“He got his attorney and accountant to look over our whole business plan,” Gavin said. “He said it looks solid. Plus, Cam wanted to invest in the B and B, for Rowan. He said Rowan would’ve wanted that.”

Piper hadn’t taken her gaze off Cam. He was watching her too, and giving nothing away while he was at it. Absolutely zero. And her heart died a little bit.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Rowan sooner,” Winnie said softly.

“Are you?” Piper asked. “Because I think that was a conscious choice, and now I have to live with knowing you didn’t trust me enough or want me to know.”

“It wasn’t like that,” Winnie said.

“What was it like?”

Gavin shifted uneasily. “Piper,” he said with censure, and she whirled on him.

“Don’t,” she said tightly. “Don’t you dare.” She turned back to Winnie. “I’d like an answer.”

Winnie looked well and pissed now. Guess they all were, as the room was humming with tension and the weight of so many things left unsaid.

“Honestly?” Winnie asked.

“Sure,” Piper said. “Let’s try honesty for once.”

Winnie winced, but answered. “I didn’t want to hear about my bad choices.”

Yet another hit. “You really think that I’d do that to you right now?”

“No,” Gavin said, showing his middle-child status by interfering and playing peacemaker. “She just means that sometimes you get a little . . . bossy.”

Piper pointed at him. “I said don’t.” She pointed at all of them. “Each of you kept things from me, purposely.”

Cam said her name softly and took a step toward her, and she glared at him. “Are you kidding me? You told me you had my back. You told me I could trust you. You made me feel like we were partners. And then you lied. You lied and you hid stuff. And you . . . lied! You all lied to me, and probably laughed about it behind my back!”

“No. Never,” Cam said quietly. “And I get and understand why you’re upset, but—”

“No buts.” She shook her head. “I’m over all of this.”

“You’re missing the bigger picture here.”

“Yeah, I missed that you’re an asshole. All of you are.”

“Well, that escalated quickly,” Winnie murmured to Gavin.

“It is our family motto.” Gavin looked at Piper. “Let us tell you everything, okay?”

“No. I don’t care. You’ve surpassed the statute of limitations and I’m done.”
