“Why can’t Miss Caroline be our nanny?”

All the grown-ups froze. David’s eyebrow lifted. Had his darling daughter just said “our nanny,” as in she’d consider herself one of Caroline’s charges?

Caroline’s lashes fluttered as she recovered from her surprise. “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I couldn’t.”

Maggie’s eyes clouded. “Why not?”

“Well, I’m not going to be here very long, for one thing. For another, I’ve never been a nanny before.”

“Maybe not,” Ida interjected. “But you certainly seem to have a way with the triplets.”

“Ma, Miss Murray is here to visit her family, not work for ours.”

“Of course we wouldn’t want to impose, Caroline, but your family would be welcome to visit here as often as they want.”

“Oh, I don’t know.” Caroline’s gaze landed on his, soft as a butterfly, filled with questions.

Did he want her to help them? The answer was an irrevocable no. Did he need her help? Ida’s meaningful glare said yes. When he remained silent, she prompted, “We sure could use your help. Couldn’t we, David?”

He swallowed hard. “There’s no denying that.”
