Hired Bride (1999)
“Heather was back—her mother was doing fine—and she orchestrated Zane’s meetings and phone calls with her usual efficiency.
Around two in the afternoon he had time to think about Gwen and he dialed her home number. He got her answering machine, and when he dialed her business number, he also got an answering machine. He left no messages.
Around three, Heather’s voice came over the intercom. “Zane, your sister Vanessa is on line five. Are you able to take the call now, or would you like me to tell her that you will call her back?”
Zane stiffened. Something told him that Vanessa wanted to discuss Gwen, and he did not want to talk about Gwen with anyone. Especially with his matchmaking sister. But Vanessa was tenacious, and sooner or later he would have to have this conversation. He figured he might as well get it over with.
“I’ll talk to her, Heather. Thanks.” Hitting the button for line five, Zane picked up the phone. “Hello, Vanessa.”
“How are you today, Zane?”
