supper. Darvi wondered when she would ever have an

excuse to speak to the man when she realized Seth was

addressing her.

"Were you speaking to me?" she asked to give herself

time to school her features.

"Yes." Seth looked amused. "Do you want pie?"

"Yes, please." Darvi took dessert for the first time,

wanting to be dose to Dakota for as long as possible.

Seth's gaze became rather hopeful. He took this as

another good sign. Darvi usually ate and started on the

dishes or disappeared into her room as soon as she was

through. He passed her a large slice of pie and then tried to

engage her in conversation, but she wasn't going for it.

"Are you upset with me about something?" he finally

asked.

"You know I am," Darvi said plainly. "I've never made

a secret of it."

"I mean other than the obvious."

"The obvious is all that matters to me right now," she

said quietly, not wanting to draw attention. A glance into

337

Seth's face told her that he wanted to say more but was hesitating.

She shouldn't have been surprised that he wanted

to speak with her almost as soon as the meal was over, but

surprised she was.

"I'm helping with the dishes," she explained.

"You help with them every day. I want to talk with

you."

"Go on, Darvi," Cassy urged her. Cleanup wasn't that

bad, and right now she didn't want Seth to be sad. She

didn't want anyone to be as sad as she was. If Q's death

could somehow open a door for Seth and Darvi, she would

be thrilled.

"Lindy can help me," she added. "You go on."

Darvi did so reluctantly. She laid her towel down and

preceded Seth out of doors.

"Walk this way," he directed and started toward the

woods. The last time she walked to the woods with him, he

tried to kiss her, but Darvi was not going to be caught out

338

this time. She kept her distance as well as a watchful eye.

"I've noticed that you've stopped asking me to let you

go," Seth began, making Darvi's mouth open in surprise

and then shut before he could notice. "I know you didn't

want to come here originally, but I guess I'm hoping mat

your silence means you're getting somewhat adjusted."

He stopped talking, and Darvi realized his head was

turned to look at her. He was doing it again, watching her

with such tender anxiety that Darvi was amazed. She

shook her head a little and tried to think.

"Seth," she began but got no further.

I'm going to have to tell him. I'm going to have to share my

belief and not worry if he tries to emulate it for the wrong reason.

"I can't give you any hope, Seth." Darvi put it on the

line. "I don't even know if I'm supposed to be married,

but--"

"Thaf s ridiculous," Seth cut in with quiet conviction,

"Do you have any idea how envied I am?"

Darvi blinked, not having expected this.

"Do you really not know how much you're meant to be

339

cherished, Darvi? If s so clear to me, I just assumed you

would understand."

"If s not that simple, Seth. I want to marry a man who

shares my beliefs."

"How do you know I don't?"

"Because you've -abducted me, Seth!" she said with

some heat.
