Judith E French
“It was two days before Christmas, and Shane had been gone a week and a half. She hadn’t looked for him to return from Saint Louis until yesterday, but now with the weather getting colder, she was beginning to worry about his safety.
Why had she argued with him about the children’s Christmas presents? If only she’d known that Shane was short of money. He’d said as much, but she hadn’t understood that in America land didn’t mean money. She hoped that her mistake hadn’t prompted him to go to Saint... Louis to take out a loan on Kilronan or something equally as foolish.
Married eight years and they knew so little about each other. Had she and Shane been together from the time of their wedding, they would have smoothed out the wrinkles in their personalities by now—or at least they would have come to accept each other’s eccentricities.
She wondered if they’d ever bridge the chasm of mistrust between them, or if Cerise’s memory would fade. Shane had said that he had the woman’s blood on his hands but that he hadn’t killed her.MoreLess
