After a lengthy silence, Gavin said, “We need to discuss what happens next.”

Dixie’s throat swelled with panic and she swallowed hard. She’d known from the get-go that Gavin was an honorable man and once he learned he’d fathered her baby he’d insist on doing his duty and marrying her.

“Gavin—”

“Dixie—”

“You go first,” she said, bracing herself for a marriage proposal.

“I’m not sure what the answer to our predicament is, but I do know that I’m not ready to marry and settle down.”

Stunned by his confession, Dixie leaned against the workbench and stared unseeingly at the scattered supplies.

“I want to do right by the baby, so I intend to help you financially.”

Her face warmed with embarrassment. What an idiot she’d been to believe Gavin wanted to marry her. Shoving her bruised pride aside, she focused on the positive—he didn’t want to be involved in her life.
