“Katherine Picton despises the Ro of Dante”

Gabriel chuckled “Not everyone appreciates the Roold standard for decades He published in Gerlish”

“Yes” Gabriel wore a look of pride “Kelly tells me he was much loved at Columbia and well known for his charity work and his leadership in the Jewish community”

Julia’s eyebrows lifted “Why didn’t you know about hied his name, turned his back on Judaism, and didn’t speak of his family Kelly knew, of course She’s in touch with our cousins”

“Unfortunately, he died before she was born”

“I guess we knohere your passion for literature cahed “My interest in kosher sex is derived frorew serious “Learning about race of my visit”

Julia’s smile faded “What about your sisters?”

“Audrey won’t have anything to do with me Kelly is wonderful, but she views ri dad she remembers or the man who hit my mother?”

“Maybe he was both”

“Impossible”

Gabriel buried his face in her hair

“Why didn’t he want us?”

Julia’s heart clenched

“I think he wanted you, along with his other family That was the problem He wanted to have it all and he couldn’t Any failure on his part is his, not yours” She kissed Gabriel forcefully “Will you tell me more about your sister? Sopieces of it”

“I will, but can it wait? There’s so kosher I’d rather do instead” Gabriel rolled to his back, pulling her on top of him

“Let’s just stay here all day and have sex”

Gabriel sat at her feet, his eyes sparkling “Now that’s the Julianne I know and love But don’t you have a paper to finish?”

“I’d rather finish you” She crooked a finger

He was just about to pull the sheet frolanced at it

Then his eyes traveled to Julia’s

“Who is it?” she asked

Gabriel wore a sour expression “Your uncle Jack”
