Chapter 14

As Bowie took the turn into the trailer park, he was struck by how anxious he was to get home. After spending so many years alone, this unexpected turn in his life had given him a glimpse into what family life and having someone like Rowan in his life could be like. He’d never felt like this about a woman before. Despite the fact that he was a grown-ass man of thirty-five, he felt like a lovestruck teen.

He parked, got out, and was halfway up the steps when Rowan opened the door to surprise him. Only she was the one who got the surprise.

Delighted by her sudden appearance, the first thing he did was cup the back of her head and kiss her. It was a surprise attack with unmistakable intensity.

“You’re the best reason I’ve ever had to come home to,” he said, then slid an arm across her shoulder as he entered.

Pearl was sitting at the dining room table, and Ella was at the stove.

“How are my girls?” Bowie asked, taking note of how fast Rowan went to help Ella.

“We’re good. How are things going at the house?” Pearl asked.

“Really good, Gran. We got the headers in, so now the walls are all gone from the front door through the kitchen, and through the dining and living area.”

Pearl was beaming. “I absolutely can’t wait to see all that,” she said.

“The crew got your master bath and walk-in closet framed up today, too, as well as opening up a door from your bedroom into the bathroom en suite,” he added.

“Your day was far busier than ours. We’re going to be spoiled by the time we move back in. We haven’t had to do anything but cook a few meals and enjoy the luxuries of your home,” Ella said. “Mama took a nap this afternoon, and I watched some of my shows. The only industrious one was Rowan, who got a little cabin fever and took a walk around the trailer park.”

“You did? So, how was it?” Bowie asked.

“It was great and didn’t take any effort to walk,” Rowan said. “It felt good to be outside. Did you guys know there’s a creek just behind this side of the trailer park? It’s just a few yards into the woods. And there’s also a tiny playground at the back of it. It has two picnic tables, a grill, and a swing set. I think there are quite a few kids who live here, too. I see one little redhead riding her bike a lot, and I hear others playing.”

Bowie shook his head. “I haven’t gone any farther here than where I parked. Was it hot?”

“Not too bad,” Rowan said. “The sidewalk is shaded almost all the way around, so I didn’t really feel the heat.”

“If you’re going to clean up before supper, get at it,” Ella said. “It’s almost ready.”

Bowie laughed. “Yes, ma’am. Give me about ten minutes, and I’ll be back.”

He pulled his work shirt over his head as he headed for the shower.
