Piper stood up and the blanket fell away, revealing she was fully dressed.

Cam sat up, also dressed. Well, mostly. He was still shirtless, and his cargoes seemed dangerously low on those sexy hips. And then there was the shaggy bedhead, which looked good on him.

As he moved, Piper’s journal hit the floor, and Winnie burst out laughing. “Okay, now I know nothing happened. Seriously, Piper, for your sex life’s sake, join the twenty-first century and switch to the note app on your damn phone. Or better yet, figure out how to use the iPad that Gavin and I gave you for your last birthday.”

Piper slid a look at Cam, who appeared to be holding back a smile.

Winnie wasn’t holding back anything; it wasn’t in her DNA. She was almost a mirror image of Piper, with the same shoulder-length light-brown hair—although Winnie’s tips had been dyed blue—the same green eyes, and the same curvy build that never seemed to respond to exercise or diet.

But only Winnie had black circles under her eyes.

“Hey,” Piper said. “You okay?”

“Peachy. Just wanted to wish you happy birthday, but you never answer your phone.”

“There was no electricity last night. And we’d agreed you weren’t coming home.”

“No,” Winnie said. “You agreed. But then I heard about the storm and you’d gone dark, so I got worried.” She smiled at Cam. “Hi. And obviously, I’m the nice, considerate Manning sister.”

With a sigh, Piper gestured to Winnie by way of introduction. “Cam, this is—”

“Winnie,” he said.

Winnie smiled. “Hey, Camden.”

Piper paused. Blinked. “You two know each other?”

“I met him at Rowan’s funeral,” Winnie said quietly.

Surprised, Piper glanced at Cam, who was giving nothing away, so she turned back to her sister. “You went to Rowan’s funeral?”

Winnie’s eyes filled, but didn’t spill as she nodded. “He was my best friend.”

“I know.” Ignoring the ache in her own chest, she moved to Winnie and hugged her. “If you’d told me, I’d have tried to find a way to go with you.”

“We talked about it at the time, remember? We couldn’t afford for all of us to go, and I didn’t want you to feel bad. Plus, I wanted to do it alone.”
