“Don’t you need to get on the road?” Scott asks

“Yeah,” I agree, not taking my eyes off Cadence and Hazel, where they sit on the couch with my sister and nephew, Clint

“I can’t believe Cadence is your dreairl” He smiles “It’s a small world At least now I knoasn’t just some drunken dream,” he comments

“Hey” I turn to face him

“There he is Now I have your attention”

“I don’t want to leave them here”

“They’re going to be just fine I’ out for her since the moment my wife declared Cadence as her new bestie”

“It’s my job,” I say, irritated and thankful at the sa out for my family

My family

“Maybe I can convince her to come with me?”

“Nah, she’s got a good job, which she never misses unless it’s for Hazel She saves all of her tiirl”

“She’s a good mom”

“She is”

“I’m in love with her” I see him nod from the corner of my eye

“Figured as much”

“It’s crazy, right? One night, and then this weekend, and h it could explode from how much I feel for her”

“Is it hter? And by the way, no paternity test?”

“No She’s mine I feel it”
