“Why?” I took a second look at the man who had claimed Clair’s attention, and who had just leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. “That’s Michael Barry, the veterinarian. They seem chummy.”
Anita nodded. “They sure do. He’s cute, isn’t he?”
“Why haven’t we heard about this? They obviously know each other pretty well.” I glanced at Anita. “How could Clair have kept it from us?”
She lifted a shoulder. “That sly thing. It’s hard to believe she didn’t let it slip. But not much surprises me, anymore. After living here all my life, I thought I knew everything about Evelynton, Indiana. But since you’ve moved home, I’ve come to believe there are as many secrets in this town as there are closets to hide them.”
