"Why didn't you let him in?" Louisa asked, her brows knitting in confusion.
"Did you and your brother have a chance to meet before Martha kidnapped you?" Darren pressed, eager for answers.
"Was there any kind of unpleasantness?" Belinda added, her gaze fixed on Rosemary.
A carousel of memories spun in Rosemary's mind, including the first time she met Sean, the time a woman threw herself at him, and Sean not exactly turning her away.
Seeing that the crowd was intent on hearing the reason, Rosemary picked the least significant one to share.
"Well. I had my eye on this island that just so happened to be under Sean's name. I bought it from him for a low price, and seeing him today, I thought he might have come after me over the island deal."
"Sean actually charged you money?" Louisa was astonished.
"He didn't know I was his sister at the time." Rosemary explained.
"So how much did he take from you? I will make him give it back later."
