Tender Love (2000)
““Kristin, I thought you were in bed asleep,” Mark said. “It’s too late for you to be up.”
Kristin jumped out of her chair and came forward. “We saw you,” she said, tears sparkling in her eyes. “You were kissing.”
Mark squatted beside Kristin and tried to take her in his arms, but she jerked away from him.
“If we were ashamed of what we were doing, we wouldn’t have been in full view of the house. You’ll probably see us kissing quite often—we’re going to be married.”
“No,” Kristin shouted. “You’r...e already married—to my mother.” She turned on Alice. “You’re trying to steal our daddy away from us.”
Had she heard this from Ethel? Alice wondered.
“At least you could have had the decency to wait a year or so,” Gran said angrily. “You should honor the memory of my granddaughter, rather than take up with a servant in your house.”
Alice couldn’t believe this scene was real. She would awaken soon and find it was all a dream. She sank into a chair, feeling like a traitor to leave Mark to deal with them alone, but she couldn’t speak in her own defense.MoreLess
