Twins for Christmas

       ‘Jamie?’

      The change in Rory was subtle, but Kate didn’t miss any of it. She’d had too much practice watching this man in the past. She saw what amounted to physical pain at hearing the wrong name. She could see the instant tension in his body, the shadow in his eyes, and it reminded her so strongly of the trouble he’d been in that night.

      She was no closer to understanding what it was all about, but—stupidly—she still wanted to help. She almost reached out to touch him. To convey that desire. What stopped her was seeing the fierce determination in his face. Confidence. So something had changed in the months he’d been gone. Whatever it was, and however hard it might be, Rory could deal with this by himself this time. He didn’t need her comfort.

      ‘Leave it, Kate,’ he said wearily. ‘It really is none of your business.’

      ‘Oh?’ The tension had been contagious, and Kate didn’t have access to whatever inner strength Rory had just tapped into.

      And, yes, the fantasy of seeing the dawning joy in his face on learning he was soon to be the father of twins was over-the-top, to say the least, but to reject her like this was unfair.

      Unacceptable, really.

      Maybe it wasn’t any of her business, but Kate could at least live up to her responsibilities. She could do what should have been done a long time ago.

      ‘It might be helpful if you could leave some kind of forwarding address the next time you decide to vanish,’ she said.

      ‘Why?’

      Kate’s smile was wry. ‘So that I can let you know when your children are born.’

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
