Emma"s head shot up and her eyes widened. ""I couldn"t believe she decided to marry her soldier boy at Christmas. You two were so close. Why didn"t you tell me, son?"" Emma"s eyes were fixed on Caleb as she waited to hear his response. Edith was equally shocked at the news. ""I don"t know, doc. I didn"t think it really mattered to anyone---but me."" Edith stood up and put her arms around Caleb and whispered tenderly, ""I"m so sorry, Caleb. I know your heart must be breaking."" ""I"ll be fine, Ms. Edith. I knew it was a possibility all along. I"ll be more careful before I give my heart away again."" Emma was smiling inside, and she couldn"t stop herself from saying, ""There"s a wonderful movie playing tonight at the Marston Theatre, Caleb. An Affair to Remember. Why don"t we go together and try to get your mind off that girl?"" ""He fell for one girl who wore an engagement ring, Emma. I doubt he"ll make the same mistake twice,"" Edith remarked.

""Caleb is not ready for another disappointment."" Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге In His Time (James F. Hunt)
