CHAPTER SEVEN

Jake couldn’t bear the thought of returning to the dining room, so he headed toward the lake. He sat on the grassy bank with his knees bent and his hands wrapped around his legs.

What had he done? Erin was the most amazing woman he’d ever met. What was wrong with him that he couldn’t think about spending the rest of his life with her?

He constantly buried himself in masses of work. It kept him busy, but gave him nothing in return except a healthy bank account. His life had turned into one big mess. He couldn’t give Erin what she so desperately wanted because he couldn’t change a lifetime of bad choices. He’d disappointed everyone that relied on him, and she deserved better than that.

“Jake? Are you okay?” Lucy stood a couple of feet behind him.

Wiping his eyes on the edge of his sleeve, he looked at his sister. “No.”

She knelt beside him and gave him a hug. “I saw Erin going home with another couple. Did you have an argument?”

“It’s over between us. She wants marriage and babies and I don't. End of story.”

In a gentle voice, she said, “I’m sorry it didn’t work out.” She rubbed his shoulder as they both silently watched the lake glisten in the morning sun.

“Uncle Jake, Uncle Jake.”

Taking a deep breath he turned, watching Ethan run across the grass.

Ethan frowned. “Did you hurt yourself, Uncle Jake?”

“Kind of.”

Moving forward, Ethan wrapped his six-year-old arms around Jake’s shoulders, giving him a big hug and kiss. “Does that feel better?”

He nodded. He wasn’t sure anything would make him feel better. But Ethan and Lucy loved him and that was more than he’d ever made anyone else feel.

Lucy took Ethan’s hand. “We’ll meet you back at camp. Let’s go and see about getting you some breakfast, little man.”

Ethan didn’t need to be prompted twice about food. As quick as a flash he was off to make sure he didn’t miss out on anything. Jake sighed. If only all of life’s troubles could be so easily forgotten by a bowl of cereal and a glass of chocolate milk.
