“This isn’t really about the dog anyway,” Georgia reminded her softly, “and we both know it”

Laura’s gaze flicked to her sister’s, and she braced herself She didn’t want to talk about this

But Georgia was too stubborn to let it go

“You can’t bla he didn’t even know about”

“I’h a part of her did, as ridiculous as that sounded “I’m really not Ronan’s in the past, that’s all That affair of ours had an expiration date sta in”

“Doesn’t have to be over,” her sister suggested

“I’m not the one who ended it, remember?”

When Georgia would have argued, Laura spoke up fast “He’s not here forever, Georgia He’s going back to Ireland and we both know it Well, I live here And besides all of that, ant different things Move in different worlds It’s just…doomed”

“And you’re not going to tell hiht to know?”

“Maybe he does” Laura shifted her gaze to the trees outside and watched the last few yellowing leaves flutter in the wind before snapping free of the branches and flying off in a twisting dance Rain pelted from the sky in a burst and tapped at the panes like iainst a table

Funny, their mother had always hated fall and winter She’d actually called autu until suain Funny that she’d chosen to ht of that in years Now, it seely apt

Because in this Death of Hope season, she was finally accepting that what she had had with Ronan was over Finished Hope was ridiculous when there was absolutely no reason for it

Turning her gaze back to her sister’s, Laura said, “What point is there in telling him that I miscarried his baby?”

“You said it yourself,” her sister pointed out gently “It was his baby Maybe that’s point enough”

But it wouldn’t change anything, Laura thought And what if she told him and he didn’t care? She didn’t think she wanted to find out what Ronan’s reaction would have been to al a father
