Vicious Cycle (2011)
“She’d been sure she would get Lance out today, but Jordan hadn’t come through. The thought of his spending one more night in jail made her nauseous.
She stared out the window as Kent drove. “Emily’s getting out tomorrow. I was going to decorate the house to welcome her home. I was going to shop for her favorite meal. I had all kinds of plans.”

There wasn’t time to do that now, and her heart wasn’t in it. Besides, she hoped to welcome Lance home too. She showed Kent where the ladder was, and he helped her hang the banner.MoreLess
