- About the Author
Ive been meaning to tell you, Katie, that Im sorry about the loss of your mother.
Thank you. I take it that Sean shared with you?
He was in a mood to talk our first night. I imagine it must be hard to have your father leave so soon afterward.
In some ways his leaving is harder than Mothers death. I know where Mother is, but with Father I can only guess. On our trip over, both he and Sean were so seasick they could hardly stand up. Mother and I took turns tending them but this trip, with him being all alone she didnt finish and Rigg knew she was fighting tears.
If everything went according to plan, is he in Hawaii now? Kate saw the question for what it was, a chance to collect herself.
Yes, he should be there. His plans when he left were to gather our belongings and return to San Francisco as soon as he could. If things really go smoothly, Im not sure hell get the letter. It could arrive after hes started back.
You really miss it dont you?
Not Hawaii so much as the people.
Is there someone special waiting for you in Hawaii? Rigg didnt know where the question came from and wished he could take it back. Im sorry, Katie, thats none of my business.
Dont be sorry, I dont mind. Kate hesitated and Riggs heart sank. There was a young man there, still is, who wanted to marry me, but I just never felt that strongly about him. He would make some girl a wonderful husband but I couldnt possibly marry because it was convenient. Could you? I mean, Id have to be in love.
I couldnt agree more. Even though it hurts the person whose feelings are stronger, it would be even worse to pretend you felt something that you didnt. Kate looked askance at Rigg as they talked.
What did I say?
Nothing, youre just different than I first thought.
I hope you mean its an improvement.
Now that would be telling. Kaitlin grinned impishly and side-stepped when he reached for her. The farm was in sight and she took off at a run. Rigg caught her in 20 strides and they walked toward the house.
You didnt really think to outrun me did you? he asked, with his hand on her arm. She laughed up at him and he desperately wanted to hold her, but must have kept his thoughts hidden because Kate was still smiling at him as if they were old friends.
Youd have never caught Marcail. Shes like lightning.
Ill keep that in mind when she starts to follow in the sassy footsteps of her sister.
Sassy! Kate was outraged and it was Riggs turn to run. They charged in the back door to find May grinning at them and telling them to wash for supper.
