“You only have three days until you’re home. I can’t wait to see you. I’ll pick you up from the airport.”
“. I’ll get my dad to pick me up, and then I’ll spend a few hours with the family. How does that sound?”
“Perfect.”
her father brought her to Adam’s house at eleven, grateful to see his daughter and not have it cost him anything. Adam invited Angus Theriot inside.
“I haven’t been in one of these old swamp shacks since this morning,” he said in his thick Cajun accent.
“My daddy is teasing you because we live in a swamp shack.”
Since he’d watched her get out of the old truck, Adam wanted to grab Katy and kiss her, but since her dad was along, he controlled himself, showing her father around, peeking in the baby’s room. “She just had a bottle.”
Angus refused an offered beer. “I’ve got too many points as it is to have beer on my breath if I get stopped. I’ll take coffee though.”
“I’ll take my suitcase in back,” she said, avoiding the use of the word bedroom in front of her father.
“You’re responsible for my daughter not going to medical school.”
A hot flash permeated Adam’s body.
“Am I?” he asked, stupefied.
“You are. She got accepted to the top school in Southern California. I went to Saint Anthony’s. So did my father and his father before him. That’s all theedjacationmy family needed at the time. “Now, it’s different. All my girls ’eredjacated. You do me a favor and talk my girl back into goin’ to medical school.”
“I’ll do the best I can,” Adam said, not going into the discussion that she didn’t want to go because it seemed irrelevant at the moment.
Katy came into the room and got the gist of the conversation.
“Pa, don’t blame Adam. It’s not his fault. I made my mind up long before we dated.”
“It’s a waste, if you ask me,” Angus Theriot said, finishing his coffee. “But you got the final say.”
“Love you, Daddy. We’ll talk later.”
She kissed him goodbye and he finally left.
The car had just pulled out onto the road and Adam and Katy were in each other’s arms.
“I need to shower,” she whispered, the intention clear.
“Come on back.” He nodded toward the back of the house.
They hadn’t had sex yet; that first week together got hot and heavy on the couch so there was only that kind of sex, everything you can do with your clothes on. Katy aimed to change that this trip. After her shower, she came out in a t-shirt and underpants and found a shirtless Adam on the bed with Adelaide, giving her a bottle.
“Oh man, saved by the baby,” Katy said, laughing.
“Not me. I’m looking forward to this. She’ll sleep for us now. Get in,” he said, lifting the sheet. He wore black knit boxers.
“I’ve already seen you this naked at the pool,” she said, grinning. “But not in bed, however. Your chest is awesome.”
“So is yours,” he said, moving his eyebrows up and down.
“I’d flash you if you didn’t have a baby in your arms.”
“She’s almost done,” he replied.
“Poor baby doesn’t know she’s keeping us pure.”
