CHAPTER EIGHT

Tracy didn’t really know what she felt; or, rather, she didn’t feel anything at all. A numbness settled over her while a rational voice warned her that there was certainly nothing between Leif and her mother. But it still bothered her deeply. They knew one another well and had known one another for years. Just what had been the subject of that secret conversation in which Leif had looked like a tiger, batting at cornered but protected prey, and her mother had appeared like a little temptress trying to wile her way out of… something?

For a moment she wished that a great hole would open up in the earth and swallow them all. But then she felt a quickening sensation sweep through her—something so strong that she paused, gripping the wall as she blindly headed toward the kitchen.

She was with Leif again—sharing his room, sharing his life—and though the obstacles before them were tremendous, she believed with all her heart that he cared for her.

And she knew that none of her memories were faulty. He was unique and special to her. The sight of his lean naked body, glowing and golden as he moved, stirred her, and when he came to her she really knew what love meant—what it meant to be held…

To be a woman, and have a man. To be loved.

She drew in a ragged breath and started walking again, drawn by the delicious smell of brewing coffee. She paused once she had entered the huge old colonial kitchen with its window loveseat, hanging racks of copper pots, and center butcher-block island. Katie was there, working cheerfully over the stove while she gave instructions to a gardener.

The man tipped his hat to Katie, nodded an acknowledgment to Tracy, and went on out back. Katie turned around and gave a brilliant smile, left her pot of simmering eggs, and poured Tracy a mug of coffee—black.

“Good morning! You’re an early riser, too, so it seems, Miss Kuger.”

“Too?” Tracy smiled back weakly, glad that Katie could be so natural to her—not as if she had never known her before, but as if nothing that had happened had been… humiliating. She was suddenly certain that Leif had forewarned Katie about the events now taking place—a wise move, since it enabled Katie to be perfectly natural about her appearance here, since she was supposedly “living with” Leif.

“Your brother’s up—he’s out in the parlor. Open the western door and you’ll hear him!”

Tracy arched a brow and Katie laughed. “Go on through, dear. Breakfast will be ready in about thirty minutes—buffet style in the dining room, since people will be coming and going at different times.”

Tracy thanked her and went on through the door that led to the front of the house. As soon as she opened the door, she heard Jamie. He was sitting at the piano, idly playing.

She came in and leaned against the shiny black Steinway, smiling at him. He returned her grin, but didn’t speak at first. He sang out an old English pub ditty that Tracy knew, too—one of her father’s favorite old bawdy tunes.
