- About the Author
Sean, thats not true, Kate told him urgently. Ive never blamed you. And I didnt know until Rigg said something that you were that upset by what happened. Kates voice faded on these last words. Brother and sister stared at each other. After a time Sean moved next to Kaitlin who sat on the sofa. Kate put her head against Seans arm and sobbed. Through her tears she shared every awful thing shed been feeling. From feeling badly about leaving Aunt Maureen to wishing she had no figure at all to be attracted to.
Rigg entered into the conversation when he felt a need and even though both Donovans were completely spent in the process, an hour later all was out in the open.
There was no longer any guilt between them or even anger toward their selfish cousin. The three of them would probably have talked all night if Kate hadnt noticed the time.
Weve got to get Marc.
I can go get her, Rigg offered. Sean thanked him and said he would stay home, but Kate said she was in need of some air and went with him in the wagon. Rigg knew that shed had a painful evening but there was one thing he needed to know. As the wagon moved toward his folks the setting sun bathed them in an orange glow. He couldnt think of a better time or place to ask her.

I want to thank you Rigg, for giving Sean and me the push we needed to start talking. I dont know if we ever would have and, well, just thanks.
Youre welcome. Im sorry it was so hard for you. Ill be praying that God continues to heal the hurt for you Katie, and if you ever want to talk, just find me.
I need to ask you something Kate. Rigg went on. Would you rather I didnt question you tonight?
No, I dont mind.
Its a couple of things actually. Do I remind you of your cousin Percy?
No! Kate said so vehemently that Rigg couldnt hold his laughter, some of which was relief.
Why did you ask that? Kate inquired.
Because Im hoping well grow closer than we are now and if I remind you of Percy then Im going to repulse you. I dont want to do that.
There, Rigg thought, its out in the open. Youll certainly know in the next few seconds if the door is still open with this woman or not.
You dont repulse me. The words were said so softly that Rigg almost missed them. But hear them he did and they gave him courage to ask his next question. He did so without looking at Kaitlin.
Ive also been wondering if I upset you when I kissed you? I didnt ask your permission to do such a thing and I want to apologize if I need to.
