CHAPTER EIGHT

Except for trading Sara back and forth, Zeke managed to avoid Kendra for five whole days. He thought he’d armored himself against her appeal by the time he pounded on her door the next Sunday morning.

But when she answered, she was dressed in a mahogany-colored skirt and sweater that looked stunning on her slender figure. And she was holding Sara, who wore something yellow and lacy, with little yellow shoes.

His heart melted. They looked so cute together with their red hair, Kendra’s in glorious profusion and Sara’s just a few wisps sticking out from under a brimmed yellow hat.

That was the problem: they looked too good. Kendra looked too good.

Zeke was a little upset with her about how she’d initiated that incredible kiss. But if he was a little upset with her, he was furious at himself.

He should have known better, but he had let a tempting situation develop and it had led him down the wrong path. He had no intention of marrying her, or even dating her seriously, so he had no business touching her. He was determined he wasn’t going to lapse again.

Days of thinking about it had resulted in an inescapable conclusion—there was only one way to make sure Sara was raised in a good home with good values. And that was for him to gain sole custody of her. He’d thought that maybe, just maybe, he and Kendra could work out joint custody together. But after the sparks between them had ignited into a wildfire, he knew that working together was too dangerous.

“What do you want?” Kendra’s voice was cool, calm, but the dark circles under her eyes told a different story. She must not have been sleeping well either.

“I need to get online for a few minutes,” he said. It was inconvenient that he’d have to email his lawyers from here, but Kendra wasn’t one to look over his shoulder while he worked.

“That’s okay, I guess.” She looked distracted, and then her cellphone buzzed. She shifted Sara on her hip and grabbed it.

Zeke stood half-in, half-out.

“Hello?” She waved him inside.

Once he was in, there was no way not to eavesdrop.

“Oh, hi, I was wondering…really?”

Sara tugged at Kendra’s necklace, babbling a happy string of nonsense syllables.

“Is he okay?” she said finally.

Sara kept making noise, so Zeke went over and took her. He was happy that she came to him with a smile.

“No, no, don’t worry about it. I can get there. I can call a friend. Really, Anne, it’s no problem.”

She listened again. Zeke sat down at the table with Sara on his lap and wondered where they were headed. Surely not church? He was afraid to put Sara down on the floor in the pretty pastel outfit.

“That’s right. Stay home and take care of him. I’ll see you soon.”

She said her goodbyes and then hung up and looked at Sara, frowning.

“What’s wrong?” Zeke asked.

“Oh, my car’s acting up and I was going to get a ride to church with Bob and Anne, but he’s not feeling well.
