Sean unable to bring himself to shatter his illusions, inwardly conceded that his friend was, in

fact, quite admirable. After several minutes of silence, Sean let out a soft sigh, “Fred, I really don‘

t know what you’re being so coy about. If you were a woman, I might understand, but as a man… and my own brother at that, I find it… well…” He paused, shaking his head with a low chuckle, “You’re

really not living life to the fullest, are you?”

Frederick remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

Sean tossed his cigarette onto the deck and snuffed it out with the tip of his shoe before turning to lean against the railing. Looking at Frederick’s restrained face, he sighed meaningfully. “If only you had half the impulsiveness you had for Winona Summers twenty years ago, you wouldn’t be in su

distress.”

Frederick smiled, lowering his head and shrugging noncommittally. “Can’t help it, I’ve aged.”

But giving in so easily wasn’t Frederick’s style. Sean knew it was because Julia was so young that made Frederick feel his age. “Ah, Fred,” Sean said, patting Frederick on the shoulder with a weighty. tone. “If you really were old and had lost your charm, Julia wouldn’t count, but what about Cassie Palmer? That young lady is quite smitten with you. If it weren’t for Claire taking her to the supermarket the other day to have a heart–to–heart, that girl would still be wrapped around your

finger.”

The mention of Cassie Palmer made Frederick’s brow twitch. Julia’s forthrightness was endearing to him, but Cassie’s openness was a bit much for his taste. He really did feel old.

With that thought, he turned to Sean with a wry smile, “Tell Claire thanks for me.”

Sean was left speechless, feeling as though his forceful punch had landed on cotton. “Fred, why are

you so impervious?”

“Enough,” Sean dropped his hand and waved at Frederick, “I’m going back to Claire. You stay here and enjoy the cold breeze alone.”

With that, Sean left the deck without hesitation. Frederick stood alone, gazing up at the starry sky.
