but she was never happy. She was in love with someone else and she broke his heart.”
     
         “How did she die?”
     
          “A plane crash. She had just told him she was leaving him, she died two hours later.”
     
         “How long ago was that?”
     
          Mary Katherine said, “Janet was about eight, I believe. Maybe fourteen or fifteen years.”
     
          So he’d been a single father for most of his children’s lives. Tara made a mental note to play that up in one of her articles. As she allowed herself the opportunity to admire him from a distance, she was certain of two things. It would be easy to make the public fall in love with him and she very much wanted to spend more time with him.
     

 
     
    Chapter Four
     
         It was Sunday evening and a fire blazed in the fireplace as Kel sat in his living room with John and Kimberly and Alan and Janet. He and John would be going back out on the campaign the next day and he had promised Alan they would talk before he left.
     
         “I thought maybe having this conversation with everybody present wasn’t the best scenario,” Kel said. “I hope neither of you is uncomfortable having John and Kimberly here.”
     
         “Not at all,” Alan said. “I’ve talked to John about this myself, so he knows where I am and what I’m thinking.”
     
         “I don’t know exactly where to start. I go away for a few weeks and I come back and my daughter announces that she wants to get married. I’ll admit I didn’t handle that news very well the other night.”
     
         Janet said, “I’m sorry I did that the way I did. It would have been better if I had talked to you in private first.”
     
         “It would have been better,” Kel said, “if you’d put me in the loop from the beginning. I guess I am not accustomed to you keeping things from me.” That was very true, Janet couldn’t argue his point. She and Jim had always had a close and open relationship with their father. He had come to expect that anything important would have been shared and discussed with him before a major, life-changing decision was made. Who they dated, where they went to school, their grades, career plans, dreams, it had always been out in the open.
     
         “We weren’t really keeping it a secret. It just happened so quickly and I didn’t know how to bring the subject up on the phone and you haven’t exactly been here lately.”
     
          Kel was silent and Janet gripped Alan’s hand and waited for him to reply. John broke the silence.
     
          “I don’t think it really matters anymore how you happened to get together. And I’m sure you could have found a way to tell your dad what was going on, or certainly talked to Mother and Dad. But I do understand why it seemed a little awkward. Just saying to myself that my niece wants to marry my brother is strange.”
     
         Suddenly they were all laughing, even Kel. John continued, “We can sit here for years rehashing the details and they whys and why nots, but the one thing that really matters is the fact that you both want to get married. You’re both adults, you don’t need anyone to say it’s okay. But I think the situation would be better all-around if everyone was on the same page. So I’m going to be the first to step up and say I think you should get married.”
     
         Kimberly added her agreement. “So do I.” Everyone looked expectantly at Kel.
     
         Kel sighed. “All I have ever wanted is for you to be happy Janet. If Alan makes you happy then set a date.”
     
         Janet’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
     
         “Go buy a dress, plan an extravagant wedding. Wear your engagement ring.” Kel said. “I assume you have one you haven’t been wearing.”
     
         “I do, a beautiful one.” Janet stood and hugged her father. “Thank you.”
     
         Alan said, “Kel, I promise you I’ll
