Caroline and Josh waited in the meeting room for the vicar to stop faffing about and join them. A sharp elbow hit Josh’s side, making him flinch. “What was that for?”

“You can’t kiss your way out of trouble, Josh McInnes.” Caroline’s voice was low, even though they were the only two in the room.

“That’s not what I’ve been told.” He couldn’t help but smirk. His lips had gotten him out of all sorts of trouble.

“So,” the vicar said as he entered the room. “How did you two get on with the homework?”

Caroline was all business again. “We did well. We’re working our way through the book. I think we have about half answered now. Right?”

She turned to Josh, who couldn’t begin to express how much he didn’t care about the homework. “Right.” Even he could hear it lacked conviction.

The vicar didn’t seem convinced, but he limited his criticism to a glare. He smiled at Caroline. “Caroline and I had a chat this week about the ceremony. She’s agreed to the common vows, although she refuses to vow to obey.”

Josh burst out laughing. “Sorry.” He held up a finger, asking for a minute. “That’s better. I’m fine now. It’s passed. I’m serious. This is serious.” He cleared his throat. “It would have been surprising if she had vowed to obey.”

Caroline glowered at him. “No woman vows to obey these days.”

Josh patted her knee. “Especially you, baby. I’m pretty sure you’re genetically incapable.”

She gave him the evil eye. “Do you want me to vow to obey?”

He tried to swallow the laughter that bubbled up as he held up his hand in surrender. “I want you to vow what you’re happy with and then stick with it.”

“That doesn’t answer the question.”

“No.” Josh was struggling to keep it together. “No, I don’t want you to vow to obey.”

She stuck her little nose in the air, pleased that he’d clearly come to the correct conclusion. Josh started to laugh again as his stomach muscles began to cramp.

“Don’t mind him,” she told the vicar. “He’s easily amused.”

The vicar studied them for a moment. “So, when do you two want to start a family?”

“Straight away,” Josh said as Caroline said, “In a year or so.”

They looked at each other as the vicar patted his belly, obviously pleased with himself.

“You want to try for a family straight off?” Caroline seemed terrified at the thought.

“I’m not getting any younger.” Josh wanted to add and neither are you, but thought better of it.

“You’re only thirty-five; you have years ahead of you to make babies.” She blushed. “I mean have children. I thought we’d spend some time getting to know each other first before we added children to the mix. Men don’t have a deadline—there’s no hurry for you.”

Josh inclined his head and gave her a searing look through his lashes. She bit her bottom lip as she watched him. He hoped her thoughts had gone in the same direction his had gone—south. Very south. Straight to the baby-making part of this discussion.
