“Can I see your house one day?” Addy asked Knox.
“Sure, you can. Maybe you can help me decorate my tree.”
“Oh! I didn’t know you put one up.”
“I don’t have one yet. Maybe if you come over, it will motivate me to cut one down.”
“You have to have a tree,” Addy said seriously.
“How about Friday night? That’s my next evening off from the farm.”
“I don’t think we have anything that night,” I said as we reached my car, and Addy climbed into the back seat while saying goodbye to Ember.
“Maybe we can do an overnight with the girls,” Sebastian offered.
“Can we, Mom?” Addy asked.
“We’ll see.” I was worried she was too young for a sleepover. She hadn’t even gone to a drop-off birthday party yet.
Addy shut the door. We waved to Sebastian as he drove down the lane.
Knox stepped close. “An overnight would give us an opportunity to have some time alone.”
“Mmm. That does sound good.”
He dropped his head slightly. “I want to kiss you.”
“Addy might be watching.”
“I know. Not giving in to my desires is hard.”
I laughed. “I think it’s called being an adult.”
He grumbled. “Being an adult sucks.”
“Right? That’s the life of a single mother.” I wondered if he was regretting his decision to date a single mother.
“Holding back will be good. It will make everything more heightened when we’re alone,” he said before he kissed my cheek.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
He stepped back and waved at Addy in the back seat.
“We’ll see you on Friday,” I said as I climbed into the car.
“I hope we can manage lunch or something before then.”
“I’d like that,” I said as hope soared in my chest. Maybe I’d finally found the right man for me and for Addy. I’d been disappointed before and made wrong decisions. I prayed that wasn’t the case this time.
I turned on the engine and slowly made my way to the gate and turned left to go toward town.
“I like them,” Addy said from the back seat.
“The Monroes?”
“They’re so fun.”
“I think so, too.”
