Levi grinned at her. “I kind of like knowing that.”
“Me, too.”
He held her gaze, searching for and finding a sense of belonging even if it was only because they shared a concern for this orphaned child.
He broke the eye contact first, knowing his thoughts had gone to dangerous territory. Beatrice was a city girl with secrets. She was here only to do a job, then she would leave. And he did not intend to open his heart to more pain.

Without giving himself time to change his mind, he placed his hand on Dolly’s other knee. So much for not listening to his heart.

He could get used to this feeling of contentment.
