“I didn’t know you were home.

“I could have kept Poppy up long enough for you to see her,” Tessa said.

“I just got here. I’m sure she was too tired to stay up any longer.”

“Would you like a cup?” Tessa asked.

Baffled, Morgan didn’t reply.

“Of tea?” she added, holding up a mug.

“Uh, yeah. That’d be fine.” His thoughts were crowded. He couldn’t get the image of Tessa and Poppy out of his head. There was a…sweetness in the way she interacted with his daughter.

He’d sat in this kitchen late in the night when he couldn’t sleep, but he’d always felt alone. Tessa had changed that.

She brought over the mugs, joining him at the table.

Tessa was evoking something else, something he hadn’t felt since Lucy died. Startled by the thought, he jerked back his hand, overturning the cup.

She grabbed a napkin, blotting up the spilled tea.

“Sorry, let me get that.” He reached for the napkin but caught her hand instead.

She froze.

Her hand was soft beneath his, and it took him a few moments to release it.
