at home and made love to her. The second time, he took her in the limo. She wondered if she would ever feel normal again.
    “This is kinda crazy,” she told him as he held her in his arms.
    “It’s crazy in a good way,” he said, kissing her.
    “Are you sure about that?” she asked.
    “Yeah, I am,” he said.
    Calista took a deep breath and deliberately drowned herself in him.
    She felt him fold her around him as he slid inside her. She held onto him wanting more, wanting everything….
    “I’m rolling onto my back,” he said. “You can take me any way you want.”
    And she did, but at the same time, she was completely taken.
    That weekend her sisters joined Calista and Leo at his lake house. Calista feared he would run screaming from extended close contact, but he managed. She was impressed at the way he handled them on his yacht. Then again, what wasn’t to like about riding on a yacht?
    Leo took Tina on an inner tube ride.
    “Can I try it?” Tami asked, who was usually too cool to participate in what she deemed childish.
    “Of course,” Leo said. “You’re up next.”
    After a few more minutes for Tina, Tami jumped off the side of the boat and positioned herself in the inner tube.
    As Tina climbed on board, Calista wrapped a towel around her sister and hugged her. “That rocked,” she said and glanced at Leo. “Your husband is the best.”
    Leo felt a surprising rush of pleasure at the teen’s compliment. The appreciation he saw in Calista’s gaze gave him an even bigger boost. Watching her interact with her sisters tugged at a long forgotten place inside him. Their teasing camaraderie reminded him of nights he’d spent wishing for a different family. He’d thought he’d buried those longings years ago. He couldn’t help admiring the way the three of them had retained their sense of family even after all their losses and living apart.
    “It does look fun,” Calista said.
    “You wanna go?” he asked, watching as her hair whipped around in the wind.
    “Oh, no, that’s okay,” she said.
    “You should try it,” Tina said. “It’s way easier than skiing.”
    Calista shook her head. “No—”
    “Oh, don’t be a wuss, Cal,” Tina said.
    “More than one can ride at a time,” he said, remembering Calista’s traumatic experience.
    “I’ll go with you,” Tina offered.
    “For some reason, that doesn’t make me feel more secure, daredevil ,” Calista said and bumped her hip against her sister.
    “It would work,” Leo said, because he could tell Calista wanted to go. “Tina could go with you and Tami could watch.”
    “Come on,” Tina said.
    “Okay,” Calista said. “But you better make sure Tami isn’t texting instead of watching.”
    Minutes later, Calista took the plunge with Tina. He watched her younger sister coach her on the location of the grips. He wondered how often the girls switched roles, becoming the teacher instead of the student. Despite Tina’s bold personality, she was gentle with Calista.
    Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Tami lifting her cell phone. “No texting when you’re the lookout,” he said.
    “Who’s texting? I’m taking pictures,” she said. “Are you ready?” she called to Tina and Calista.
    “Yes,” Tina said.
    “No,” Calista said. “Okay,” she amended when Tina rolled her eyes. “Just go very slowly.”
    Leo eased forward, escalating slowly. Hearing yelling voices, he glanced at Tami. “Tina wants you to go faster,” she said.
    “What about Calista?” he asked, focusing on piloting the boat.
    “She’s okay,” Tami said.
    Leo revved up the speed and took a few easy turns. He heard a scream during the last one and immediately slowed, glancing over his shoulder. “Is Calista okay?”
    Tami was busy snickering and taking pictures with her cell phone. “They both got thrown.”
    “What?” he asked, searching the water for them.
    “It happened during that last turn,” Tami said, still snickering.
    Leo spotted
