Sadie sighed. “Don’t start that again, Daisy.”
“But you gave up your scholarship. You shouldn’t have done that. We would have made sure Thorn was taken care of.”
Sadie shook her head. “But that’s just it. You guys were all getting established in your careers. I couldn’t have you interrupt your lives when you all were on the fast track to success. It just made more sense that I be the one to take care of him. I didn’t mind. Besides, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I loved him. It wasn’t like Mom would have been much help. It was my pleasure. So please don’t make it seem like it was a big sacrifice for me.”
“You could have been finished with med school by now,” Rose reminded her.
It had been Sadie’s dream to eventually be a pediatrician, but dreams sometimes had a way of changing. Now she simply wanted to be happy, something that was probably a long way off. For now, she was content with her quiet life, and writing poems and now raising her child. “Maybe one day.” She shrugged, it wasn’t that important to her anymore. What was, was her baby.
Daisy raised a brow. “So when do you plan on telling Rhys about the baby? You do know there is absolutely no way, I’m going to allow my niece or nephew to spend one second around the bride of darkness?”
Sadie would have been annoyed with her sister’s bossy tone if she hadn’t been thinking the same thing herself. “When I can figure out a way that my child won’t be harmed by Carys. She may have hurt me, but I’ll be damned if I let her have a chance to do it to my baby.”
