- About the Author
I hope youll write to me but Ill understand if you dont. Im praying this finds you well. My folks send their love and please tell Sean and Marcail I said hello.
As ever,
Scott
Kate had effectively put Percy out of her mind for weeks. There was no one here like him and that certainly helped. But the guilt she felt, that she had somehow been the cause for the way hed treated her, continued to plague her. And now, a simple question in Scotts letter brought the whole ugly episode back to mind as though it were happening all over again.
A shiver ran over Kaitlin when she remembered the way Percy had pulled her toward him. Her hand went to her throat when she pictured the way his head had bent toward her before Seans words had stopped him.
Katie? Riggs voice caused Kate to start violently and then pull away from the hand Rigg had placed tenderly on her arm. She looked up into his confused face and thought she could never explain. He wouldnt want anything to do with her if he knew.
Katie, Rigg questioned her perceptively, what is in that letter you just read? Is your father hurt?
No.
Your aunt?
No. No one, Im just Just what? Kate asked herself, knowing that Rigg was waiting for an answer to his question.
Rigg watched the emotions run over Kates face. He was glad they were still inside the store because he had the strong impression she was about to run from him. After a short period of silence Rigg spoke softly.
Who is the letter from?
Scott.
Who lives in Hawaii?
Kate didnt even hear his question.
He wanted to know why we arent living in San Francisco. Kate hadnt meant to say that out loud.
If Rigg had been unaware of the reason shed left San Francisco hed have had no idea why Scotts question was so upsetting. As it was, he believed he knew exactly what was going through Kates mind.
Katie, theres something I want you to know. Sean told me why you left your aunts. Riggs words, though gently spoken, had a traumatic effect on Kaitlin. Most of the color drained from her face and her eyes dilated with hurt and betrayal.
He had no right. The words were choked out.
He needed to talk. He was very upset about your cousins actions and didnt think it had bothered you very much. He didnt feel he could come to you.
He didnt think it bothered me? Kate was astounded.
Thats what he said.
I guess Seans never done anything hes ashamed of or he would know why I never brought it up.
Kaitlin. Riggs voice was tenderness itself. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
I must have encouraged him. Tears filled her eyes and Rigg felt something akin to violence for this faceless cousin who haunted the woman he loved.
