I thought I knew all my best friend’s secrets, especially the ones involving my family. But when she pulled me aside with tears in her eyes, I realized she’d been hiding something far more serious.
“Promise me you won’t tell Killian what I’m about to say.”
My best friend, Katherine, grabbed my wrist so tightly that I nearly dropped my champagne!
We were standing outside her wedding reception. Through the window, I could see my older brother, Killian, laughing with our father.
I nearly dropped my champagne!
Three weeks earlier, Katherine had announced she was marrying him.
Now, she looked terrified!
“Kat, unless you’re secretly married to someone else, I think we’ve survived the worst surprise.”
She didn’t laugh; she whispered, “Piper, I didn’t marry him because he’s sick. You deserved to know the truth.”
My stomach tightened.
She looked terrified!
My friend glanced toward the window. “Something happened years ago. Killian knows about it, but there’s something I’ve never been able to ask him.”
“Are you pregnant?”
“No!”
“Does he owe you money?”
“Piper!”
“Then stop looking like you’re about to confess to stealing a kidney!”
“Are you pregnant?”
She took a breath. “There’s a letter.”
Before I could ask another question, Killian appeared. “There you are,” he said to Kat. “I thought you’d escaped.”
“Still considering it.”
“Too late. I have the marriage certificate.”
“And I have your credit card.”
He grinned.
I stared at them.
“There’s a letter.”
My best friend and my brother had spent nearly 20 years acting like they couldn’t stand each other.
Now, they were married.
