“I wish I’d been there to see her face when Bonnie asked her to leave." Just the thought of it had Jace grinning ear to ear.

Noel tapped her meal with her fork. “Yep. Between that and this amazing roast, Bonnie may officially be my hero. I kind of wish I were a fly on the wall in Mom and Dad’s house tonight.”

“Me, too.” Jace took a bite of his roast. It was some of the best he’d ever tasted. Bonnie crossed his mind, and he wished she’d taken him up on his offer to eat with them.

He wanted to regret spilling his guts to her about his family and about what happened with Samantha, but he couldn’t. He’d spent the last year and a half keeping everything personal from Bonnie. Telling her had been therapeutic in a lot of ways.

The best part was having the chance to learn more about her. He was quickly discovering that spending time with her was highly addicting.

Which brought Jace back to wishing she were here with them tonight. Yet, after he’d drilled it into her that she shouldn’t have anything to do with his evening meals, how could he blame her for not?

Gunner finished his helping of potatoes but hadn’t touched much of his roast. The kiddo never did care much for meat, though, unless it was chicken.

Jace warmed up three chicken nuggets and handed them to his eager son.

They finished their evening meal. Jace bathed his son, they played for a while, and then Jace got the sleepy little guy down for the night.

After tucking him in, Jace glanced out an upstairs window, relieved to spot her car in the driveway. Truthfully, the turn into the ranch could be difficult to see at night, and he hated the idea of her driving around out there unable to find it.

He withdrew his phone and sent her a text. “Noel and I enjoyed the roast. It was amazing. Thanks again for having that ready this evening. I hope you had a good visit with your family.”

He looked outside again, imagining her hearing the ping of his text and swiping her phone’s screen to read it.

Moments later, his phone announced a reply.

Jace smiled as he read it.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I had a good time. It was just what I needed.”

He wanted to keep chatting with her but didn’t know what to say. Instead, he typed, “I’m glad. Have a good night, Bonnie.”

There was no response at first. Jace headed back downstairs again. Just as he reached the landing, the welcome ping sounded.

“You, too.”
