Chapter 10

Mason took the steps two at a time and rapped on Marly’s door loudly. She put her hands in her back pockets and rocked on her heels as she waited for Marly to answer. When the door opened, her face broke into a huge smile. “Hey.”

“Hi.” Marly pushed the screen door open. “Wanna come in?”

“Nope.” Mason shook her head no. “I want you to come out. I’m heading out to the ranch to see the baby. I thought you might want to come with me.”

“Oh, I don’t know, Mason. I don’t want to intrude.”

Mason dismissed her hesitation. “You aren’t intruding. There are so many people in that house right now, they won’t notice one more.”

Marly frowned. “I’ve got stuff to do around the house today. I have to clean the gutters, go through mom’s clothes, not to mention I have a dance class tonight.”

“Unh-uh.” Mason crossed her arms over her chest and eyed Marly impatiently. “Get your shoes on, you’re coming with me. You need to get out more, and this is a perfect excuse.”

Marly started to say no, but then she saw the look on Mason’s face, and she begrudgingly acquiesced. “I’m only doing this for the baby. Don’t think it has anything to do with you.”

“Of course not.” Mason shrugged her shoulders innocently. “I wouldn’t dream such a thing.” Mason guffawed when Marly stuck out her tongue. “Shoes…now.”

Twenty minutes later, Mason pulled alongside a car with Florida plates. “That’s Aspen’s mom and Aunt Ginny. You will love them. And the Massachusetts plate is Lex’s mom. You are in for a treat.”

Marly’s brow furrowed at Mason’s cryptic tone. She began to question her choice to come along. “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

“Yes. Now, come on.” Mason waited while Marly got out of the car then led them up the steps to the back door. She knocked softly in case Alex was asleep. A huge smile spread over her face when Nikki answered the door. “Hi.”

“Hi, beautiful.” Nikki stepped back to let them into the kitchen. “Hi, it’s Marly, right? Like the dog?”

“Not exactly.” Marly hid her eye roll as she slipped past Nikki. For the life of her, she couldn’t figure out where the appeal in six feet of purple-haired sarcasm was. She hoped for Mason’s sake, Nikki was much nicer to her.

“Nikki, who is it?” An older version of Lex shuffled into the kitchen.

“Thia, it is just friends of Lex. This is Mason, and that is Marly. This is my aunt Maria.”

Mason smiled and reached out to shake her hand, but Maria Tataris pulled them both into her arms and hugged them. She pulled away and squeezed Mason’s cheek. “Nikki tells me that you ask her out on a date. That is good. Someone needs to make an honest woman out of her. Wait till I tell my sister.”

Nikki groaned loudly. “Thia, please.”

“Don’t you thia please me. Look at my Lex. She’s all settled down, giving me babies. You…you are traipsing all over the world, giving your heart to no one.
