A few hours later, Gage pulled into a spot near the scenic overlook he liked to visit and jammed the transmission of his SUV into park. Kylie had been awfully quiet in the passenger seat since they’d left his house. He’d tried to get her talking several times to no avail. He hoped maybe the nature would do the trick. Not that he planned on getting too deep into things with her, but not talking was awkward too. And damn if he still wasn’t curious about why she’d fled the night before.

“Here we are,” he said, with far more enthusiasm than required. “I’ll get the stuff unloaded from the back, if you want to get the twins out.”

“Sure,” she said, not looking at him as she exited the vehicle.

Yep. Something was up there. Even a guy who kept to himself like Gage could tell.

They’d stopped at a deli on the way up here and picked up a couple boxed lunches for them. He’d packed the twins diaper bag full of bottles of formula and supplies before he’d left the house. They were about two hours from home near Puerco Canyon and the ocean. There were several nature spots closer to his house, but Gage liked the views from here and the weather was perfect. Besides, none of them had anywhere specific to be, so why not enjoy the gorgeous day?

He walked over to a clearing with a view of the canyon below and the Pacific in the distance and spread out the plaid blanket he’d brought on the ground before setting the cooler atop it along with the diaper bag. Then he went back to the SUV to get the car seats out of the back and help with the twins. Once they were all settled on the blanket and the babies had been changed and fed, he and Kylie sat and ate their lunches while soaking in the peaceful vibes of the area.

“Hey, in case I said something to upset you last night when I mentioned wanting kids of my own someday, I’m sorry,” he said, around a bite of his Italian sub. “Not sure why it would bother you, but it’s none of my business.”

She shook her head, still staring out over the beautiful vista below. “No. It’s fine.”

A shadow of sadness passed over her face, so fast Gage might’ve missed it if he hadn’t been watching her so closely. She nibbled on her veggie burger and sighed.

“You know, I always wanted a family of my own, but never imagined it would happen so suddenly with the twins arriving,” he said, not sure why he was continuing to spill his guts to her, other than it felt nice to have someone he could share things with again and because Kylie had a great smile and he wanted to see it again. “Honestly, a lot of the time I doubt I’ll make a good father. With what happened to my parents and all, I have no idea what I’m doing.
