Montana Love: Multicultural Romance (11 page)

Chapter 27

“Are you guys okay?” Cynthia asked, looking back and forth between her friends.  She was not able to just brush under the rug what had happened.

“No, but we will be,” Thelma said. 

“I’m sorry about Apple …” Dex tried to apologize for his sister’s behavior.

Thelma put her hand up. “No, I’m sorry. Apple was drunk, and I knew that. So I should have tempered myself,” she sighed. “Besides, I know your sister’s story. Is she going to be okay?” Thelma asked with sincere concern.

“If I have anything to say about it, she will. Apple is as stubborn as a mule, but I love her, and I’m going to make sure she gets the help she needs.

Martin squeezed his wife’s hand, realizing he needed to do the same for the mother of his child.

“Marriage is not easy,” Thelma said, peering up at him. “But it’s worth it.”

“It sure is,” Martin said, looking at her with love in his eyes.

Dexter cradled Cynthia closer to him, just as Carson came from the side of the house to jump between them in in their laps, like he’d done countless times over the past several weeks.

They all laughed.

“You all make a fine couple,” Thelma said. “And you’ll be good parents, too, seeing how you took care of Carson.”

“Yes, you sure will,” Martin said. “We owe you both the world.”

“You don’t owe us a thing,” Dex said.” That’s what friends are for.”

Cynthia squeezed her fiancé’s strong hand, grateful to have him in her life. “Yes, that’s what friends are for,” she said.

Cynthia and Dex began planning their wedding for the following spring.

About the Author

Cassandra Black

Cassandra Black is a writer, publisher and entrepreneur.  A resident of the Atlanta, Georgia area, she travels frequently to the tropics to enjoy the Caribbean Sea.

She has penned several romance novellas, a children's picture book, and a plethora of real estate and small business publications.

Her joy is reading and writing stories that delve into the often forgotten trials, tribulations, souls of women. She has authored several fiction books under her name and Amber Creek, a pen name. (See a full list of her books on the following pages.)

"My destiny has always been writing. I've known it since I was a little girl. God has led me to it. I am here now, in a place where I can let my mind meander, to uncover, reveal, share, the depths of us as women. It feels good, solid … right."

About the Mini-novel Format

“As mothers, wives and career women, I know from first-hand experience that many of us barely have time to breathe, more or less time to sit down and read a 400-page novel on a regular basis.  As such, I specialize in writing mini romance novels.  Most of my mini love stories can be devoured on a lunch break, on the subway or bus, at the airport, or in the doctor's office by readers who want a quick dose of romance.  I hope you enjoy reading my short romances as much as I enjoy writing them!”
