She didn't have any intention of crying. The tears caught…
““She didn't have any intention of crying. The tears caught her by surprise. She knew she was behaving like a child, that she was being terribly foolish and emotional, but she didn't know how to stop herself. "Judith?" His thumb brushed away one of the tears on her cheek. "Tell me why you're crying." "There weren't any flowers. Iain, there should have been flowers." Her voice had been so soft, he wasn't certain he understood her. "Flowers?" he asked. "Where weren't there any flowers?" He waited for her to explain, but she stubbornly remained silent. He squeezed her. "In the chapel." "What chapel?" "The one you don't have," she answered.””
