That simple gesture made her freeze.
Her lips parted with a tiny gasp…a breathless sob wrapped in stunned joy.
Her hands flew up to her mouth, eyes wide and glistening. "She is alive…? Oh my God, my sister is alive,Kieran?Really? " She laughed, for just the split of a second. A light, trembling laugh. "I…I thought she was gone forever…How? How is this possible?I watched that boatsink…I held her bracelet…the last thing I could save…before…before I buried her memory!"
Then her gaze dropped.
Her fingers ghosted over the embroidery on his wedding robe. She touched it like it burned her.
Realization seeped back in, slow…venomous.
Autumn's smile died.
Her body went cold.
"You are… you are wearing this because…?" She blinked at him, blinking faster, as if trying to erase what she was seeing.
He did not answer.
She stepped back.The tears came too fast.
