Chapter 14

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Nick asked Macy for at least the tenth time. He thought maybe he was more worried about her interview than she was.

“I’m sure,” she said, serenely and with no apparent concerns. The exact same way she’d answered the question the other nine times he had asked it.

“Do you need anything?”

“No.” She shook her head, and turned to look out the window. Her hands were primly folded on her lap. Her attire was fashionable, modern, and professional. She looked like she was already a vet with a thriving practice.

Of course, his vet didn’t look like Macy. Dr. Douglas usually wore clothing he didn’t mind destroying, he’d once explained to Nick during a routine procedure involving Riley. Who had contributed to the conversation by trying to destroy Dr. Douglas’s clothing.

“When do you want me to pick you up?” Geez, he sounded like his own maiden aunt who stressed and fretted about everything.

But the outcome of this interview could severely impact his life. That might be the reason why he was so worried. He also understood this was important to Macy. It still didn’t constitute why he was the nervous wreck and she serenity herself.

“I’ll call you when I’m finished,” she said. He thought she hummed to herself under her breath. All four of his kids did that.

For some reason, it comforted him. He could handle this. Macy was interviewing for something she wanted desperately. Who cared that it was a good two hour drive? He did. He knew she wouldn’t be able to attend this school and still live with them. If she accepted a slot here in Philadelphia, she’d have to live here as well. She would be so busy there was no other alternative. In the fall she would leave and likely forget all about them.

He glanced at her from the corner of his eye and tried to imagine life without her. Nick wanted to yell and punch something when he thought of not only the upheaval in their lives, but the fact that he wouldn’t see her every day.

A portion of happiness would be sucked out of their lives. He hated the very thought.

“Are you ready for this interview?”

“Yes.” She smiled in a zen-like way. There seemed to be no doubt in her mind as to the outcome of this interview. How could she be so confident?

“Want me to help you find the building where you’re going?” Nick thought he’d asked that question a few times already.

“No, I have a good idea where it is. Thanks.”

“I can be a little late meeting this client.”

“I’m fine. I’ll be fine.” She hummed a tuneless melody under her breath again.

Why now? Why did she have to be accepted now that he’d found the perfect person to bring order to his chaotic house?

His kids liked her. She kept everyone in necessities, disciplined the kids, fought for them, helped them, she could cook, she even knew math. He’d never had a nanny who sat down regularly and helped Savannah with her math homework.
