“That works for me. I just need some generic photos to put up on the freelance board.” She’d already explained to Kassi and Gemma how she’d signed up as a photographer with a local freelance agency.

“Have you had any interest so far?” Kassi asked.

“I had a couple of emails but I haven’t heard back from them since I replied to their initial inquiries.”

“You will when the time is right,” Gemma told her with a smile that never quite reached her eyes. She hid a yawn. Catching sight of her reflection, she grimaced. No wonder every one thought she was sick! Her skin was pale, with faint shadows showing beneath her eyes.

Aimee’s expression showed concern. “We’re going to get out of here and let you rest. See you in a few hours.”

Gemma nodded, gathering Damien into her arms. “Be careful you two.” They didn’t seem to hear her. She bit her lip. She had the strangest feeling something was very wrong...Probably just the hormones. Pregnancy does that to you.She turned her attention back to Damien.

Aimee pulled the door to Gemma’s room closed behind her and jogged after Kassi. “Let me grab my camera and we can go.”

“Parking can be a bear so we’ll just get someone to drop us off close and we can walk. Wear comfortable shoes,” Kassi said.

“I will. I’m excited to see the docks.”

Kassi smiled. “I guarantee these won’t be like anything you’ve ever seen before. We’ll have to head back in plenty of time to get ready for dinner, or we’ll both be in trouble with Tressa. She’s a sweetheart most of the time, but I wouldn’t want to get her angry.”

“I’ll meet you downstairs in a few minutes.” Aimee planned to take as many pictures as possible and spend the rest of the evening editing them and putting them on her portfolio page. The more she thought about working as a photographer, the more excited she became. The only shadow over her plans was the money she didn’t have to pay for the schooling she truly thought she needed. That, and a whole list of new equipment.

As she headed downstairs to meet Kassi, she pushed those negative thoughts aside. Alexi, Gemma and Leo thought they could just step in and take over her life, using their money to help her out, but Aimee was determined to do this on her own or not at all.
