before rushing off.
    “I love you , too, sis,” Cameryn called after her.
    Cameryn smiled as she threw a few extra dollars for tip and motioned their water over to collect the money. Deena was getting married. It was just another chapter in her sister’s fairytale life. Cameryn wasn’t bitter. A little jealous? Absolutely. No one could deny that Deena was a wonderful, considerate human being who deserved love and happiness, but Cameryn couldn’t help but wonder when someone would finally feel that way about her. Cameryn’s love life was nonexistent, and it didn’t look like it was going to change anytime soon, leaving her once again in her sister’s shadow.
     

Chapter Three
     
    Cameryn woke at ten the next morning. It felt so nice to sleep in once in a while. She was usually in her office by no later than eight-thirty, but after the emotional rollercoaster she’d experienced yesterday a day off was in order. Besides, it wasn’t like she felt like doing much anyway. She reached for the remote on the bedside table and turned on the TV. It had been a while since she’d been home on a weekday. She had no idea what was usually on. There had once been a time when soap operas dominated daytime television. Those days were long gone. Reality TV had taken over. She channel surfed for a minute until she came to the Hallmark Channel. They were having a Golden Girls marathon. She’d always loved that show.
    Setting the remote down, she fluffed her pillows and relaxed. In all honesty, she couldn’t remember the last time she’d taken a day off. With Deena’s upcoming nuptials she was fairly certain that she wouldn’t be getting much rest anytime soon. She was happy for Deena . She really was. Even though biologically they were not related, Deena had always treated her as if they were blood sisters. With all the adoption horror stories in the news, Cameryn realized how blessed she was to have been adopted into a family with two loving and giving parents, but also a sister who readily accepted her. Yes, her life had been great, but she could freely admit that she was jealous of Deena. Her older sister had lived life in a protective bubble. Everything had always gone right for her. She was never without friends or a date. She’d never even gone through an awkward teenage stage.
    Cam on the other hand, hadn’t been so lucky. She’d had a terrible case of acne. Guys had run in the opposite direction , and she’d never been very popular. Most people thought she was some Emo chick because she wore a lot of black. That wasn’t the case. It was just what she looked best in. Cameryn realized that she was just being petty, but she couldn’t help it. She was entitled to a moment of self pity, and she was choosing to take it now. She had to get herself together to help with the wedding planning. No doubt her parents were over the moon. Their perfect princess was about to become a bride.
    Cameryn scoffed at the bitterness she could feel welling back up in her throat. Her parents and her sister loved her unconditionally. She needed to put these foolish thoughts out of her mind. Her train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of her cell phone. She picked it up without looking at the caller ID.
    “Cameryn Kane.”
    “Hey , Cam. It’s Jake.”
    “Hey , Jake. What’s going on?”
    “Nothing much. Just calling to check up on you and let you know Dylan Phillips gave a full confession.”
    “I appreciate it, and that is great news about Dylan. I hope it sticks.”
    “It should. We went by the book even though we all wanted to beat the shit out of him.”
    “A few well-placed hits would’ve been the least that sick fuck deserved.”
    “I won’t argue with you there, but I don’t need any allegations of police brutality. I’m just going to have faith that justice is going to prevail.”
    “That’s what we all hope for on a daily basis.”
    “You working today?” Jake asked.
    “No. Believe it or not, I am taking a
