“How are you handling your son’s arrival on your doorstep?” Mark asked.

Shannon turned back to him. “Have you looked at me tonight? I’m not handling it that well.”

He had been looking at her. He could barely take his eyes off her. “I think you’re doing all right. It’s a lot to digest.”

“You act as if it came as a big surprise to me that I had a child.” A sad smile spread on her lips. “Believe me, I never forgot it.”

“But you never expected him to show up on your doorstep like an overnight delivery, either.”

“No. That I didn’t expect.”

Suddenly Shannon lifted her head and looked right at him. She seemed to be searching for something. Was she trying to decide whether he was just being polite or if he really wanted to know her story?

He was surprised to realize that he did want to know. More than he had any right to.
