“Well, I figured what with having no kids and no man, I might as well shock and appall the local peacocks some more with my progressively horrific gardening,” Claire said, sticking her tongue out.
“Please. These biddies only understand roses and those roses better be pink. You know that.”
“I do,” Claire said noncommittally, taking a sip of her drink.
“So?” Clarissa pressed, her beautiful brown eyes boring right into Claire’s soul.
“I promised mama.”
“Ah. What did you promise, exactly?” Clarissa asked, some of her joy dimming a tiny bit.
“That I’d try to be happy and I’d try new things.”
“New things like the Greenville Home Garden Extravaganza? Wilcox and Adley will demolish you for getting rid of mama’s rose garden, you know.”
“That’s what mama said too.”
“Well, we’re both genuinely intelligent women, dear sister,” Clarissa said, grinning.
Claire smirked. Yes, all of the Delune women were bright as hell and for some of them, that had caused a lot of trouble. A real Southern woman had to be dainty, sophisticated and accommodating in all things. Claire had never wanted to be all that sophisticated and she could only accommodate so much ignorance before she could feel a vein popping in her head. She’d rather get down and dirty with some gardening and landscaping than make finger sandwiches and have tea.
While that sounded like it would sit just right with plenty of local gentlemen, that had yet to be proven true. After a few disappointing run-ins with men barely worthy of the title, she’d just about given up on mankind altogether. If it weren’t for the pesky problem of needing one to start a family, she would have wiped her hands clean of them altogether. That realization was pounded into her all the more clearly whenever she saw one of her younger brothers or sisters, all of them already the proud parents of at least one happy, rosy-cheeked offspring.
“I’d like to think I am as well, but I am at the end of my wits here, I think.”
“What do you mean?” Clarissa asked, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead.
“I think I need to leave Greenville.”
As soon as Claire said those words, she knew she was right. There was nothing in Greenville or Georgia in general for her anymore. Not since her mother’s passing, anyway. She had devoted the last seven years of her life to taking care of her ailing mother and now with her gone, she found herself as directionless as she’d ever been. She needed something new. Something real. And she wasn’t entirely sure what that could be.
Well, maybe she had a few ideas, but they were just crazy…
“Shut your mouth!” Clarissa yelped, grinning. “Finally!”
Claire cocked a brow at her sister, who was almost clapping as she was bouncing up and down so damn enthusiastically.
“What do you mean finally !?”
“Oh, we’ve been waiting for you to discover that you could have a life for years now. Me and Dan would have taken care of mama with or without your help. And she always wanted you to go out and actually find some happiness, which is something you seem to be completely reluctant to do for reasons far beyond me. I think it’s a fantastic idea. Where are you going to go?”
Claire smiled, shaking her head. Figures that her sister would be more excited about the prospect of picking up and leaving the only life she’d ever known more than Claire herself was. Or, well, it wasn’t so much lack of excitement
