‘I agree.’ Glancing towards her, he said clearly, ‘I love your friend, Lia. And, if you’d be so kind as to leave us alone together for a while, I won’t hesitate to demonstrate the fact.’
The neatly painted front door of the guesthouse closed behind Lia with an obliging click.
As Jake’s mouth descended avariciously on Caitlin’s lips a profound sense of coming home rolled over her. The sensation was so powerful and so warm that she knew to the depths of her soul that there was no more room for doubt or mistrust. She was no longer a displaced person, aching for someone to love who would unreservedly love her back.
She’d grown in confidence since joining Blue Sky, and wherever her journey as a singer took her everything would be all right—because Jake would be there with her, loving her and rooting for her all the way…her husband, her manager, her friend—and, one day, the beloved father of her children.
Long seconds later Jake broke off their kiss to gaze deeply into Caitlin’s eyes. ‘There’s just one small snag,’ he said seriously.
‘Oh? What’s that?’
‘You do know that we’re probably going to have to contend with Rick singing a solo at the wedding?’
‘Is there any way we can divert him?’
‘We can always ask Tina, the barmaid at the Pilgrim’s Inn, if she’d help us out.’
‘Do you think that she would?’
‘How could she resist?’
They were still laughing as they ascended the guesthouse steps, intent on sharing a celebratory drink with Lia.
