Chapter 99

Tristan heard the love in Rachel's voice and got a little worried. She'd seen other women in the group fall in love with their young lovers only to be emotionally destroyed when these young men moved on. In the short time she'd spent with Rachel at the luncheon she'd immediately clicked with her. Tristan listened to her inner voice believing to her core that there was wisdom in instinct. Rachel was good people. She and Dale had met so few when they moved here from Texas. They'd left behind their social connections and had made efforts here to connect with the 'right people'. Peers from their tier of society but there was always something lacking. Some were dull as plain crackers, others had no depth, and many had a weakness of moral values. She picked up immediately from Rachel that she was more right than any of the 'right people'. Now she may be setting herself up for heartache.
Her concern must have shown on her face as Rachel reached over and touched her hand. "You don't need to worry about me. It's good."
Tristan began to apologize but Rachel just shook her head with a grin. "Get to know Edward and you'll understand."
