- About the Author
Oh, Id probably rant and rave at him, May came close to Kate and smiled into her eyes, and ask him why he took so long.
Kaitlins jaw dropped in a most unfeminine way and May laughed. In the next instant the two women were hugging each other and laughing hard.
Can I get one of those hugs? Bill asked from the doorway and Kate watched in surprise, as May moved so that the table separated her and her husband. Bills brows rose, telling her hed accept her challenge if he had to.
No hugging in front of the children, May stated as primly as she could and Bill laughed. She allowed him to close the distance then and Kate watched unashamedly as they embraced. When she did go back to working on lunch, she did so thanking God for the special family Hed sent her way.

Kaitlin and Marcail lay on their stomachs in the haymow looking out the loft door to the yard below. Lunch was over and the girls were feeling lazy. They heard movement behind them and a moment later Sean flopped down on Kaitlins open side.
Did Burt Kemp really ask you to teach again? Sean wasted no time in asking the question that had been on his mind through lunch.
Full salary.
He did? Marcail asked, wondering where she had been all the time this was going on.
What will you do? Sean wanted to know.
You cant teach here in Santa Rosa, Katie. Father will probably want us to live with Aunt Maureen.
This was something shed already thought of but hadnt bothered to mention to her sister.
It would be easier to leave the mercantile than it would the school if Father came back, Sean stated logically. But if you plan to make Santa Rosa your permanent home then you need to be discussing with Rigg where you should work.
Two in one day, Kate thought.
She wondered if Rigg had been telling people something that he should have discussed with her first.
You know better, Kaitlin, she immediately said to herself. The way he feels about you is written on his face, for all the world to see.
I want us to be together, Marcail said after a moment.
Sean and Kaitlin would have been surprised if Marcail hadnt understood the gist of their conversation, so they made no pretense in front of her as they continued to talk.
Marc, Sean began, do you understand whats happening between Katie and Rigg?
They love each other.
Right. And thats how it should be. We dont know when Father is coming back but we do know that until then, well be together. If Kate marries Rigg, and Father is still gone, then well still be here in Santa Rosa. Shes not going to ship us off to San Francisco by ourselves. Isnt that right, Katie?
