At dinner, Shayla found out more about the family. Her father was eight years older than her mother. He was very happy and settled in his current life. His wife was sweet and her half brothers were well-mannered, respectful young men.

She told them about Carter and Jack said she wanted to plan a trip to Charlotte soon to meet Carter in person. Said he wanted to work right away on making up for lost time with Shayla. Towards the end of dinner and conversation, Shayla called Donovan, seeing that he had texted her three times to find out where she was and it dawned on her she’d forgotten to text him the name of the restaurant.

“Hey, how’s it going?” Donovan asked after answering the phone on the first ring.

“It’s going good. I completely forgot to text you my location, but it’s all good. Jack has offered to drop me off at the hotel so you don’t need to meet me.”

“I’m already here.”

Shayla frowned. “You where?”

“Outside of the restaurant…been here since ten.”

“How’d you know where I was?”

“I followed you.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot…you’re good at that.”

Donovan chuckled a bit and said, “Just wanted to make sure you were safe. Jack might be your father and all, but I don’t know him that well and neither do you.”

“Well I can assure you…all is well. Now go ahead and go home and spend some time with your little boy. You don’t have to wait for me.”

“Are you kidding? I want to know what happened. Tell Jack you’re riding with me.”

“You sure?”

“Of course.”

“Okay. See you in a minute.”

She went ahead and told Jack that Donovan was taking her back to the hotel. Walking out of the restaurant together, Shayla embraced Jack, his wife and the boys.

Donovan watched her – saw her wipe tears from her eyes as she said goodbye to her father. When he saw her heading for his car, he got out, opened the passenger door for her then quickly walking around the car to get in himself, starting the engine.

“You all right?” he asked her.

“Yes.”

“Why are you crying?”

“Because I can’t believe that just happened,” she said, her trembling hands covering her face.

“Breathe, sweetie.”

“I’m trying. It’s been a whirlwind day.”

Donovan started the car, beginning the drive to the hotel where Shayla was staying.

“So are you glad you went through with it?” he asked, checking the mirrors and changing lanes.

“Yeah, I am. Jack seems to be a pretty decent, straightforward guy. He wants to come to Charlotte in a few weeks…said he wanted to meet Carter.”

Donovan nodded. So she talked about Carter.

“He said he was in love with my mom.”

“You believe him?”

“I don’t know. I mean, I want to believe everything he said, but I can’t trust him from one meet-and-greet all these years later.”

“Right.”

“We gotta get to know each other again, you know. I have to learn him, then maybe trust will come later.”

“Yep,” Donovan agreed, then found a parking stall at the hotel, shifting the car in park and shutting it off.

“Donovan, what are you doing? You don’t have to walk me to the room.
