A Ring for Rosie. Maggie WellsЧитать онлайн книгу.
siblings almost always found their way back to each other. Rosie had watched her sisters and cousins play a lifelong round robin of “I’m not speaking to her” and “He’s dead to me,” only to end up laughing and cutting up at the next family function. But Mike was caught between the sister he’d protected his whole life and one of his best friends.
“I know.” She let him off the hook. And by proxy, James, too. But she wasn’t saying so aloud. “I know.”
“Rosie, you know we love you. We need you. But if you need time…well...”
When she looked up, she met his gaze directly. “Do you want me to leave?”
“God, no,” he answered with gratifying speed. “I was thinking a vacation.”
“Then shut up and go back to work.”
Mike drummed out a riff on the counter in front of her computer. “Yes, boss.”
He turned and walked back to his office, his shoulders still hunched up around his ears, and Rosie felt a spurt of hate so vile, so vicious she was surprised the acid alone didn’t incinerate her internal organs. Megan did this. Hurt Mike. And James. She’d hurt those boys. Those delightfully mischievous boys who picked dandelions for her to put in a cup on her desk, then gleefully emptied the confetti from the three-hole-punch all over the carpet.
“Rosie?” She turned to find him framed in his doorway. “Thanks.” He closed the door behind him silently.
Pursing her lips, she turned back to her computer, placed her left hand on the keyboard and her right on her mouse, and stared hard at the blinking cursor, her jaw set with determination. “You are welcome.” She began to type. Without pausing, she shot a glance at James’s office door. “Others, not as much.”
