February 10th

“Will you come?” I ask, giving Lucy my best attempt at puppy dog eyes.

It’s been almost three months since I learned she was pregnant. Three months of not letting her push me away. Three months of being there for her in any way I could.

It took time, but she’s finally starting to consider me a friend.

She avoids my eyes. “I’m not sure. I wouldn’t want to intrude on your time with your family.”

If anything, my family has done nothing but push their ways into her life once it became clear I had feelings for her, Abby in particular. The only reason I got to bring her to her doctor appointment today was because one of Abby’s closings got pushed up.

My eyebrows shoot up. “Intrude? I’m inviting you. You won’t be intruding. Besides, our Thompson March birthdays slash St. Patrick’s Day party is a tradition you have to experience.”

She doesn’t look convinced. “Remind me whose birthdays are in March again.”

When my mouth drops open, she hurriedly adds, “Besides yours.”

I grin, pleased she remembered. “Good save. Eli, Finley, and Paige.”

“Will Finley be back from Texas for it?”

Noah and Finley have been in Texas working on their beach house and helping Finley’s cousin Heather and her boyfriend Malcolm move into their new place. Considering she’s due in May, Finley is mainly supervising.

“They’ll be back,” I say.

She nonchalantly looks out the passenger window. “Don’t you want to bring a date?”

I bite back a smile. “You can be my date.”

The weight of her gaze hits me. “I don’t want them to get the wrong idea about our relationship. Half of the nurses at my doctor’s office think I’m having your baby.”

Let them think that. “Is that so bad?”

From the corner of my eye I watch her cross her arms. “You did not just ask that.”

I hazard a glance her way. “I did. Don’t pretend you don’t already know I plan to be here for you once the baby is here.”

She deflates, a whoosh of breath leaving her. “Gideon.”

“Do you have to be home anytime soon?”

Her chest rises as she inhales. “Why?”

Nothing is easy with her. Even so, I can’t lie, it’s one of the things I like most about her. “We’re going to make a detour.”

“Is this your way of changing the subject?”

I shake my head. “I’m not changing the subject, just the location where we’ll have it.”

She doesn’t say anything right away. My pulse picks up while I wait for her to fight me.

“Where are we going?”

Relief flows through me. “I thought we could stop for hot cocoa.”

Her arms uncross as she points out the window. “You’ve passed at least three places that serve it.”

“I’m not stopping at a gas station for this conversation.”

She lowers her arm. “Okay, where then?”

It’s my turn to point out the window. “There.”

Leaning forward, she squints in the direction I’m pointing. “Do you mean Woodlake Mountain?”

I nod. “Have you ever been to the lodge?”

She smiles to herself. “When I was little, grandpa taught me how to ski on Woodlake.
