Grant hoped that this trip with Maurie to get his son wouldn’t scare her off. But it was probably good for Joy to know that there was someone else in his life. No matter how new things with Maurie were. If he and Maurie continued dating, then Trent would be meeting her eventually. And now it would be sooner than later.

Besides, if Joy met Maurie, then she’d know who Trent was talking about when he returned home. Grant could very well imagine the tirade that Joy would bestow upon him if she learned about Maurie through Trent.

Yes, Grant knew things were moving pretty fast with Maurie, and he justified it with the fact that he’d known her years ago. He’d never connected with someone as quickly as Maurie, and he realized now that maybe their connection hadn’t ever been lost. It had been there the whole time.

As they drove through the winter night, they talked mostly about Trent, but there were patches of silence as well. Comfortable silences. Something that Grant had never had with Joy. If she was quiet, it meant a storm was brewing.

By the time they pulled up to the gated community that housed Joy’s home with Stone, nerves had settled in Grant’s stomach. Although they’d been divorced almost four years, seeing Joy always brought back the hard memories of how controlling Joy was. How she’d treated him. How he’d allowed it.

Joy’s house was lit up, lights spilling from the windows onto the winter lawn. Grant pulled into the driveway and looked over at Maurie. “You don’t have to come in, but I’d like you to.”

“I’ll come in,” Maurie said.

“Thanks,” Grant said. “I’ll probably be telling you that a lot tonight.”

Maurie smiled. “You already have.”

He climbed out of the SUV and opened Maurie’s door, then they walked up to the front door, and Grant knocked. He rarely rang doorbells, since he always wondered if there could be a child sleeping inside a house. Old habit, he supposed.

The door opened seconds later, and Grant looked down to see his son. Trent’s blue eyes and light-brown hair made the kid a mini-me of Grant. Just the sight of his son after so many weeks made Grant’s heart swell.

Trent wrapped his arms about Grant’s legs, and he stooped to hug his son and kiss the top of his head. “Hey, buddy,” he said. “I heard you were sick.”

“Yep,” Trent said.

Grant crouched to meet him at eye level. “What happened?” At this close of inspection, Grant noticed how Trent’s cheeks were pale, and his eyes had a drowsy look.

“It hurts to swallow.” Trent pressed his fingers against his throat. “The doctor said I have a scratched throat.”

“I can tell,” Grant said. “Do you want to come stay with me for a few days?”

Trent nodded, his gaze solemn.

Grant smiled. “Good. My friend Maurie came with me to pick you up.”

Trent looked up at Maurie and gave her a shy smile.

“Hi, Trent,” Maurie said in a soft voice.

“I have a scratched throat,” Trent said.
