      So polite, but so had been Darren…at first. “I really should get to bed.”

      “I know, but I only want a few minutes.”

      Maura made her way to the table and sat down. “Is there a problem?”

      “That’s what I want to know, Maura. Did I do something to upset you? I mean, if it bothers you to have me at the dinner table, I can eat in the cottage.”

      “No, of course not. You’ve been so generous letting us stay here. I mean, you could have insisted we leave.”

      He shook his head, blue eyes piercing into hers. “I couldn’t do that.” He took a breath. “I don’t want to pry, Maura, but it’s obvious that you’ve had some hard times. I don’t want to make them worse. So you take your time. I promise I won’t get in your way.” The chair scooted against the worn floor when he stood. Then he headed out the back door.
