Chapter Twelve

Kay stood in front of the full-length mirror turning this way and that. "Are you sure I look okay?"

"You're beautiful," Nicole said with a smile. "I always wanted to be tall. Do I pass muster? I've never had many clothes and my wardrobe is especially limited here."

"Why don't you make Dalton take you on a shopping trip? He can afford it."

"I really don't need anything. I have lived in jeans for years. Besides, I don't want him paying for my clothes. I still feel guilty over wrecking his truck."

"You paid for it, didn't you?" Kay asked.

"In more ways than one," Nicole grimaced and resisted the urge to rub her backside. "Actually, I only paid the difference between the insurance payoff and its real worth. Is Mark on board with Roy Mac threatening his man-to-man talk?"

"He has agreed to come. I told him he can ignore whatever Dad says to him," Kay said. "What about Dalton? He has surprised me lately. He was the one making the biggest stink when they first found out I wanted to date Mark. He's been suspiciously quiet since he discovered we are dating."

Nicole didn't comment. She looked out the window when a car drove up and parked in front of the house. "Mark's here."

"Wish me luck!" Kay exclaimed not waiting for an answer. She dashed from the room and down the stairs.

Nicole went into her son's room where Dalton was helping him get dressed. "You're looking real spiffy there, kid," she teased him.

"Why do I have to wear fancy clothes," Matty grumbled.

"Long pants and a nice shirt aren't fancy clothes," Nicole corrected him. "Gran and Roy Mac have a guest tonight. It won't hurt you to wear something besides a tee shirt and shorts for a few hours."

"We want you to be on your best behavior," Dalton said combing the boy's hair.

"Can I have ice cream after supper?"

"Maybe, if you behave," Dalton agreed. As Matty ran from the room, Nicole called after him to be careful on the stairs.

Dalton laughed. "He only has one speed—fast." He pulled Nicole to him and kissed her.

"I need you to behave tonight," Nicole warned. "Be nice to Mark. Whatever goes down, it is between Kay and her parents. You are only a bystander."

"She's my little sister."

Nicole gave him the firm mother look she was trying to perfect. "Tonight, she is your grandparents' daughter, which makes her your aunt. I know the relationship is wonky because of your age differences, but you need to stay clear of this."

Dalton frowned as he cupped her bottom in his hands. "What do I get for being good?"

Nicole laughed. "Will you be a good boy?"

"There's nothing boy about me," he warned nipping at her lips. "I'm all man. Prepare yourself to reward me."

She wiggled out of his arms. "Later, big boy, later…" she teased.

Mark was seated beside Kay on one side while Nicole and Dalton were on the opposite side of the large dining room table. Matty was in a chair at the lower end of the table.
