“These are fabulous!” Tamsyn squealed, her face brightening. “Have you shown Cade and Cathleen?”

“Not yet. I’ve got an appointment to see them and their restaurant staff later this afternoon.”

Isobel leaned back in the chair at Tamsyn’s office desk, and watched the slideshow of shots she’d done to date for The Masters new catalog as they slipped across her computer screen. She couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of pride in the quality of the work she’d done here. Despite Ethan’s remark about mall photos and grumpy babies and toddlers, she felt she did her best work featuring people, and she’d tried to incorporate that here within the guidelines set by Tamsyn and the marketing team.

Even the shots of Raif and his father, tending vines in the distance in what were indisputably her best landscape shots ever, still lent that personal family touch. The body language between the men spoke volumes as to their relationship and how close they were, how much respect they tendered for one another. Of course a lot of the art of that was lost on most people, but it still gladdened her heart to see that she’d captured it, even if from a distance.

Had Ethan and his father been like that? she wondered.

“I love that one.” Tamsyn interrupted her reveries. “I know it’s the vineyard and all that and the way the sun’s dropping over the hills looks fantastic, but I really see Raif and Uncle Edward in that shot. Can we crop it around them more?”

“Sure,” Isobel agreed and hit the necessary keys. “Like this?”

“Yeah. Any chance I could have a print of that? I reckon Uncle Edward and Aunt Marianne would love it.”

“No problem. I’ll put the image on a CD for you and you can have it printed any way you want it.” To Isobel’s surprise, a look of sadness washed across Tamsyn’s face. “Tam? Are you okay?”

Tamsyn gave her a watery smile. “Just missing my dad, I guess.”

“That’s only natural.”

“His death was so sudden, it took all of us by surprise. And now it’s just me and Ethan, I feel like I need to hold on to something, you know? We’ve lost that connection in our lives,” she said, gesturing to the cropped photo on the screen. “I don’t want to lose it completely by forgetting a thing about Dad. I’ve tried to talk to Ethan but he won’t even discuss him at all. It’s like now he’s gone, for Ethan, he’s really gone. End of story, move on. Dad was the same way, when it came to our mom. I was so little when she died that I barely have any memories of her at all. And now we’ve lost them both, I...I just wish I had more of them to hold on to.”

Tears spilled over her lower lashes and traced silver streaks down Tamsyn’s face. Isobel pushed out of her chair and pulled the other woman into her arms, rocking her silently. She felt Tamsyn’s grief like a sword in her gut.
