It was early evening and Gemma sat on the swing chair on the side verandah that looked out across the wide expanse of the Glencoe estate. She’d had a long sleep in the afternoon and had awoken refreshed and with a new optimism. She’d dressed with care and was looking forward to dinner with Callum. She’d enjoyed the day, being with him, seeing her baby. She felt hopeful for the first time. Maybe, just maybe it would turn out okay.

Then she’d received the second postcard. Of course it was from Sarah. Who else would have sent it? But just the possibility that it was someone else, that it was Paul, sent a chill to her heart. No. It would have to be Sarah. She tapped the blank postcard she’d received that morning from Los Angeles. Still blank. Sarah clearly trusted no one with messages. What was she doing? Holidaying? It was strange that the intermittent postcards were coming closer to New Zealand. It surely didn’t mean she was going to come here and claim her inheritance? It wasn’t what she’d wanted, it wasn’t in keeping with her character.

Gemma’s musing were interrupted by the sound of a plane’s engine. She frowned.

“Miss Winters?”

She turned to find Maria standing by the door.

“Mr. Mackenzie wished me to tell you that he’s had to go to Wellington for a few days. He was looking for you this afternoon to tell you himself, but you were sleeping and he didn’t like to disturb you.”

Disappointment bit deep. She’d thought they’d made some ground today. It was the first time they’d spoken easily and she’d felt something of the old spark of warmth between them. She’d obviously been wrong.

“Thanks, Maria.”

“You’ll be requiring dinner in the dining room?”

She mustered up a weak smile. “No thanks. I’ll eat it here.”

“Certainly.” Maria left.

She walked to the edge of the verandah and looked out. Across the green oasis of the garden, the cropped pastures gave way to an arid sun-dried airstrip, just big enough for Callum’s plane. She watched it turn at the end of the valley and pick up speed for takeoff. The roar of the plane filled the valley.

Her husband-to-be was on that plane. And she hadn’t a clue when he was returning or who he was going to be with.

She hardly knew him. She certainly didn’t know the circles he moved in. Their own small part of the South Island was only a fraction of his world. There could very well be a woman, tucked away, awaiting his pleasure. Who was she? Was she important to Callum? Was she long term? And was he flying to be with her now?

She sighed. It wasn’t meant to have been this way. She looked away as the plane soared off into the sky and she took in a gulp of the fresh air overlaid with a waft of engine fuel. Well, if he was maintaining his independence, so damn well was she. She had a life to get on with. She watched a group of men, including Morgan, walk back to the stables and garages.
