Now that fall was just around the corner, Karen Cruz was
experimenting with a new navy bean soup recipe for tomorrow’s
lunch at Sullivan’s when sous-chef and friend Erik Whitney peered
over her shoulder, gave an approving nod, then asked, “So, are you
excited about the gym Elliott’s going to open with us?”
Startled by the seemingly out-of-the-blue question, Karen spilled
the entire box of sea salt she was holding into the soup. “My
husband’s opening a gym? Here in Serenity?”
Obviously taken aback by her puzzled reaction, Erik winced. “I
take it he hasn’t told you?”

“No, he hasn’t said a word,” she responded. Unfortunately, it was
increasingly typical that when it came to the important things in their
marriage, the things they should be deciding jointly, she and Elliott
didn’t have a lot of discussions. He made the decisions, then told her
about them later. Or, as in this case, didn’t bother informing her at all.
After dumping the now inedible batch of soup out, Karen started
over, then spent the next hour stewing over this latest example of
Elliott’s careless disregard for her feelings. Each time he did
something like this, it hurt her, chipping away at her faith that their
marriage was as solid as she’d once believed it to be, that he was a
man who’d never betray her as her first husband had.
Elliott was the man who’d pursued her with charm and wit and
determination. It was his sensitivity to her feelings that had ultimately
won her over and convinced her that taking another chance on love
wouldn’t be the second biggest mistake of her life.
She drew in a deep breath and fought for calm, doing her best to
come up with a reasonable explanation for Elliott’s silence about a
decision that could change their lives. It was true that he did have a
habit of trying to protect her, of not wanting her to worry, especially
about money. Maybe that was why he’d kept this news from her. He
had to know she’d react negatively, especially right now.
They were, after all, planning to add a baby to their family. Now
that her two children from that previous disaster of a marriage—Mack
and Daisy—were both settled in school and on an even keel after the
many upheavals in their young lives, the timing finally seemed right.
But between Elliott’s fluctuating income as a personal trainer at
The Corner Spa and her barely above-minimum-wage pay here at the
restaurant, adding to their family had taken careful consideration.
