The man spoke to her again, and shame filled her when it hit her that she had subjected her infants to nearly making the worst possible mistake of her life. No, it HAD been the worst mistake just in going to Gretna Green in the first place! Her babies did not deserve the shame… Without looking up, she gave a quiet reply, “Three months.”
Ugh, how could she have done such a thing? Her cheeks felt hot.
And now there was a man sitting across from her and she was traveling with her twin babes, what must he think of her? What must anyone be thinking of her? Her eyes still did not meet his, though they did drift wearily and froze upon seeing the hat. She dragged her gaze upward and was startled by the white hair. He was as light as Harold had been dark.
It took her a few moments to realize that she had been holding her breath. She quickly shifted her eyes back upon the window, wanting to shrink into the seat so very badly.
