Chapter Five

“Oh, God! You know, don’t you?”

Kimber didn’t wait for Wade’s reply, turning to stride across her parent’s lawn, gesturing that he should follow her away from the house so they would be out of the earshot. He took his time making his way over to her, probably as reluctant to have the impending conversation as she was.

She’d been looking forward to his arrival from the minute Brandon had called her and told her Wade was on his way. Kimber had regretted her hasty decision to leave the guys for a couple of days almost instantly. The twins had been asleep in the back of the car for most of the two-hour trip to Eager, giving her the time and space to think. Running away from the problem helped nobody, and had been a total waste of time, if Wade’s comment to the girls a few moments ago meant what she thought it did.

He’d walked in, kissed her in a way that was almost inappropriate considering the fact her parents were around, and the kids were crawling across the room toward him as fast as their pudgy hands and knees would carry them.

Wade had looked as if his heart was melting as he bent down to scoop them up into his arms. “There’s my gorgeous girls,” he’d said, pressing a noisy kiss to their cheeks, “that one’s from me.” He smiled as they squirmed away from his bristled chin and giggled as he kissed them both again, “and that one’s from your daddy.”

God only knew how she’d managed to hold her emotions in check long enough to ask her parents to keep an eye on the kids and drag him from the room.

Escudilla Mountain dominated the view from the garden, and she stared at it once more, as she had so many times in the past, summoning strength from its beauty. The mountain was one of her favorite places in the world and presided over a large aspen forest that provided a home for much of the state’s elk and black bear population. One day when they were up to the challenge, she would take the girls for a hike in the lower hills, but not today. Today she had to find the courage to turn and face Wade. His gentle touch on her shoulder made it easier, although she couldn’t yet meet his eyes.

“I thought I was the only one who knew, right up until this very minute.” Wade placed a finger under her chin, urging her to look up at him. “Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I...I wanted to talk to you both about it, but I was too scared. I’ve tried to push it to the back of my mind in the hopes that I wouldn’t have to deal with it, but that’s not fair on any of us, especially not the kids. They have a right to know who their true father is. Besides, it might have been a little easier to do if you’d broached the subject first.
