see the inside of the house,” Ethan said. “Multiple French doors, high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout.”
“How many bedrooms do you have?” she asked. “I’m sure it has to be four or five.”
“Actually, I have six bedrooms and five baths. There is also a two-story guest cottage in the back with two bedrooms.”
“I told you there was another place in the back, remember?”
Ethan smiled. “You were right.”
“I hope you’ll give me a tour of the house. I’ve wanted to see inside for so many years... I can’t believe you bought our place.” Jordin gave a short laugh. “I guess it’s just your place now.”
“When I found that it was for sale—I felt like it was a sign that I should buy it.”
“I’m so glad you did, Ethan.” Jordin said with a smile.
Their gazes met and held.
“Okay, so why don’t we address the elephant in the room?”
He chuckled. “Same Jordin. You won’t give up until you have all of the answers.”
“That’s because you’ve always done a pretty good job of keeping secrets. I just thought that we had gotten way beyond that.”
“I wasn’t trying to keep secrets from you, Jordin. I just didn’t want you knowing just how terrible things were for me at home.”
“Ethan, that’s what I don’t get,” she murmured. “Why not? We were best friends. I used to tell you everything.”
“You are a DuGrandpre. I didn’t think you could understand what I was dealing with.”
“My family isn’t perfect, Ethan.”
“They were as near perfect as I could imagine.” Ethan paused a few seconds before continuing. “I’m sure you heard rumors about my mother.”
