CHAPTER TWELVE

After the performance, Morgan went straight home without speaking to Brian again. Grams, Paige and Emily came in a bit later, while Rachel and Charlotte had gone back to their own house.

Despite having run a major island performance tonight, Ava didn’t seem to be tired at all as she bustled about, putting together a plate of homemade cookies for everyone. Emily made a pot of tea, while Paige looked over the digital pictures of the performance.

Morgan sat at the kitchen table and booted up her laptop to deal with her overflowing email inbox. Unfortunately, after a few minutes she realized she wasn’t going to make much of a dent in her email, not when she couldn’t stop thinking about Brian…and the kisses they’d shared tonight.

Kisses that she’d wanted to go on forever and forever.

Kisses that were even sweeter than they’d been in her memory.

“Morgan?” Emily waved her arms in the air. “Earth to Morgan.”

She looked up from her computer screen. “Hmm?”

“I asked if you want tea.”

“Yes, please.”

When Grams sat down opposite her, Morgan said, “The performance tonight was great.”

“It was,” her grandmother agreed. “Paige is so good with the students.”

Paige smiled at the compliment, but said, “I just give them the tools to work it out for themselves and maybe point them in the right direction a couple of times when they get stuck.”

“You always make it sound easier than it is,” Morgan said, smiling at her soft-spoken sister. “But, seriously, my hat’s off to both of you. I really had a great time watching the performance tonight.”

“I’m glad to hear it,” Ava said. “Although I did wonder why you switched seats partway through.”

Morgan had been hoping that no one but Emily would notice and try to give her advice. After all, she’d been ignoring well-meaning advice from her big sister all her life. But Grams was a different matter.

Ava held her own counsel much of the time and usually let them figure things out for themselves…which meant that when she did offer advice, it was impossible to ignore. In fact, Morgan sometimes felt like she’d been able to leave the island only because Grams hadn’t spoken out against it. Morgan suspected that Ava had even talked to her father, letting him know just how much Morgan needed to be set free to find her own way.

“It was nothing, Grams,” she said, but every syllable she spoke was clearly a big fat lie. One that she hadn’t been trying to tell herself for just three days, but for seven years.

“Now, Morgan,” Ava said, “it’s obviously something, especially since I can see that you’re upset. What is it, dear? What had you running down to sit with your sister halfway through the show like that?”

Morgan knew there was no point in trying to pretend anymore when her grandmother and two sisters already seemed to know what she was trying not to tell them. “It’s Brian.” She lifted her hand to her lips without thinking. “He kissed me. Or I kissed him.
