A look passed between the women before they stepped out onto the pond and clutched each other while clumsily skating around.
Travis chuckled. “This town is exactly what they needed, I think.”
Brent tore his eyes away from the girls who had fallen and sat on their butts, laughing hysterically. “What do you mean?”
“Jessica told me she hadn’t been here since before her parents died, but was adamant about getting married here. I worried it wouldn’t be what she remembered, but I think it’s exactly what she remembered. Maybe even more.”
“How did they die?”
“Car accident. Candace had to leave college to raise Jessica.”
Brent’s eyebrows rose. “Seriously?”
Travis nodded. “Yeah, they only had each other. But I’m glad this town is what she remembers. I think it’s good for the both of them.”
Brent looked back out at the girls laughing on the ice rink, and he saw both of the women in a new light… especially Candace.
“Seems to be,” he murmured.
