allow another person to put her down in any way. Not for her weight and not for her body.
    “You’ll find your happiness, sis,” Rebecca’s mumbled. Dammit, Charlotte had managed to make her usually spitfire sister sad. “Hey, look at me. I have no man. I am doing okay.”
    “You can take on the world Becca. I see it with every article you write. You give the best advice. You empower other women every day.” She smiled at her sister. “That’s who you are. You don’t take any bullshit from anyone. I love it. I love you. But you didn’t go through a divorce that fucked up your self-esteem and your trust in men.”
    “No. I haven’t gone through that, but I have had horrible relationships. I don’t let them keep me down. You can’t let that horrible marriage get the best of you. You’ve been rid of him for over a year.”
    “I know. But this is why I need a break. I need to go somewhere new. I want to meet a man who will love me.” Charlotte motioned down to her body. “All of it. Every dimple. Every curve. Every roll. I want someone who will want to strip me naked. A man who wants to look at my body and love it as it is. A man who will make love to me so desperately, he won’t know how to handle it.” She nodded. “That’s what I want. And I’m going to get it,” she said with assurance. “But for now, I need to reset my clock. I need to get away. Have fun. See new places. That’s why I’m leaving.”
    Rebecca offered her hand and motioned for her to come close. “I understand.”
    “Thank you,” she said, sitting next to her sister on the single sofa she’d left in the house. “I need to relax and have fun. That man, the right man, for me will come. Until then, I will travel and spend time with my best friend.” She smiled at Rebecca and hugged her to her side, leaning her head into Rebecca’s shoulder. “My other best friend.”
    “Okay.” Rebecca sighed. “But if I don’t hear from you in a few months, I swear I will hunt down this Gerri woman and make her take me to you. Do you understand?”
    Charlotte laughed. What were the chances of that? Highly likely. According to Gerri, if she stayed a week after Bella married, it would mean months in earth time. “Give it six months. I should be back by then.”
    Rebecca frowned. “What if I want to write you? Talk to you?”
    Charlotte pursed her lips. “I don’t know yet. I’ll ask Gerri. She can get any message I have to you. I’ll see what she says. Any messages can go through her.”
    Rebecca shook her head. “I don’t like this, sis. But I understand wanting to break away from this and going somewhere new to breathe.” She hugged Charlotte tightly. “I love you. I’m always here. Remember, six months and I’ll come looking for you if I don’t hear any news.”
    Charlotte hugged Rebecca hard. Now all she needed was to make sure she was back in that time frame or Rebecca would harass Gerri until she knew where Charlotte had gone.

    Brecc stared at the Ice Mountains. Snow coated the high peaks. From their cabin atop the highest level, he saw the scenery he’d come to love since he’d been a boy. The sharp throbbing at his temples didn’t diminish with the hours being alone. The pressure was on. Get a mate. Complete their triad. If not, elders would pick a mate and they would have to honor the rules of keeping whomever was chosen. Whether they liked it or not.
    “Brother.” A female voice sounded behind him.
    He turned from the large glass window to greet his sister. “Alessandra? I didn’t realize you’d be coming this way.”
    Alessandra tossed her long white curls behind her shoulder and smiled. “I wanted to surprise you.”
    “Where is Tatiana?”
    “Eros got his hands on her and she’s being shown the upstairs room you made for her to play in.” She came closer, her pale blue eyes cloudy with concern. “You’ve found no one.”
    He shook his head. “We are at the end of our rope. The
