Fawn and I moved into our dream house two years ago. I built it from the ground up, and Fawn took care of the landscaping and interior design. My woman is so talented, and I love that we make the perfect team.
We’ve been working together for my business too. Fawn has a great eye for design, and I’ve been having her do the landscaping at the new houses I’ve been building.
We’ll both be slowing down now that our little bundle of joy is almost here. I can’t wait to start growing our family. I know that Fawn is going to be the best mom.
“Oh!” Fawn says, and I spin to face her.
“What’s wrong?” I ask, ready to carry her to my truck if needed.
“The baby is kicking,” she says, a wide smile stretching her lips.
She looks up at me in wonder, and I let her take my hand and place it against her belly. Sure enough, a little thud kicks my palm, and I grin, my heart swelling in my chest as we share this special moment.
“He’s going to be a little soccer star,” she says with a laugh, and I join her.
We just found out that we’re having a boy, and we’ve been busy trying to come up with names. Nothing has seemed perfect yet, but we still have time to figure it out.
“Is Irene still coming over for dinner tonight?” I ask Fawn, and she blinks.
“Crap! I completely forgot!”
“I’ll help get dinner started,” I tell her, trying to put her at ease.
“You’re terrible in the kitchen!” She cries, and I bite back a smile.
“I’m not that bad,” I try to argue.
“You burnt water the other day.How, Jensen?”
“I don’t know. It just got away from me.”
“Oh my gosh. How did you survive before you met me?”
“Mostly off of fast food and frozen meals.”
“You’re so lucky that you met me,” she says as she takes my hand. I grin at her.
Don’t I know it.

Can a bet only have one winner?
You’d think that a college town would have a lot of job opportunities, but that’s not the case in Sequoia. I’ve already exhausted all the businesses in town, but no one is hiring.
No one but the Stud Farm.
When I went out the night before my interview with some friends hoping to blow off some steam and celebrate summer break, it was meant to be fun.
Instead, I ended the night by slapping Griz Ford.
I didn’t know that it was him, I swear. I figured that out the next day when I showed up for my interview at the Stud Farm and found him grinning at me across the kitchen table.
I figure there’s no way that I’m getting this job, but he surprises me, and we end up making a bet.
30 days.
