Chapter Thirteen

Gabbs and Kelsey tumbled around like a pen full of puppies. “Gabriella, calm down,” Nina called out.

Gabbs tossed her head back and a big smile lit her face. She ran up and gripped the stroller, looking in at Adam. “Adam’s sleeping,” she said, putting her finger to her lips.

“He sleeps like Uncle Thane, don’t worry about waking him up, sweetie,” Kayla said with a grin, and leaned against Nina’s shoulder. “He eats like him too.”

Marg jogged up and waved a book at them. “Finally. It took three weeks for this book to come in. I was afraid we’d move before it decided to show up.”

“How’s the packing?” Nina asked, strolling beside the girls.

Marg curled her lip in disgust. “Getting there. I hate moving. It’s good motivation for a garage sale, which by the way you guys are helping me with this Saturday.”

Kayla took a quick peek at Adam. “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to bring some stuff over. I’ve got to lighten the load too. Thane and I have to figure out what we’re going to take to Hawaii and store the rest.”

“Are you selling your place, Kayla?” Nina asked, keeping one eye on Gabbs.

“Nope. Think I’ll keep it and sub-let.”

“You realize I hate you both for moving away from me,” Nina teased.

Gabbs and Kelsey chased each other around a bank of seats along the Seaport Village walkway. The late September sun felt good on her shoulders, and although her friends were moving away, she had all sorts of wonderful things to look forward to. Gabbs loved her new school, Kayla and Ghost’s wedding was set for December, and the Shark was fish bait. Although Mace didn’t live with them, he was always around. Life was good. “Are the girls moving with you to Hawaii?” she asked Marg.

“Kelsey of course, and Rayanne is coming, but Cindy’s already been accepted into Cal State.”

Nina nodded in understanding. “No worries, she can always come to me if she needs anything.”

“Thanks, Nina. I really appreciate that. I know I have to let her go, but it’s hard. Worse for Pat actually. He’s been in a bad mood ever since she announced she wasn’t coming. But Hawaii isn’t far by plane.” She paused. “And easy to get back here for a wedding,” Marg teased.

“You mean Kayla’s?” Nina said, blinking.

Marg’s head bobbed toward Kayla, and they grinned at her. “Yours, Nina.”

“Uh, well.” Being a redhead sucked, and there was no way to hide the blush. “Hard to have a wedding if a man doesn’t ask you to marry him. I think he’s still miffed at me for moving out of the apartment. Gabbs needs a backyard and time to get accustomed to everything.”

Gabbs ran up and grabbed her hand. “Mommy, that man is staring at you.”

They all looked up to where Gabbs pointed.

Nina’s heart stuttered to a standstill. A flood of tourists flowed around him, parting like the red sea. Their eyes locked. Oh my God! Lieutenant Wade Cayson gazed at her. She hadn’t seen him in eight, correction, almost nine years.
