Оглавление“I can’t believe you’re passing up a home-cooked meal, Jace Yeager,” Lori said. “Maggie’s biscuits are the best around, and probably even better with Cassie helping.”
“Please, Daddy. I’ll go to bed right on time. I won’t argue or anything.”
Jace looked back at Lori. It was her first night here, and probably a rough one.
Lori smiled. “Now, that’s a hard offer to turn down.”
“You’re no help,” he told Lori.
“Sorry, us girls have to stick together.”
That was what he was afraid of. He was losing more than just this round. He hated that he didn’t mind one bit.
“Okay, but we can’t stay long. We have a bedtime schedule.”
“I promise I’ll go to bed right on time,” Cassie said again, and then took off toward the kitchen.
He looked at a smiling Lori. “Okay, I’m a pushover.”
“Buck up, Dad. It’s only going to get worse before it gets better.”
Suddenly their eyes locked and the amused look disappeared. Lori was the first to speak. “Please, I want you to stay for dinner. I think we both agree that eating alone isn’t fun.”
“Yes, we can agree on that.”
He followed Lori into the kitchen, knowing this woman could easily fill those lonely times. He just couldn’t let it happen. No more women for a while—at least not over the age of seven.
