Marrying a Delacourt (2000)
“To Michael’s astonishment, right after an early dinner, they agreed without protest to go upstairs to take baths and go to bed.
They were almost out the kitchen door when Josh turned and ran back to enfold Grace in a hug. Clearly startled by the gesture, she stood totally still for an instant before allowing her hand to come to rest on the boy’s head.
Michael watched the play of emotions on her face—surprise, sorrow, yearning—and wondered for the first time if he had dragged her into the middle... of something that she wasn’t emotionally equipped to handle. As usual, he’d selfishly thought only of his own desperation when he’d called her. He hadn’t stopped for a second to consider what becoming involved with the boys might do to Grace.
Despite her tough demeanor as a lawyer, he knew better than anyone how tenderhearted Grace really was, how easily bruised her feelings could be. He also knew just how badly she had once wanted a family of her own, how much she had envied him his large collection of relatives.MoreLess
