Maisie was curious but didn’t ask anything. She went in and yelled something.
Kennedy put down his food and walked to the door. Samantha asked if he could speak with her, and he nodded.
Maisie watched them walk into the courtyard, and her curiosity was piqued. Ryleigh and Barbara immediately approached her, especially Ryleigh, who was very surprised. “Why is Aunt Samantha here?”
Maisie smiled and touched her chin. “Why can’t she be here? But what happened between Uncle Kennedy and Aunt Samantha?”
Samantha loved Sapphire and would come to visit her when she had time, yet she hadn’t been around a lot lately.
And looking at the two of them speaking outside but not knowing what they were talking about, the entire atmosphere felt weird.
Barbara put her arm over Ryleigh’s shoulder. “I think it’s best not to speculate. Let’s eat.”
Ryleigh agreed, and since she was hungry, it would be a good time to have a great meal.
Maisie stood there and took a few more glances when the two walked back.
The cold wind was blowing in the courtyard. Although Samantha was wearing a coat her face was pink from the cold. They were both quiet for a few minutes, and Samantha broke the silence. “I don’t know what’s on your mind. I might have misunderstood.”
Kennedy stared at her, intending to say something but stopped. Samantha put her hands in her pockets and revealed a sad smile while she lowered her face.
“It’s best if we don’t keep in contact. I can’t pretend I don’t see how good you are to me, but you’re a great man, and I’m a divorcee.
