for your information, I made sure my boys knew all about protection before they sprouted facial hair.”
    “But… but…,” Sunny stuttered. “It’s about Willow.”
    “You can tell Willow that until she comes to her senses and leaves that wetback she’s been shacking up with, I don’t want to hear from her. Don’t call this number again.” Helene threw the phone into the pool. It hit with an impressive splash and sank to the river-rock bottom. Satisfied, Helene drank the rest of her wine in one long thirsty gulp. When she was done, she screeched, “Consuelo! Get out here! I need more wine!”

    Sunny stared in disbelief at her cell phone. How could anybody be so rude to another person? She could see now why Willie wanted nothing to do with her mother. Helene McIntyre was a nightmare. And really, paternity kits ? Sunny sniffed and rolled her eyes. She tucked her phone back in her pocket. She retrieved the business card. She was tempted to rip the thing into tiny, tiny bits. She could open her hand and let them be carried by the ocean breeze into the steel-blue waters of the Pass. But then she realized the business card was all she had left of JD. She didn’t question her motives too closely when she slid it back into her pocket.
    Even though she was keeping the card. She made a solemn vow to herself, she’d put it away somewhere. She was never, never going to try and contact JD again. She was done.
    “Hey.”
    She turned to see Trey walking towards her. She smiled at him.
    “You’re not mad at me, are you?” he asked.
    “Well, I do wish you’d quit taking cheap shots at Trinity.”
    “Not about that. About the… you know… the stupid comment I made back there.” He looked a little sheepish.
    “About me being a virgin?”
    “Yeah, I was just surprised. You know.” His boy-next-door face turned a deep embarrassed red.
    “No. I don’t. Why don’t you explain it to me,” she answered him.
    Sunny had a sinking feeling he was going to make some kind of snide comment about helping her with her pesky little problem . Or at the least question her lack of experience. So his next words floored her.
    “It’s just that you’re so beautiful. I was sure some guy had claimed you and sweet-talked you out of your panties by now.”
    “You think I’m pretty?” She couldn’t believe it. Maybe he needed contacts.
    “Come on Sunny,” he said as if she was putting him on. “Everybody around knows you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to Sea Glass Point.”
    “Oh, you mean I’m a hard worker.” Now that she could believe. Her mother had drilled hard work as a means of gaining approval into her from an early age. Just like her father had told her every day of her life that she was an ugly, unwanted mutt.
    Trey came closer. He reached out a hand to her. He frowned when she took a step backwards.
    “No, I’m not talking about hard work. Although you’ve just about reinvented everything you’ve touched. Everything you’re involved with is better because of you. I mean, just take the medical bills as one example. How have you managed to just about pay those things off? What do you owe now? Ten thousand?”
    She shook her head. “Fifty, but I’m getting that whittled down.”
    “See, that’s what I’m talking about Sunny. You’re almost a freaking force of nature.” The blue in his eyes deepened. He stepped closer once again.
    The girl bit her lower lip nervously. She planted a hand in the center of his chest. She gently pushed him away.
    Trey shook his head. “I know you’re a hard worker. Everybody does. But do you even realize you’re drop dead gorgeous too? And I’ve got to tell you, I’m really tired of you backing off any time I get too close. What did he do to you?”
    “Who?” Sunny whispered.
    “The man who made you so afraid. I’d like to pound him into the ground for scaring you like this.”
    “I’m not… scared.”
    “Sunny, you won’t even
