Until Spring (2015)
“Curious and wondering if it was for her, she investigated and discovered from the sales slip tucked under the bow that the package was from Alice Beasley's shop.
No doubt the package was the dress that Duncan had picked up to bring back to Mary Kate. Jane had assumed that he had already given it to her.
"Duncan," she called when he passed the door of the room. "I thought you'd already given this to Mary Kate." He stopped, leaned against the door, and looked down at the floor. "Well, I didn't," ...he said sheepishly after a moment or two. "I thought it would be best if you did. When you came back." "How did you know I would?" she asked in surprise.
"I didn't. But I was hoping," he said. He crossed the floor and kissed the top of her head.
She turned and circled her arms around his torso. How well they fitted! She was still glorying in their physical proximity when he said, "Look out the window. You're going to have a chance to give Mary Kate the present right away." Outside, Mary Kate was working her way along the tamped-down snow path from Rooney's house.MoreLess
