With loving hands, Zoe brushed a hair from her husband’s lapel. Maybe she was prejudiced, she thought, but he was the handsomest man at the reception. All these years and he could still set her heart fluttering. Ever the gracious hostess, she’d been weaving in and out between her guests when she’d looked up and seen his pleased expression clear across the room. It had all but beamed and flashed. She’d felt compelled to ask after its source. There was more involved here than just being the proud father of the groom. She knew her man.

She read him like a book, Jake thought, grateful he’d never had call to keep things from her. He knew it’d be a losing battle. “Oh, I just decided to give nature a little shove.”

The comment made no sense to her. “Have you been drinking?”

Teasing, she pretended to sniff his breath, but she knew Jake better than that. Her husband had restricted himself ever since the heart attack that had frightened them all. If he imbibed at all, it was very minimally. It. annoyed him some to be so careful, but she knew he valued those he loved too much to ever put them through hell again.

She’d inadvertently stumbled on a connection, Jake thought. “No, but I did send two certain people down into the wine cellar for some more wine—separately of course.” He winked broadly at Zoe.

Zoe glanced around the room, but she had little need to. She could guess. “Morgan and Wyatt?”

Jake grinned. “None other.”

Zoe wondered if perhaps his well-meaning action might have the opposite effect and push the two farther apart. “Maybe you shouldn’t have interfered. They’ll find their own way.”

Jake’s grin broadened as he slipped an arm around her shoulders. He thought of the cellar. And the light bulb he’d purposely removed from one of the three overhead fixtures scattered through the area. It could be downright romantic down there. He and Zoe had found it that way years ago.

“That’s what I’m counting on, Zoe. That’s what I’m counting on.”

Zoe laughed, shaking her head. Her husband liked to think of himself as being tough as nails, but he was a romantic through and through. “You just like attending weddings.”

His laugh boomed. “Hell, yes. And getting them all out of the way one after the other is surely a good idea. Get those grandkids started coming.” He looked around, picking out his sons before looking down at his wife again. “We surely did turn out a handsome bunch of kids, didn’t we, Zoe?”

Zoe placed her hand on his chest and sighed. Life had been very, very good to her. Most of it, until the last ten years, had been spent pinching pennies and trying to get by, but by her count, she was far richer than most women.

“That we did, Jake.” Zoe looked over to where Kent and Brianne were standing by the banquet table. Resplendent in wedding finery, they made a striking couple. Her mother’s heart welled up, as did her eyes.
