Easy, huh? Yeah, right.

After carrying her to his place, he’d left her in the spare bedroom to put her pajamas on while he found some cold medicine.

Walking back into the bedroom, he found Lucie lying sideways on the bed with only one leg in her bottoms. Thankfully, she’d managed to get her top on and a pair of panties.

“Okay, let’s get you into bed, all right?”

“Can’t move, too tired,” she grumbled as he carefully rolled her over and pulled her pajama bottoms up. Damn, her skin was smooth. He tucked her in under the covers.

“I have some cold medicine for you.” He held up the packet of pills.

“Don’t want them.” She screwed her nose up. Shit, that was cute.

“It will help you feel better.”

“Do you have some candy?”

“Candy?” Why would she want candy?

“I need something sweet afterward.”

Giving her a stern look, he sat on the bed, facing her. He’d bought the cabin furnished, which was the only reason there was a bed in here.

“Little girl, are you asking me to bribe you to take your medicine?” he asked sternly.

She gave him a pleading look. “Don’t you know the saying?”

“What saying?”

“About a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down.”

“In case you didn’t notice, I’m no Mary Poppins.”

She looked him over and grinned. “No? That’s disappointing.”

“Brat,” he muttered. “Take your medicine. No candy.”

“Not even a marshmallow?” she whined.

“I don’t have any.”

“But how do you drink your hot chocolate without marshmallows?” she asked, looking confused.

“I don’t drink hot chocolate.”

She gasped. “Who doesn’t drink hot chocolate?”

“I don’t really eat sweet things.”

Another gasp. Then her eyes filled with tears. “You didn’t like my snickerdoodles?”

Oh, fuck.

“Um, no.”

“That’s why you returned them. What about the chocolate chip cookies?”

Crap. A tear dripped down her cheek, making him feel panicky. He’d never been able to handle Gemma’s tears, and it seemed the same was true with Lucie.

“Rocky took the chocolate chip cookies,” he admitted.

“And the muffins? Did you throw them all out?”

“The muffins were good,” he admitted.

She sniffled.

“Don’t cry,” he told her gruffly. “I liked the muffins and the banana bread.”

“You’re just saying that.”

“Little girl, do I seem like the type who says things that aren’t true?”

“No, you’re honest even when it’s not very polite.”

He grimaced. He deserved that.

“Sorry I forced my baking on you.”

“Lucie,” he grasped hold of her hand, squeezing it gently. “You have nothing to apologize for. Now, time for your medicine.” He held up the pills.

“I don’t like taking them,” she grumbled.

“Well, I don’t have any liquid medicine or suppositories,” he told her.

“Nobody is sticking anything in my butt,” she protested.

“Well, that’s a shame since I only have a rectal thermometer.”

She gave him a suspicious look, and he grinned. He couldn’t help but tease her.

Concern filled him as her eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open.

“What? What is it?” he asked her, rubbing his cheek. Did he have something on his face?

“You smiled. I’ve never seen you smile.”

He’d smiled before, hadn’t he?

“I didn’t think you knew how.”

He rolled his eyes. “Come on, open up.
