"Yes, we’ve had too many presents in the past, and I'm out of ideas now.Then I realized I haven’t gotten him any antiques yet."
Christina nodded and had a short chat with her before leaving and letting the young people spend time instead.
Barbara had tea with Maisie at a cafe nearby when Maisie remembered something and blurted, "I think I saw someone today."
Barbara asked, "Who?"
"Tan Summer."
Once the name came up, Barbara froze.
It had been a while, and she didn’t seem to remember much anymore.
"Where did you see him?"
"When I was on the way here.It was just a glance, but I felt he looked familiar." Maisie said that while her eyes were on Barbara’s face and chuckled.
"Why? Do you still have a thing for him?" Barbara rolled her eyes.
"Nonsense! If Helios hears this, he’s going to be so jealous."
"It’s fine then.It’s been so long.I thought you would feel bad if I mentioned him."
"No way!"
She didn’t feel bad, but there was regret in her heart because she liked him so much.
Maisie asked her, "Does Helios know about this?"
"No." Barbara held her teacup but didn’t drink.
"I never told him."
"Tell him before any misunderstandings begin.I just want to point out that he’s in Bassburgh." Maisie didn’t have any intentions of mentioning Ian other than wanting Barabara to accept her past.
Everyone was young once.
When Ian handed Glitz to her, he didn’t say goodbye to Barbara when he left.
Barbara must have felt some regret about that.
