“Never mind,” Cora told her, bending to kiss both her granddaughters on top of the head. “Nobody’s going into a nursing home. Not in the immediate future, anyway.”
A silence fell, and Rance looked up at his mother-in-law, suddenly realizing that she was getting older. She’d lost weight since Julie died, and there were wrinkles around her eyes and at the corners of her mouth. Her husband had passed away years ago, and she had no family other than Maeve and Rianna—and him.
“What’s a nursing home?” Rianna repeated.
“It’s like a hospital,” Maeve explained. “Old people go there.”
Cora, her gaze locked with Rance’s, suddenly looked away.
He pushed back his chair, stood and followed his mother-in-law to the sink, where she stood with her back to the room. He laid a hand on her shoulder, just as she had done earlier, when he was at the window.
“Are you feeling okay, Cora?” he asked quietly. “You’re not sick, are you?”
She shook her head, tried to smile. “No, Rance—I’m fine.”
But as she turned from him to tackle the breakfast dishes, it was clear something was on her mind.
Maybe he ought to tell her he thought he knew what it was.
