Оглавление“Maybe it’s better that I go.” Jake’s blue eyes clouded.
Callie’s heart twisted. Jake wasn’t only talking about a few days. He was also thinking about leaving for good. What she’d wanted from the beginning. Only now she wasn’t sure she wanted him to go.
For Maisie’s sake, of course.
He crouched beside his daughter on the rug. “Goodbye, Maisie.” He cleared his throat. “Goodbye, BooWoo.”
Maisie’s lashes flickered, but she said nothing.
Slowly, he rose. “This is goodbye, then.” He slung the strap of the duffel bag over his shoulder.
Callie followed him into the hall.
“I’ll be back.” He paused at the front door. “A day...” He shrugged. “No more than two.”
She touched his arm. “Take care of yourself.”
Jake’s gaze flitted toward the living room. “Maisie won’t miss me.”
Callie ached to make things right between father and daughter, but she didn’t know how.
“I’ll miss you, Jake.” She flushed. “I—I mean, the orchard won’t be the same without you, Jake.”
