Chapter Thirteen

Megan reached across the kitchen table and placed her hand on top of Dan’s.

“You okay?”

Dan pushed away his empty breakfast plate.

“Yeah. Just still thinking about my visit with LeAnn yesterday.”

Megan glanced at his mug. “More coffee?”

Dan pulled his hand out from under hers.

“I’ll get it.” He stood. “How about you? More tea?”

“Sure.” She leaned back in the chair and watched him put the kettle on the burner.

He filled his mug with coffee then walked over to the tea tin.

“You’re sure she isn’t going to change her mind?” Megan asked.

“About moving my brother’s things out of the house before he gets back here?” He shook his head. “She was pretty adamant. She says the marriage is over. No sense pretending otherwise.”

Megan thought about Dan’s brother. She didn’t really know Gabe Parker all that well. He was a few years younger than she and Dan were. He seemed nice enough. But she couldn’t blame LeAnn either.

“I wouldn’t like it if you took off for months, or even longer, to follow the racing circuit. That had to be tough on her for all these years.”

“In his defense, he never wanted to do anything else. She knew that going into the marriage. Of course, they married young. Maybe neither one of them knew what they wanted at that point.”

“Yeah. I’m not saying I know what went on between the two of them. Or that it’s any of my business.” She watched him pour the hot water into her tea mug.

Dan set the mug in front of Megan and sat back down with his coffee.

“I feel the same way. I want to help, but I’m not qualified to play marriage counselor.”

“What are you going to do?” she asked as she dipped the bag up and down in the water.

He shrugged. “What LeAnn asked me to do. She has his stuff all packed. I’m going to pick it up and find another place for him to live. At least he’ll have some place to go when he gets back here.”

“Still. It’s going to be a surprise,” she pointed out.

“Yeah. And not a good one,” he agreed. “But it’s better than not doing anything for him.”

“What made him decide to come back here now?” Megan pulled the tea bag out and set it on Dan’s empty plate before curling her hands around the hot mug.

“I have no idea. Maybe he knows something is up with LeAnn and he’s finally worried about it?” Dan’s face showed the confusion he felt. “Who knows with him. Maybe he’s finally ready to settle down.”

“Only to find it’s too late?” she said.

“Yeah. Anyway, what are you up to today?”

“I think we’re ready for our guests this weekend.”

“May, Lotta, and Nellie, right?”

“Yes. They’ve stayed with me several times before. They enjoy knitting while they visit with each other.” A smile played at her lips.

“Any special needs?” he asked.

“You need to have a good sense of humor,” Megan nodded before blowing on her tea.

“Humor would be good, right about now.” Dan stretched out one long leg.
