“Actually?”

Cassie leveled a glare on her sister. “Actually.”

“Inform me about him. How did you meet? Wait. Is he that fireman? Tammy informed me about him when she got here to choose up the boys.”

“He’s a firefighter. And he’s all the things to me.”

Her sister’s fork stopped mid-air and by no means reached her mouth. “You possibly can’t be severe. You simply met the man.”

“I’m very severe, and if we”—Cassie moved her fork between the 2 of them—“weren’t so busy combating, you’d learn about him.”

Jennifer stabbed a blueberry. “Inform me about him, then.”

Cassie’s chest squeezed a little bit. Partly simply because she cherished Mike and partly as a result of her sister was keen to pay attention.

Mike knew all her secrets and techniques and cherished her anyway.

“He’s probably the most fantastic man I’ve ever met and he loves me.” Saying the phrases made her imagine them much more. Mike did love her.

“For now, anyway.”

Irritation made Cassie’s muscle tissue tense. “Should you at all times be so discouraging?”

“Do you neglect there’s a phrase known as divorce? Without end doesn’t imply for- ever,” Jennifer mentioned with a shrug.

“It might probably. With the proper man.”

“Who’s to say there may be such a factor as the proper man?”

“Are you able to say you had the identical feeling for Ronnie that you simply declare to have for Eric now? You didn’t love your first husband.”

With a shrug, Jennifer stuffed extra pancake into her mouth.

“You’ve talked about you’d like to make things better with Eric. On the very least, make them higher so that you don’t lose him.”

A flash of discomfort flickered in Jennifer’s eyes.

“Take into consideration what I mentioned.” Cassie lifted her mug. “You possibly can have perpetually with Eric if that’s what you need. I would like perpetually. One among nowadays, I’ll be married.”

Jennifer choked on her meals. “What?” she gasped.

“You assume you have been the one one with marriage plans?” Cassie requested.

“You’re getting married?” Jennifer shouted.

“Decrease your voice.” Cassie may really feel the stares from the opposite patrons. “I’ll at some point.”

“How quickly?”

“Why? What’s mistaken with my desirous to get married?”

“Have you ever informed Mother?”

“I haven’t informed anybody. I haven’t been requested.”

“However you’re fascinated by it.”

“Look,” Cassie mentioned, inserting her mug on the desk and leaning ahead. “I’ve fallen in love. I’m loopy about Mike.”
