Once we drop Junie off in Wyoming, and it’s just us, she’ll have no choice but to tell me what I need to know. It’ll only be a matter of time before she’s in love with me again. She fell once; she’ll fall again. Besides, I know just wants she likes.

“Good morning, ladies,” I say, coming into the dining room. My girls are already sitting down at a table. March has a coffee, and Junie has apple juice in front of her. Their bags are sitting next to the table on the floor. “I’ll take the bags out to the truck.”
“Morning, Josh,” Junie says. “I’m having bacon.”
“Sounds good,” I say, smiling at her.
“Thank you,” March says, sliding me her keys. “Coffee?”
“Yes. Thank you. I’ll be right back.”
I get back to the table and order pancakes and bacon. When I’m finished, my phone rings. “I’ve got to take this,” I say.
“Of course, can’t let your girlfriend wait on you,” she quips. I just shake my head in disgust, unable to dignify that with an answer. How could she possibly think I’d ever put my dick anywhere but inside her? The idea of that just makes me fucking sick.
I have just hung up the phone when I feel a tiny hand slip into mine. I look down and see Juniper. I smile. Today, she has little butterfly clips in her blonde hair and a pair of overalls on. Have I mentioned that she’s literally the most adorable child I’ve ever seen? The more I look at her, the more I know that she’s mine.
“Hi, Josh,” she says.
“Hi, Junie.”
“Mommy is turning her key in.”
“Okay.”
“She said I could stand by you and wait and that I should be good.”
“Okay that’s probably a good idea.”
“My mom doesn’t like you very much, Josh. Do you know that?”
“I know that.”
“Do you know why?”
“No. Do you?”
“No.”
“You ready, baby?”
“Yes,” Junie and I say at the same time, and then we laugh. March smiles at Junie and glares at me. It's worth it.
We drive to another random house. This time in Salt Lake City.
Really? What the hell is this all about?
I need answers, and I need them now.
CHAPTER SEVEN
MARCH
“Mommy, are we going to another house?” Junie asks, slouching her shoulders like she does when she is not getting her way. We are currently in Salt Lake, Utah, on our way to Wyoming.
“Not after this one, baby. But I promise this is the last stop before we get your Grandpa. Okay?” That makes her perk right up, which is a little insulting. Just a little.
