Bryan sucked in his breath and brushed his

hand through his hair. What the hell did this mean?

He read the card again before glancing down at the

candy. Could he dare to think that maybe there was

something more to this? No. There was no way.

But there was something weird about the candy

and the card. Tossing the heart filled note on the

box of candy he moved toward the front door and

could swear he saw movement from the side

window. He threw open the door and stuck out his

finger expecting to see Joel grinning like and idiot

and laughing at him.

Instead he gawked as his mouth dropped

open. “Julez. What are you doing here?” While he

was thrilled more than anything to see the man who

looked incredible in a bright crimson shirt and the

tightest freaking pants. Even in the darkness and

the snow he could see just how sexy he was. But it

wasn’t the look of the man but of the little girl who

stood with her arms wrapped around Julez’s legs

that intrigued him the most.

“May I come in? It’s a little bit cold out here

and Anastasia is trying to catch a cold.” Brushing

his hand over her dark locks, Julez smiled.

Shaken, Bryan sucked in his breath and

moved back, opening the door wider. “Of course.

Please come by the fire and get warm.” As he

closed the door slowly he could see that the

relationship was like father daughter from the way

Julez removed her hat and gloves and her coat

before easing her in front of the fire. The girl was

beautiful but as Julez removed her hat and turned

her around he could see her challenge and his heart

swelled. “I’m Bryan, a friend of your daddy’s.” He

eyed Julez, who nodded a yes. Bryan smiled even

bigger as he slowly bent to his knees and held out

his hand. Seeing her trying to process the

information was both wonderful and damning. He

glanced into Julez’s eyes as the man watched every

move Bryan made.

“It’s okay honey, he’s a real friend,” Julez

encouraged.

While she had a concerned look on her face

and glanced back at her father, Anastasia suddenly

tumbled forward into Bryan’s arms.

With the little girl’s arms wrapped around his

neck Bryan’s heart thumped in his chest. “Oh my.”

He could clearly see the tears misting in Julez’s

eyes. “She’s beautiful.”

“She’s her mother, God rest her soul.” Julez

looked shaken.

Bryan closed his eyes as the little girl held on

for dear life. When she finally let go she giggled

and moved back to her father. He stood slowly and

shook his head. “This is the lovely young woman

you were talking on the phone with the other day?”

God if he didn’t feel like a freaking heel.

“Guilty as charged. She’s the love of my life

and I can’t take her with me so it hurts, you

know?”

Bryan nodded. “I can only imagine. Um,

forgive my manners. Would you like something to

drink? I mean, can you stay or…what are you

doing here?”

Julez laughed. “Joel let me in on what you

thought so I asked for his help in luring you or

wooing you or something so at least you wouldn’t

throw me out.”

“Remind me to smack my friend. I knew he

was up to something.
