Читать книгу The Daddy List - Dewanna Pace - Страница 3

Daisy smiled, happy that Bass was pleased.

Ollie moved past him and apologized. “Sorry, Bass. I must’ve left the back door open this morning. Only way Butler coulda got in the kitchen. I’ll make sure he don’t cause ya no more problems. ’Least for today.”

“I’m grateful it was only a goat. I heard somebody downstairs and thought I’d better check since I assumed I was still alone. But I couldn’t get down here fast enough to stop the initial damage. As you can see, he fought hard in the parlor until I got him roped and cornered behind the table.”

Bass brushed a hand through his dark hair, powdering it with even more flour. “But it was worth it, getting to hear your mama laugh like that.”

“You laugh pretty well yourself.” Daisy returned the compliment as his eyes studied her directly.

“That’s on my daddy list. Likes to laugh,” Ollie reminded. “Ya remember, don’tcha, Mama?”

“Yes, love. I remember.” Able to look Mama straight in the eye was on there, too.

Bass was beginning to qualify for a lot of the list’s requirements.

And Daisy wasn’t sure if she was prepared for that.

She wanted him gone, didn’t she?
