Clarissa’s fingertips gently traced over the bed of flowers they passed by in the Peach Tree Greenhouse. She loved going through the greenhouse; it always gave her a sense of calm. When she first came to Peach Hollow, shortage after experiencing a loss no one should, she had often found solace in the calmness of this place. It still offered the same effect and she was happy that Sophie had agreed to come with her. “So,” Clarissa began, leaning down to smell the magnolias for a second before glancing over at her friend. “I met Sebastian.”
She was threading the water gently, knowing from personal experience how awkward and unwanted the conversation could become. “Cillian became friends with him and me, by association.” She offered a small smile, not sure if Sophie was aware that she knew about her and Sebastian or if Soph even know that she was married. She had kept it a secret from the moment she got in town and while the secret was blown when Cillian came, she wasn’t sure if she had heard. It wasn’t something Clarissa was keeping a secret anymore, especially since she had decided to give Cillian another chance. “He seems like an good guy. No sense of interior decorating at all, though.” @sophie-sinclair
