Mathew sat, hidden by the darkness. He watched as Isabel came out of the door and jumped as she tripped. He looked up and down this woman who was so much more than he was, and he wondered if William had told her. He wondered if he should have told her. She was going into a differ- ent world tonight, and they all knew what she did not. They all knew the secrets of her past, the undying ques- tion, the reason William hated to go to town. They all knew the story she was never told. Mathew sighed. She would find out tonight. He watched as the carriage drove on. He watched as William entered the house. He watched Ben and Charlie come out of the darkness and return to the barn. They were told not to be there for her, and he could understand why. It was like seeing an old life when Isabel looked like the future. Her future. And deep down, Mathew knew that was how it was meant to be.
