Jeb stood straight and watched the dark haired woman.

She hadn’t changed much. If anything she seemed to have filled out a little more and it suited her. Jeb always thought she was a little on the slender side. It seemed like yesterday when she was nearly a part of their family. Glen didn’t talk about it, not once, since that day. None of them knew what had really happened, and out of respect, no one asked.

She stilled when she saw him, “Hello JC.” She said politely overcoming her momentary shock.

“Monique.” He answered with a nod. Only for a second he saw some flash of deep sorrow flash in her dark brown eyes then a question.

“H-how is everyone?”

“All pains in the ass.” He answered with a smile.

She gave him a small unsure one and nodded.

“Glen’s fine too.” He added knowing what she meant.

“Thank you.” She said genuinely before turning to the man with her, “this is John Cutter. He’s my—well—“

“I’m her fiancé.” He said pleasantly while putting his arm around Monique’s waist protectively.

Jeb glanced at the expensive car and nodded. Obviously Monique found money after all. “I heard about your father. My condolences.” He was a lawyer, and died of a heart attack three days ago. As far as lawyers went, he wasn’t wealthy at all, which made them all know that he wasn’t very good at his job. He also seemed miserable most times when they’d met him, but he seemed respectful enough to them. Glen seemed a little irritable lately and maybe it was because he knew Monique would come back to town for the funeral and he was worried about seeing her. It actually surprised him that Cara’s words hurt him the night before, because it just revealed how much he still let that incident bother him.

Just then the door opened and a little girl around four, climbed out, “Mommy, can you get me an ice cream.”

Jeb’s eyes riveted on the little girl who had his identical eyes, more importantly, Glen’s. She had long black hair and was

quite pretty. Then he gave Monique a questioning look.

John cleared his throat, “Come on honey, I’ll take you.” He answered her seeming to understand that the two needed to talk. He cast a glance at the two of them before he went to the little girl and took her hand.

“Thanks.” Monique said.

“No problem. Are you going to be okay?” “I will.” She said truthfully.

John nodded seeming satisfied with her response, and gave Jeb another look before he walked off down the sidewalk.

Jeb saw the concern in the man’s eyes and he felt his ire rise. He wouldn’t ever lay a hand on Monique or any woman for that matter. Until Glen found out her true intentions, he really liked her. He thought that she genuinely cared for him.

Monique shifted uncomfortably, “Please don’t say

anything.”

“Glen doesn’t know.” If he did there was no way in hell that little girl wouldn’t be under their roof now. Glen loved children. They all did.

She shook her head.
