left without explaining anything. Can you please tell them that I’ll be back shortly?”
    “Sure.” He looked at Kaylie.
    “Ugh! Fine. Go ahead.”
    Chaz walked away, then turned back and said, “Danica? Thank you.”
    He nodded in Kaylie’s direction, and Danica understood that he was doing his best, but he wasn’t sure how to handle her when she was like this. Then again, when it came to Kaylie, Danica was often shooting from the hip, too.
    “Kaylie, I made a huge mistake. I should have told you about Lacy, but honestly, I knew that you’d never accept me talking to her, and I kinda wanted to see what she was like before we all got together. I mean, if she was bitchy or mean, or entitled or whatever, I would have made an excuse for her not
