Water Lily (2008)
“When they neared the pond, Darby asked, “Should we try to find Honi before it gets dark?”
“Nope,” he said curtly.
Darby didn’t ask what Cade was thinking and, at first, she didn’t share her own thoughts, even though her mind was churning and full.
She wanted to tell Cade he could not leave ‘Iolani Ranch. He’d be leaving them shorthanded. He’d be giving up his study of paniolo ways. It would make her grandfather sad. It would be like throwing Jonah’s affection and protection back in his face, ev...en if Jonah understood why Cade was going.
“Jonah would miss you,” Darby said.
“Same here,” Cade snapped, then he extended Joker’s trot so that Hoku was no longer even with the Appaloosa’s shoulder but with his rump.
And Darby couldn’t see Cade’s face.
“Huh.” She breathed out a mix of frustration and admiration.
A few minutes later, she began wondering if there was another reason Cade would consider moving—something besides his longing to reconnect with his mother.MoreLess
