“I’ll visit Mrs Diamond at her jewellery shop tomorrow and pick one out.”

Daisy grinned at him.

She was going to be Mrs Hill.

Luke will be furious she’s getting married before him and Freya.

“Can we get married at the Turner Chapel?”

“If you can swing it without your aunt getting involved,” he said.

“I’m sure I can keep this under the radar and keep her out of it.”

“Whatever you want, Daisy. Just turn up,” he said.

“I promise I will.”

Chapter Seventeen

Daisy

It was the end of another week. The movie was wrapping up, and Daisy thought it was the best time to break the two pieces of news to her brothers.

Telling them about her mother would be the hardest, so she planned to tell them that first and then she would tell them about her impending marriage in a couple of weeks.

Erica had finished her scenes and was now relaxing and taking care of Isobel.

Daisy called them to the kitchens on Saturday morning. There was no one staying in Edward Hall, so there were no staff bustling about.

As usual, they were sitting on the metal workbenches like birds on a wire, except she was the one facing them. Taking a deep breath, Daisy spoke, her words barely above a whisper, and then she stopped.

Nate took her spot on the row of people sitting opposite her on the workbench. She took a seat on the benchopposite. Daisy had her brothers in front of her, their wives and fiance at their sides. She couldn’t help feeling she was about to break up the gang. One look at Nate, and she found the courage to speak.

The smell of freshly baked bread was in the air. No doubt Jason getting ready to feed them a feast. The aroma deterred her for a moment.

She tapped the countertop twice and found her voice.

“There’s something I need to tell you. Something I’ve been keeping to myself for a long time,” Daisy said.

“We’re all accepting, Daisy, if you’re going to tell us you’re a lesbian,” Jason said.

Daisy gave him a soft smile wishing it was as straightforward as that. Nate’s chuckle drew their attention, and they dismissed that idea as a group.

Archer’s brow furrowed with concern, and he leaned forward. “What is it? You can tell us anything. You know that.”

Daisy closed her eyes briefly, gathering the courage to continue. “I’ve been in touch with Mum,” she said finally, her voice barely audible.

When she opened her eyes, she looked down the row. Jaws slackened, eyes widened in shock, and then there was a burst of questions from everyone but Nate.

“What?”

That was Jason

“How?” Luke shouted his question.

“When? How long? What the fuck?” All of those were Archer’s questions.

No one moved.
