“I don’t think so…”
“Good, you could use a friend.”
“You make me sound pitiful.”
“You are pitiful.”
“I’m hanging up.”
“Love you. Tell the babies I love them.”
“I will. Love you.”
Perfect timing. The second I set my phone down on the counter, there was a knock on my door.
Elijah.
Wiping my hands on a dishtowel, I strode to the door. His man scent flooded my nostrils as I opened it. Someone showered before coming over again. I noticed his hair was still damp as he thrust the car out toward me. “Here you go.”
“It’s amazing,” I told him honestly, then waited to see what he planned to do next. He simply shifted his feet side to side and waited expectedly.
Sucking in a breath, I asked, “Would you like to come in?”
“Elijah!” Lucy screeched as she ran toward us. My daughter pushed past me and grabbed his hand. “Want to watch a movie?” He simply laughed and let her lead him inside.
Not even fighting my smile, I shut the door.
