Little Love Affair (Southern Romance Series, #1) (2015)
““Cecelia?” she whispered finally. She could hardly believe that this young woman was her sister, but from the pointed little chin to the warm brown eyes, it could be no one else. There were leaves stuck to her skirt and her face was flushed.
“He was going to hurt Solomon,” Cecelia said blankly, as if the choice was self-evident.
Clara gave a disbelieving laugh. “Oh, my darling. Were you here all along?”
“Yes.” Cecelia’s voice was small. “I saw Cyrus coming up the hill, and...I knew Solomon was here.”
“You knew?” Solomon demanded.
“I wanted to know why Clara kept coming up here.” Cecelia’s chin came up. “I saw Jasper coming up here every day too—but you stopped.” Her eyes found Clara’s. “You stopped, and you were so sad. So I came up here and I saw Solomon, and the uniform. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Solomon looked away, a hand over his eyes, and Clara twisted her hands together. Rage washed over her again and she was helpless in the face of it.
