Did you cancel or did he?” Josie opened her mouth, but Susan cut her off. “If he canceled, I’ll give him a piece of my mind. That’s what he first told me, you know. That he was the one who’d backed out. But I found that so hard to believe. I mean, he’s so conscientious and he did promise me.” “I canceled.” Susan’s frown was fierce. “I don’t suppose I’ll ever know the full truth, will I? You’re both telling such different stories. But never mind that.” She sat across from Josie and stared her in the eye. Josie almost winced. She knew that sign of determination when she saw it. “You have to give him a chance, Josie. He’s different from the rest. He’s…wonderful.” Josie stared at the limp lettuce in her salad. She didn’t have an appetite, hadn’t had one all day. All she could do was think of Bob and miss him and wonder what he was doing right now, what he’d say tomorrow when he learned she wasn’t the woman he thought her to be.
