“I may never marry at all,” Abby said, her voice sounding noncommittal.

Jakob jerked his head up, blinking at her in surprise. Not marry? Ever? The idea was alien to him.

“You should marry. It is what Gott would want.”

“I know you really believe that. I’m not so sure anymore.”

Hmm, he didn’t like the sound of that. And yet, how could he fault Abby when he was shunning marriage for himself?

“Of course you will marry one day,” he said.

She smiled and Jakob felt a new awareness sweep over him. Abby wasn’t just a girl from his past. She was now a beautiful woman. He hurried to his feet and moved away. He couldn’t face the disloyalty he felt toward his late wife. Never once had he been tempted by another woman.

Until now.

He was definitely attracted to her, but that wasn’t enough. After everything Abby had been through, she deserved for someone to adore her.

But that someone couldn’t be him.
