Anna lifted her head at Cade’s words. Her shame hadn’t been because her parents had not approved, but because she had done little to repair the damage. Instead she had run. She was glad to be in Moscow. She liked it here, but still regret was there, but Cade’s words helped. Maybe she’d make an effort to call them later and catch up.
As Cade continued, his words saddened her, but outwardly she kept calm and collected. He didn’t want reminders of his wife and child. She could understand his feeling pain when he thought of them. But she hoped that he didn’t want to forget. They were a part of him, a part she hoped someday he would embrace. Maybe his feelings were a natural part of grief. She didn’t know, having never needed to mourn the loss of a loved one.
”Moscow is pretty great. You can find something for everyone. I’ve really grown to like it,” she smiled genuinely. ”Not it’s your turn. I told you while I’m here. What is it you like to do for fun?”
