Chapter 8

Jubal jerked awake when he heard an alarm go off somewhere in the house. Lizabeth had returned to her own room at about three in the morning. Feeling for his watch on the bedside table, he squinted his eyes to determine the time, five o'clock in the morning. Laying bets the alarm belonged to his brother, Jubal pushed his legs out from under the blankets. The sooner he spoke to Jonas and received his word that he would meet their father, the sooner Jubal could let Jonas know his intentions toward Lizabeth. Well, that was as soon as Lizabeth came clean about what she knew, of course.

Wasting no time, he picked up his clothes from the end of the bed and dressed. He heard the rustling of clothes somewhere down the hall. He would meet Jonas in the kitchen. More than likely, the man would at least have a cup of coffee before he left for work, so Jubal would catch him while he was in the kitchen.

When he reached the front foyer, Jubal saw light beneath the kitchen door.

Good, they could have their discussion.

Jubal walked through the swinging kitchen door. "Jona—" Jubal began, but stopped, shocked.

Nikki's silken robe-covered figure stood before the automatic coffeepot, filled cup in hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, thanks."

"Have a seat, I'll get you one." Jubal walked around the dining room table, pulling out a chair, and sat facing Nikki.

Nikki walked over and put the coffee-filled cup before him, setting one down at the head of the table in wait for Jonas. After retrieving her own, she took a seat across the table from him, sipping the hot brew as she kept her gaze on Jubal.

"So you're going to try another attack this morning before he goes to work?" No one could blame Nikki of avoiding an issue.

"Yep, we really don't have a lot of time. The old man's days are numbered," Jubal admitted.

"I don't blame you. Be patient, but persistent. I think deep down, he wants to meet his father, but don't tell him I told you that." Nikki gave a smile as if to let him know she understood his current dilemma.

Jubal returned her smile. "I hope you're right." They sipped their coffee in companionable silence as they waited for Jonas to make his appearance. At least Jubal thought so.

"Jubal?"

"Yep?"

"What do you think about Lizabeth?" He sputtered his coffee at her question. He wiped his hand across his mouth to staunch the coffee's escape from his lips.

"Uh ... I..."

"It's all right, Jubal, I'm not going to turn into a screaming mother."

"Sorry?"

Nikki took another sip of her coffee before setting her cup on the table and tracing the rim with her right index finger, her expression thoughtful. "I heard the sound of voices earlier this morning.
