“I still find it hard to believe that you could be jealous of Sabrina.” But then he appeared thoughtful and added, “That wasn’t the only time you became jealous of her, was it?” She blushed. “No, it happened again when I kept seeing Duncan with her, but I thought he was merely trying to make me jealous.”

“And?”

“Oh, very well, also when I kept seeing you with her. So, yes, I was jealous that day I told you it looked like you and she were—”

“You needn’t go into that again.”

“Very well, but since you’ve brought this up, I’m going to tell you why I didn’t want to discuss Sabrina. Because I have very mixed feelings about her. When I’m not in the midst of a jealous snit over the girl, I actually like her.”

“That’s understandable. Everyone likes Sabrina.”

She raised a brow at him when he didn’t add to that. “You’re not going to finish that statement and remind me that everyone doesn’t like me?”

He grinned at her. “Actually, m’dear, that wouldn’t be a true statement anymore, so, no, I can no longer say it.”

She started to blush, sure that he was talking about himself, that he no longer disliked her. But he added, “My aunt has grown quite fond of you.”

She wasn’t sure why she felt hurt, but she quickly shook it off and said, “You’ve missed the point I was making. Everyone else I’ve become jealous of, I don’t like. Sabrina is the only one I do like. So each time I got jealous of her, I felt as if I were betraying her, which made it quite worse. But as soon as the jealousy would pass, I’d chide myself for being so silly, and I’d be back to liking her. Quite unusual feelings for me.”

“Not unusual a’tall.”

“That might be the case for other people, but for me, this was very unusual,” she insisted.

“Perhaps you were still hoping you and she could be friends.”

“I don’t think there is any perhaps about that. I did still think we could be real friends, and I still found myself wanting to help her.”

“When did she need help?”

“When it looked like she was making too much of Duncan’s interest in her.”

“His interest was quite real.”

“I know that now,” Ophelia said impatiently, “but at the time, how the deuce was I supposed to figure out that they were falling in love with each other? I told her that Duncan kissed me at the inn the day I met him there to apologize to him.”

“A lie.”

“Indeed, but just a minor one, intended to keep her from being hurt, not hurt her.”

“As it happens, I was going to bring up a few of your lies. That was one of them.” She rolled her eyes. “Why does that not surprise me? And the others?”

“There’s just one other that I know about.”

“Not a long list? I thought you were better prepared than that.”

“Are we getting angry this soon?”
