“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.

Houston advanced on her sister. “If you even consider managing my life again as you did today at the altar, I’ll never speak to you again. I am an adult, and you know something aboutmy husband, and I want to know what it is.”

“I saw him in the garden kissing Pamela Fenton just before the wedding,” Blair said all in one breath.

Houston whitened a bit, but she seemed to be under control. “But he came to me anyway,” she whispered. “He saw her, kissed her, but he married me.” A brilliant smile lit her face. “Blair, you have made me the happiest woman alive today. Now, all I have to do is find my husband and tell him that I love him and hope that he will forgive me.” She stopped suddenly. “Oh, Blair, you don’t know him at all. He’s such a good man, generous in a very natural way, strong in a way that makes people lean on him, but he’s…” She buried her face in her hands. “But he can’t stand embarrassment of any kind, and we’ve humiliated him in front of the entire town. He’ll never forgive me. Never!” Blair started toward the door. “I’ll go to him and explain that it was all my fault, that you had nothing to do with it. Houston, I had no idea you really wanted to marry him. I just couldn’t imagine anyone wanting to live with someone like him.”
