Lily (Suitors of Seattle) (19 page)
Harriett blanched. “I love my babies, but one at a time is enough for me.”
Lily shook her head. “You don’t know what you’re missing!” She loved tormenting her sister, and Aunt Harriett was just an added bonus. “I thought Rillie was coming for tea today as well?”
Harriett shook her head. “She sent me a note, refusing to come.”
Rose made a face. “She still has her heart set on marrying Alex. I wish she could get it through her head that he’s moved on.”
Amaryllis walked into the room, glaring at Rose. “I do know he’s moved on, but that doesn’t mean that I have to marry someone else. I can stay a spinster for the rest of my life.” She sat down heavily on the sofa beside Harriett. “I do appreciate your kind offer, Aunt Harriett, but I’m just not interested in marriage at this time. I’m going to open a library and be in charge of all the books there.”
Harriett raised an eyebrow. “We could use a library here.” She patted Amaryllis on the hand. “You just let me know when you’re ready.”
Amaryllis shrugged, taking a cookie off the tray that was offered. “I’ll be content with my books for the rest of my life.” She folded her arms across her chest and glared at her sisters as if daring them to say more.
Lily shook her head. “I understand. I wouldn’t have married anyone but Daniel. No reason in being miserable just so you can have a husband.”
“Books will be my babies.” Her eyes stayed on the twins, though, as if she couldn’t drag them away.
Lily watched her sister watch her babies, and smiled to herself. She’d change her mind soon. There was no doubt about it. She couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with Alex, though. He’d seemed so in love with her sister. She shrugged, turning her attention to one of the cookies.
Rose stared at Amaryllis. “You’ll make a great librarian.”
