'Father expects an important visitor and we must not keep him waiting.' Missy said.
Gina looked around and saw the bleachers were empty and the rest of her family had left.
'Shall I walk in the rain then?' Gina asked.
'The carriage is here.' Missy pointed to a group of carriages nearby.
Gina wondered who the important visitor was, for her uncle rarely hosted people. She wondered if it was going to be a suitor for Missy or if it concerned his tavern.
Suddenly, her eyes rested on Tabitha, the town gossip. And right beside her was Ansley. Her heart stopped beating for a second and then started thumping hard against her chest.
'Whatever is Ansley doing here?' Gina could not tear her eyes off him.
She saw him sitting and talking with Tabitha. She wondered what they were talking about, and it sounded as though she heard him call out her name.
What was Ansley trying to do? Did he go to tell Tabitha about her relationship with Richard?
