she knew this was getting out of control. “Parker I didn’t ask for this… me and you. If I recall you kissed me, you pulled me into your room. I am not asking you to love me, I don't even believe in it.” He glanced up at her then and frowned.
    “Maybe this won’t work for us Jasmine. I just don’t know.” He sounded sad and his heart was heavy with each word he spoke.
    Jasmine took a step back as if she had been hit. Without a word she turned and stomped back into the house. She shut the door of her room in a rush and started pulling her things into her bags. If he wanted her to go she would go. She let the tears run unchecked down her face. She had come here to help him, to do something to help all of them really, and now she wasn’t going to work out for him because he “felt” something? Would he want the money back now? Most of it, she had sent to her family and what was left would get her back home at least. Maybe then she could start over and put this whole mess behind her. She knew there was much more than just business on her end too, she had developed feelings for him quickly, and she just didn’t know what they were. She called the cab before she could change her mind and carried her bags out front alone. Miss Becca had the night off and fortunately saved Jasmine from having to face her. She gave one last look at the house before she got into the cab and left. She headed to town. There was a flight leaving in the morning and she intended to be on it.
    She spent the night crying like she had long ago when her mother had died. There was a sense of loss now that swallowed her up. She had to admit to herself that she was in love with Parker. It would be so much easier to pretend that she didn’t, but it was too late now. She showered and made her way to the airport. Some small part of her had hoped that he would show up and stop her, like they always did in the romance novels, but he hadn’t. She waited for her flight to board and as she watched Texas fade into the distance she decided to focus on home, and starting over again.
    The flight went quickly and she started to try and build herself up for seeing her father and sister. They were both excited to see her and she needed to put on a good face. If they knew she was sad her father would worry and she didn’t want that. She got off the plane and her sister ran to her embracing her in a hug. Her sister was very much like her father. Her skin was a darker shade and she was embracing her “sisterhood” as she would often say and had left her hair in its natural state. The fact of the matter was she was beautiful and had often been approached to do modeling, but she had turned it all down to focus on school.
    “I am sooo glad you’re here Jaz, I have so much to tell you about there is a boy at school and he is so cute but I ignore him which makes him so crazy.” Jasmine smiled at her, to listen to her sister and her drama at school was exactly what she needed.
                  Jasmine noticed her father’s stare and avoided the questioning glance he gave her. They made their way to the car and Jasmine smiled. This car had been around since her sister Rika was born. She threw her bags in the trunk and finally they were on their way. She watched as her father carefully maneuvered his way through town and down the street where she had grown up. She put her things in the room, she shared with her sister and went downstairs to talk to her father.
    “I was wondering if you were going to come down here and talk about it or if I was going to have to come up there and ask.”She saw him massaging his injured leg under the table.
    “Things just didn’t work out Daddy, that’s all.” She picked at the blanket draped on the back of the couch.
    “Oh no Jasmine go on and get it out you will feel better.” He walked carefully into the living room and settled into his chair waiting for her to share.
    It only took a moment before she took a deep
