    CHAPTER TWO
     
     
    Jacob helped himself to more mashed potato. Sunday lunch was sacred in his parents’ house, and everyone made an effort to be there.
    He listened to Liam, a friend he’d known since first grade, tell his parents about a legal case he’d been working on. When they’d been younger, Liam had spent most weekends with Jacob and his family, working on the ranch and earning pocket money that would one day help pay for college. He was like an adopted brother, and Jacob’s parents treated him like their son.
    These days, Liam worked out of Vancouver with a big legal firm. He didn’t come home as much as he would have liked, but he was here today, catching up with all of the Green family happenings.
    Alex and Emily were there, too. It was a noisy lunch filled with good-natured ribbing and more than one groan when someone told a not-so-funny joke.
    “What did the judge say to the guy who stole the truck?” Alex asked Liam. He passed Emily a bowl of green beans and smiled at her.
    The blush on Emily’s face was touching. With their first baby on the way, it was an exciting time for the newlyweds. Even more exciting now that Alex was spending more time at home, raising competition winning bulls and helping their dad.
    Liam grinned. “He said if he ever saw his face in his courtroom again, he wouldn’t be so lenient.”
    Jacob’s mom smiled. “He was more patient than I would have been. What have you done about your apartment?”
    Jacob watched Liam squirm under his mom’s close scrutiny. Liam’s male roommate had left four months ago. He’d been desperate to find someone to share the cost of the apartment, so he’d sent an email around the legal firm he worked for. Someone called Kelly had moved in a month ago.
    “It’s all sorted. Kelly has moved in and she’s a great roommate.”
    Jacob’s mom glanced at Liam. “What does she do at your work? You’re living in an expensive part of town. Your mom and dad won’t want you getting worried about not being able to pay your rent.”
    Liam cleared his throat and gave Jacob one of his bail-me-out-of-this-mess looks. Jacob sent one back that said he was on his own. His personal life had been under the spotlight for too long. It was about time Liam took some of the heat away from him.
    Liam tried Alex next. But Alex was too busy making cow eyes at his wife to notice a friend in need.
    “Kelly doesn’t work with me. She works at Canada Post.” Liam’s jaw tightened, waiting for the reaction around the table. Instead of defending his roommate’s occupation, he chose to go on the offensive. “Kelly is reliable and trustworthy. She’s happy living with me and said she’d give me plenty of notice if she wants to move out.”
    Jacob’s dad’s fork stopped halfway to his mouth. “That doesn’t change the fact that she’s a single woman living with a single man.”
    Alex coughed into his fist, holding back a grin that left his eyes watering.
    “Mom and dad have already pointed that out to me,” Liam muttered. “I’m thirty-two-years-old. I can look after myself.”
    It wasn’t often that anything rattled Liam, but it looked as though this conversation was really starting to bug him. It was time for Jacob to take pity on the plight of his friend.
    “I’m selling all
