"Yes," I answer him, "and I like to see her smile." He nods at me as if he is actually getting all of this. But I know better than that because he asks me this question every time I pick her flowers.
"There’s Mom," I say, pointing at our back door. She pushes open the door and steps out, the wind blowing in her hair. Her face lights up with a smile as Tucker lets go of my hand and runs to her. "Mommmm!"
She walks down the steps now and squats down to grab him in her arms. She hugs him close and kisses his neck as his laughter fills the yard. Another thing my son has that I never did—he smiles all the time. She puts him down now and puts her hand on her pregnant stomach.
My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world, but when she is pregnant, she is radiant. "Hi," she says when I get close enough. I kiss her lips now and hold up the bouquet. "These are so pretty." She brings them to her nose. "Shall we go and put these in water?" She looks at Tucker, who is already walking up the stairs. She turns and starts to walk up the steps with Tucker. "You coming with us?"
"In a minute,” I say, and she smiles and walks inside. I walk up the steps and look at the sun that is slowly setting. It’s something that I do all the time. The back door opens again, and I feel Chelsea put her hand on my shoulder. She sits next to me, and I wrap my arm around her. "Isn’t it beautiful?" I ask her.
"It really is." She leans in and kisses my lips. And there on the steps where I found what happiness was, my heart beats in a whole different way.
Southern Heat
Willow
After being left for dead I was given a fresh start.
I could go anywhere in the world yet all I wanted was to stay where I was.
Even though I knew I was safe. I always had a bag packed and ready just in case I needed to escape again.
Like they say old habits die hard.
Being in the shadows is lonely, but lonely is safe.
No one saw me. No one really got to know me.
Except him.
Quinn
Being a cowboy is in my blood, just like my father, and his father before him. Except unlike my father the only thing that interested me were my horses.
I was the quiet one, the one who stood in the back and watched things unfold.
Until I found her fighting for her life. Something inside me shifted.
I couldn’t stop it, I fell in love with her.
Even though I knew, in the end, she would leave me.
Get ready to unravel another secret in the south!
