Chapter 61 - Meeting Bill
Cadence was a tumult of conflicting emotions. Less than an hour ago, James's ex-fiance, Sarah Wilmington, crashed their wedding and tried to use a cactus as a weapon. Only in Texas, she thought wryly. Then, not more than two minutes after watching the police drive Sarah off, Cadence walked into the living room to find her mother and a man she'd never met in whispered intimate conversation. He was confident looking with a sturdy frame. His sandy blonde hair had bits of gray in it that suited his handsome face well. There weren't many people this man could be, since their wedding guest list was quite small, but they were clearly familiar with each other.
