I should have set my sights on Mt. Rainier. At least, once I’d climbed it, it would have been done. I never knew what I was going to do with Leander after we were married.”

“But you do know what you’ll do with Taggert?”

Houston looked back at her sister and smiled. “Oh, yes. I very much know what I’m going to do with him. I am going to make a home for him, a place where he’ll be safe, a place where I’ll be safe, where I can do whatever I want.”

Blair stood and it was her turn to clench her fists. “I guess you couldn’t have bothered to take two minutes to tell me this, could you? I have been through Hades in the last weeks. I have worried about you, spent whole days crying about what I’ve done to my sister, and here you tell me that you’re inlove with this King Midas.”

“Don’t you say anything against him!” Houston shouted, then calmed. “He’s the kindest, gentlest man and very generous. And I happen to love him very much.”

“And I have been through agony because I was worried about you. You should have told me!”

Houston idly ran her hand along the edge of the desk that sat in the middle of the room. “I guess I was so jealous of your love match that I didn’t want to think about you.”

“Love match?!” Blair exploded. “I think I’m Leander’s Mt. Rainier. I can’t deny that he does things to me physically, but that’s all he wants from me. We’ve spent days together in the operating room, but I feel there’s a part of Leander I don’t know. He doesn’t really let me get close to him. I know so little about him. He decided he wanted me, so he went after me, using every method he could to get me.”

“But I see the way you look at him. I never felt inclined to look at him like that.”

“That’s because you never saw him in an operating room. If you’d seen him in there, you would have—.”

“Fainted, most likely,” Houston said. “Blair, I am sorry that I didn’t talk to you. I probably knew that you were in agony, but what happenedhurt. I had been engaged to Leander for, it seemed to me, most of my life, yet you walked in and took him in just one night. And Lee was always calling me his ice princess, and I was so worried about being a cold woman.”

“And you’re no longer worried about that?” Blair asked.

The color in Houston’s cheeks heightened. “Not with Kane,” she whispered.

“You really do love him?” Blair asked, still not able to comprehend this fact. “You don’t mind the food flying everywhere? You don’t mind his loudness or the other women?”

Blair could have bitten out her tongue.

“Whatother women?” Houston asked, eyes narrowed. “And Blair, you’d better tell me.”

Blair took a deep breath. It would have been all right to tell Houston what she had seen before she’d married the man, but now it was too late.
