John gawked at me for a moment, collecting his thoughts before he spoke. “Mother always told me that souls are never given the person they desire, because they emerge with the person they are meant for. Perhaps time with him will be a gift for you, turning your doubts into your desires.”

John’s words struck me harder than Thomas’s closed fist could ever have dreamt. They consumed me like a disease spreading through my body, eating away at any happiness it could find and sucked the breath from my lungs with one crushing blow. For the first time, the thought of a world lived through Thomas’s ice blue eyes scared me, like a punishment of harsh exile.

Fear pounded down upon me. Could John be right?

“Did you mean what you said to Mary this afternoon?” I asked, trying to distract myself.

He snorted. “Yes. If Duncan portrays the type of man she loves, I know why she never loved me.”

“I believe she loved you once.”

“I don’t care if she did. Her feelings don’t matter to me now.” He shrugged and adjusted my feet in his lap.

“I find your sudden disinterest for Lady Buchanan deceptive,” I teased.

He smiled for a second, and then frowned. “Perhaps, in time, I’ll come to love another. I believe Rhode Island will be good for me. I need to rid myself of this town until I have to return, of course.”

“I don’t believe you have to travel to find love. I believe love is right under your nose. You simply need to see it, or perhaps acknowledge you have and embrace it. I know you visit her often.”

“And who exactly am I visiting?” he snapped.

“John, you shouldn’t be ashamed of your feelings for Maggie.”
