Silver Linings (2015)
“I don’t know when I’d had a more emotional day than Saturday had been. Naturally, my head was full of Mark and what I knew of his determination to save his friend. Every time I tried to sleep I felt his presence as strongly as if he were in the room with me.
I would always remember the look in his eyes as he said good-bye. He knew then what I didn’t—how dangerous what he was about to do was going to be. Oh, how I’d misread him. I’d been so wrapped up in my own sense of loss that I’d missed the ...anguish Mark must have been experiencing. If only he’d been comfortable enough to share his past with me instead of leaving it to Bob Beldon.
In retrospect I understood why he hadn’t explained his reasons, although I wished he’d had more faith in me. But knowing me as well as he did, he was probably right to hold back. I would have done anything within my power to persuade him not to leave Cedar Cove.
The evening had been complicated by the disastrous dinner date. It’d been a huge mistake to ever agree to go out with Gina’s future brother-in-law.MoreLess
