She lets it hang there, waiting to see how he’ll fill the silence.
“Really? I think she’s being overly sensitive.”
Since he barely knows her mother, he has no idea how funny that comment really is.
“She said you started asking her about Tom.”
“I merely wanted her impressions of the guy. Needless to say, I’m curious.”
“Needless to say? Why would you have any interest in my marriage?”
Emma hears Kyle sigh and senses him weighing his words.
“Not your marriage per se,” he says finally. “I’m curious about Tom himself. I mean, my brother was barely in the ground before you started dating him.”
