“Chris, I know you’d never act dishonorably, but you just met her yesterday and took her to the lake. As far as I know, you’ve never taken a lady to the lake before.” He sipped his drink. “And certainly never let one drive the buggy. You won’t even let your sister near the leathers.” “I know. I can’t explain it, Father. She’s astounding.” “Ah... she doesn’t fall at your feet in simpering femininity?” Christopher swirled the amber liquid in his glass. “The opposite, in fact.” His father rubbed his chin. “Well then, don’t let her get away.” “It might not be that simple.” “It’s always that simple, Son.” Christopher snorted and his father leaned back against his desk. “Why do you think it might be complicated?” “She has confused me.” “I noticed.” “I feel this need to protect her,” he admitted. Vincent smiled. “Clearly.” Christopher stood and paced the room. “Of course, it’s only been one day.” “Sometimes that’s all it takes.”

“They’re in deep, aren’t they?” he observed. “You don’t know the half of it,” Sophie said. Vincent walked in a few minutes later. “Are my girls ready?” “Yes,” they said standing together. Jamie frowned. “What’s going on?” “I’m taking Charity home. And Hannah and Emma are going to stay with us for a few days,” he said. Jamie’s eyes widened. “You can’t be serious!” “Willie and I haven’t had this much fun in ages. We never get the opportunity to put one over on Christopher.” Hannah grinned. “Well, I must say, I’m certainly glad you’re on my side.”

“He’s a great horse, Emma. You underestimate him.” “Maybe he could bring in Lassie and Flipper as reinforcements. What’s that, Samson? Sophie and Emma have been kidnapped by psycho confederates?” Emma whispered sarcastically. “No, wait. Sophie and Emma have fallen down the well.”

“Emma,” he whispered. “Aren’t you supposed to get permission from me before calling me by my first name?” Clayton sighed. “May I call you Emma?” “No.” Clayton chuckled. “I’ll ask you again, Emma.

“Sod off, Clayton,” Hannah snapped. “Don’t tell him to sod off, Hannah. It’s your idiot husband who probably had the idea in the first place,” Emma snapped. “MY idiot husband? What about yours? He’s the biggest shit-stirrer on the planet. He’s the one who probably pumped everyone up for some misguided sense of action.”

“Hannah’s the most amazing woman I’ve ever met.” “Well, I hope you’ll follow your heart, rather than logic.” “I thought you were going to give me sage wisdom and tell me what to do.” His father smiled. “I am giving you sage wisdom. Follow your heart. That’s what I did with your mother and believe me, she fought me tooth and nail.” Christopher smiled. “Yes, Father, Mama’s a firecracker.”

“She raised her chin for a kiss, and sighed when he broke it. “I hate this.” He raised an eyebrow. “What do you hate, beautiful?” “I hate that I can’t rip your clothes off and try page number thirty-nine. Do you remember that one?” She slumped on the pillows. “Probably,” he said carefully. “The one where the lady is bent over…” “Gwendolyn Simmonds, death of me… death of me!” “I’m sorry,” she said with a giggle. “I’ll be good.”

“Yellow wallpaper covered every wall, and the daffodils on the china pitcher and bowl matched the color perfectly. An embroidered quilt covered the bed, varying squares of yellow made up the design. “It looks like a daffodil threw up in here,” Emma said. Sophie giggled. “I know what you mean. It’s a little over the top, but I still love it.”

“The girls burst through the doors, giggling uncontrollably. “What is going on?” Jamie asked. Emma laid her hand over her mouth. “We stood on the porch waving our handkerchiefs—” “Emma’s idea,” Hannah interrupted. “A stroke of genius on my part.

You’re not here to have some kind of romantic fling.” Emma raised an eyebrow. “Then why am I here?” “You’re here because I wished you here.” Emma laughed. “Maybe Mom was right. God really does give you everything you pray for because He’s afraid of you.”
