“ROSE, I MUST ask you something,” Phillip said.
It was now or n
ever.
“That is why we are here, sir,” she said.
“Promise to be truthful?”
“It is not I who has a history of lying.”
Good point. Best settle the past before moving on. He stopped and took her gloved hands. “Rose, I was very sorry to have been the bearer of that sad news three years ago.”
“You were not the bearer, you were the instigator.”
“Your sister’s death was an accident.”
“While you chased her out of the country!”
Keeping his voice low and steady required effort. “She and your uncle were spies. It was my duty to stop them.”
“Was it your duty to romance me to find information about them, as well?”
That broke his tension. “Ah, Rose, that was never my duty. It was utterly my pleasure.”
