After Sophie left, Drake walked around in a fog for a while, a goofy grin on his lips. He had kissed her, and she had kissed him back. He couldn’t stop smiling, until he remembered that he still had to talk to Mac. “You do it, Hooter,” he told the yellow dog at his feet. Hooter gave him a sympathetic look, but Drake had a feeling that was all he would get from the old dog. With the heavy sigh, he headed up the path to Mac’s house. He almost turned back, when he opened the door and saw Mac and the kits watching television and having lunch. Mac was hand-feeding them both tiny slivers of roasted chicken. His own chicken sandwich and chips sat on the table, untouched. He looked up as Drake came inside.

“Hey, you’re back already; did your lady friend go home?”

Drake grinned, remembering the feel of her lips on his. “Yeah, she went home.”

“She sure is pretty.”

Drake nodded as he took a seat opposite his uncle. “Yeah, she is.”

“So, is there more there than a client/contractor relationship?”

He still couldn’t stop smiling. He kind of felt like an idiot. “There just might be,” he said. Brooke was the only real girlfriend that Drake had ever had. They’d grown up in the small country town, and their graduating class had thirty kids in it. Twenty of those were boys. Girls were in short supply unless it was summer or the Harvest Festival, and then the town was often filled with families and young twenty-somethings on break from college, ready to brave the rapids nearby or hike the trails of Raccoon Mountain or explore the caverns. When Brooke broke up with him to go away to college, Drake had partaken of as many of those adventurous girls as he could get. But the reality that they would return to their lives and leave him behind and broken-hearted quickly became too much for him. He grew tired of flings.

He wasn’t a one-night stand or a serial dater kind of guy. Drake had always wanted a family—a life with a woman he loved who loved him back and as many kids as they could manage. That was a tall order in Belle Ridge … or it had been. Now that he’d met Sophie, he had begun to wonder if there may still be hope.

“She seems like a nice girl,” Mac said.

“She is … but there’s something else I need to talk to you about, Mac.”

“Okay …” He put the chicken he was feeding the kits down, and his dark eyes met his nephew’s. “You look so serious.” Drake’s eyes fell to the balls of sleeping fur in his uncle’s lap. Mac looked down at them and back up at Drake. “I know I can’t keep them.”

Drake was fighting back tears as he said, “Sam’s back. He wants to take them up to the refuge center as soon as possible.” Mac nodded. The look on his face was agony, and it made Drake’s heart break.
