“them. What were he and his brothers to do without Adele? A gentle smile came to her lovely face as she brought a hand up and caressed Clay’s cheek. “If only I could, I would.” “Why can’t you?” He blinked back tears. She could not take Julia, his baby sister, and leave them. “Your father would come after me.” Her hand dropped to the side. “It is best this way.”
