Colin nodded sharply, as though he agreed. Then he turned to stare at his brothers headstone again.
Maggie heaved a heavy sigh. Once again, she was dying to ask him what was in the back of his mind about the babys future. But he hadnt let himself get to know Emma at all. Maggie wanted him to do that much before he made any final decisions.
