Chapter 14

“Did he do this while he was in New York, too?” I asked, more to myself than anyone else.

But Siboney heard me. “He asked one of his so-called friends to do it for a while. But when I told Seb that we hadn’t seen anyone for weeks, he was livid. That’s when he started coming down every weekend to make sure we had what we needed. He’s a very good boy. Life hasn’t always been easy for us, but he was smart and we did what we could. We’re blessed to have him, that’s for sure.”

Huh. In all the time I’d known him, Seb had never talked about his parents, or his background, and no matter how much I’d pleaded with him, it hadn’t made a dent. I wondered now if he was just being overprotective of his family. Or was he ashamed of coming from humble beginnings? Was that why he was such an overachiever? And apparently, when he’d turned up in town for the first time after we’d broken up, he’d been taking care of his parents, too. Geez, he’d been burning the candle in places not meant for flame.
