66 Cameron Dane was young, and she wasn’t educated, but that didn’t make her ignorant or blind or stupid about her own situation or about me. Spending time in prison made her realize she really wasn’t capable of taking care of me, not before she went in and not after she came out. She liked Mari, and Mari showed her respect in return. She wanted Mari to keep me after she was released, as long as Mari would let her stay in contact with me. Mari agreed. They worked out a formal agreement with the state, and for once, the system worked. Everyone did what was best for me. So yeah, I still know my mother. She has some problems, but I respect what she did for me, and Mari never let me forget that I should always show her respect for making a tough choice.”

Jonah still looked like he had stepped off a bus onto an entirely new planet. “That’s big of you. I don’t know that I could be as forgiving.”

“Different circumstances call for different outcomes.” Unsure about Jonah, as the man had never spoken of his childhood, even for that short time under Mari’s care, Christian chose his words carefully. “Maybe in your case, you shouldn’t be.”

“Different.” Jonah’s body went rigid, and his face seemed to turn to stone. “That’s one word for it.”

Jonah made Christian want to know all of his secrets and then hold him close and promise him everything would be okay. “Do you want to come with me?” Christian blurted, before he could think too deeply about rejection. “We could all take the day off from the renovations, and I could definitely use the company on the drive.”

“Oh, uh…” Jonah shifted his weight from foot to foot. “I don’t kn --”

“I could actually use the day off myself,” Rodrigo cut in. “I need to check in on my other projects and look at rounding up orders for that work. We’ve been going really strong for a week, and I don’t think it will hurt too much to step away for a day. I can come over in the morning, accept the delivery, and then lock up when I leave.” Rodrigo looked past

Christian and Jonah and pinpointed right in on Abby. “Do you have any problems with that?”

“Uhhhhh, no.” Abby might as well have rolled her eyes. “Why would I?”

“Then good; we’re settled. We’ll all take care of other business on Friday.” Rodrigo looked to Jonah. “Can you give me a hand?” He jerked his thumb toward the front door. “I want to double measure the porch and steps before I bring my equipment over and start sizing the wood.”

“Yeah, sure. No problem.” Jonah handed Christian his roller. “Hang on to that. I’ll be right back.”

Christian stared at Jonah as he walked outside, mesmerized by how smoothly Jonah moved for such a big man. There was nothing lumbering about him. Abby stepped in next to

Christian and leaned her shoulder against his arm, watching as well.
