“What do you think about living at the ranch?” Luc said.

“I like it,” Ruby answered.

“Good.” Luc captured the little girl in a hug. “Because I like you.” He turned back to Cate, waiting for her answer.

“It’s not what I expected,” she said.

“What did you expect?”

“Actually, I have no idea.” She laughed, and Luc smiled.

“Everybody’s happy,” Ruby said.

“What?” But Cate had an inkling she knew what her daughter meant. Could she tell that her parents were finally getting along?

Luc lowered his voice. “Is she referring to us?”

“I guess she could tell you were making things difficult.”

Luc gave an exaggerated snort and then laughed, and Cate’s insides warmed like molten chocolate cake. It was nice finding their friendship footing again. Maybe they could get along as parents without letting anything romantic bloom.

The door opened behind her, and Luc’s face lit up with recognition. Was it a woman? Scalding jealousy closed off Cate’s throat, not boding well for the pep talk she’d just given herself about her and Luc being just friends.
