He stood in the foyer in the exact spot Craig used to stand and clapped his hands. “Wow. That was beautiful.” Carolyn came out from the kitchen. Her white blouse had a splash of sauce on the front. “I didn't expect you home,” she said and popped up on her tippy toes to kiss him. “Speaking of beautiful.” Mark wrapped his arm around her waist and held her there while he deepened the kiss. Allie felt her cheeks heat and whipped her head around to face the piano. Leah made a gagging noise while Allie hopped up and took her seat in the chair. “Now you give it a try.” Leah puffed out her cheeks, placed her fingers on the keyboard, and slowly began sight reading the piece. Allie kept time with a pat on her leg while her mind drifted back to the scene she'd just witnessed in the foyer. They were so in love. Mark, with his bright blonde hair and sunny personality, seemed to shine all of his light on dark and unsure Carolyn. The woman seemed to glow under his adoration. How could Craig not want what his brother had for himself?
