Chapter Thirteen

Liam’s words—you’ve thanked me enough—echoed in Andi’s head for twenty-four hours. During that time, she kept as much distance as she could, managed to stay alone in her own bed all night, and all day, she finished revisions on the B&B expansion design and took the blueprints over to Jane Gruen for approval. On Tuesday, she cancelled her class at the college, but it was only a review for the final. She’d have to go next Tuesday.

Still, there’d been no sign of lawyers, stroller walkers, or Nora Scott, who seemed to have disappeared. Shane said Andi would likely be served with a summons of some kind from Nora, but that hadn’t happened yet.

Tonight, she felt safe, driving to Waterford Farm for a midweek family dinner.

She stole a glance at Liam, his hands somehow looking even stronger and more masculine wrapped around the tan leather steering wheel of his big Ford F-250. He’d been true to his word about never leaving her house. He’d somehow gotten clothes in the guest room/office and changed into khakis and a green polo shirt that fit snugly on his shoulders and showed off his biceps.

When he’d come out to the kitchen, Christian took one look at him, signaled for Jag to come, then the two of them disappeared. Christian returned ten minutes later, having ditched his denim shorts and a Superman T-shirt for his dress-up khakis and a baby blue polo shirt.

Andi didn’t comment on the wardrobe change, but she couldn’t help thinking about it.

It was happening. Christian was getting attached to Jag and Liam. And there was nothing Andi could do about that as long as the Nora Scott threat loomed. The threat that had been complicated by stipulations that Andi had pointedly decided not to tell Liam.

He had enough reasons to help her, and she would talk the legalities over with the lawyer Shane had arranged for her to meet tomorrow. No need to add anything to the weight on Liam’s broad shoulders. The future was her problem; he was doing enough to help her in the present.

What she needed to be doing was keeping things easy and light and warm, especially with Christian occupied with Jag and quiet and happy in the backseat of Liam’s truck.

“So, Wednesday night dinner is a Kilcannon family tradition, right?” she asked as they turned onto the last road on the way to the massive homestead where he and his siblings had grown up and now worked, with the exception of the youngest brother, Aidan, who was overseas in the military.

“Whoever is in town usually shows up. It’s like Sunday dinner, without the drinking.”

“I don’t remember much drinking at the Sunday dinner you took me to,” she said.

He answered with a silent shrug.

“Sorry, didn’t get that one,” she teased.

“My mother had died less than a year before that,” he said. “It took us a while to get the festive back on Sundays.”

“Oh.” She nodded sympathetically. “Of course. I sometimes forget because your dad seems like such a happy man.
