Like tonight when they were having dinner at Susannah s. Becky and Susannah were playing chopsticks on the piano, and she turned around to see if her dad had noticed how good she was getting. But instead of watching her, he d been watching Noah kill Tess. He d had a funny look on his face, too. They re making up for lost time, Susannah explained.
Newlyweds do that.
She d giggled. Becky had, too. Taggart didn t even smile. Becky left Susannah playing the piano and slid off the bend to go to where he stood propped against the windowsill. She leaned back against his legs and felt his fingers settle on her shoulders and tighten until they almost hurt.
