Chapter Twenty

They arrived at Susan and Bob’s at two thirty Saturday afternoon. “How was the flight, dear?” Susan’s smile was so bright it lit up the room.

“Good.” Evan smiled, giving her a hug.

Theresa, Tony, and Kelsey had been utterly awed by his luxurious private plane stocked with gourmet food and drinks. Evan had done his best to make them all feel comfortable, but as he had an important Maverick contract the other guys were waiting on him to review, Paige was the one who truly smoothed the way for the three newcomers.

All the while, Evan had been almost painfully aware of Paige. How good she looked in her jeans and sweater. How soft her hair was when she flipped it over her shoulder, a few strands brushing his face. How beautiful her eyes were when she smiled. How lovely the sound of her laughter. On top of that, Paige’s fragrance had been something new, light and fruity and more intoxicating than the champagne they were drinking.

Every time they’d been together since New Year’s was still fresh inside his head, his heart. It wasn’t just their attraction that drew him to her. It was the way she made him think. It was how brave she was in facing up to her past mistakes with her sister and her father. It was how confident she was that anything truly was possible.

God, how she must have suffered over that promise she’d made to her mother. He should have known there’d been something like that in her past. But she was so strong, so courageous, so caring. Take the treat she’d planned in San Francisco, suggesting they see Andy Weir together. No one else would have known how much that would mean to him. But Paige did. She was everything a man could need.

And now he needed to get it together. Especially when he was in the same room with Susan.

While Bob was hanging up coats and jackets, Evan made the introductions. “Meet my brother, Tony, and my sister, Kelsey.” He felt proud saying it. Theresa had done a good job there.

“Oh my Lord.” Susan grabbed Tony’s arms, held on to him as she looked up into his face. “You’re the spitting image of Evan.” Then she took Kelsey’s hand. “You’re beautiful, honey.”

Kelsey blushed. “Thank you.”

“I can’t wait to get to know you both better. Evan is so proud of the two of you.” Then she passed them on to Bob, who gave them each a big bear hug. That was where Daniel had learned how to hug, from his dad.

“And Theresa.” She’d hung back, still shy and hesitant, despite Paige’s cheerful chatter on the flight. Susan took Theresa’s hand in both of hers. “It is so lovely to finally meet you.”

“Thank you. You too.” But when Theresa’s eyes met Evan’s again, he read her clear confusion: How can she think it’s lovely to meet me when I abandoned my son to her?

Though Theresa had
