Meg could cook. I didn’t know if it was because she was from the South—and I’d heard all Southern women knew how to cook up some decent grub, but damn…her fish fry beat anything else I’d ever eaten.

Hands down.

“This is so good,” I told her, shoveling another forkful into my mouth.

She looked up, a slight grin on her lips, and continued shredding Brayden’s fish with her fork. The “Y” bones in Northern Pikes made cleaning them difficult, so I’d warned her before he dove in. She took me seriously because his fillet now looked like a pile of mush.

But at least there weren’t any bones in it.

“That’s the fifth time you’ve said that.” She hid her smile behind her water glass.

“I know. Because it’s that good. Where’d you learn to cook like this?”

Something sad flashed in her eyes. “My mom was an incredible cook. Started making me help her as soon as I could stand at the counter.”

Brayden’s head jerked up. “I help Mom, too.”

“Bet you’re good at it,” I told Brayden and refocused my attention on Meg. “You see her much?” I asked, thinking of her mom.

Meg shook her head and nodded toward Brayden. I got the hint to drop the question, but it didn’t lessen my sudden overwhelming curiosity to know everything I could about this woman.

Besides admitting to her today that I hadn’t regretted this morning, something else had shifted between us during the afternoon.

Perhaps it was when I crouched next to Brayden, helping him hold the northern while she snapped pictures. Maybe it was when the kid didn’t get on my nerves while I was cleaning the fish. Instead, he stood next to me, poking the gills and then holding up a dead fish when I was done.

It could have been the moment when he started chasing Meg around the yard with the fish afterward. Her screams almost had me doubled over in laughter.

The sound was foreign, even to me, and when I started, Meg had frozen solid in her run, snapped her head back to mine, and then let out a smile so wide I saw it in her eyes and felt it hit me in the chest.

It broke something.

Or put something back together.

I still hadn’t figured it out.

Somewhere between waking up with her ass pressed against my dick to eating food that was probably sent straight from heaven…I had actually admitted to myself that I liked this woman.

She made me feel something I hadn’t ever felt before.

She was a good piece in my life…and now that I had her, I didn’t plan on letting go of her.

I had even stopped remembering Jesse every time I looked at Brayden. Once that happened, I was able to enjoy him, too.

Truthfully, the little shit wasn’t half bad.

“Dessert?” Meg asked, and I cleared my thoughts.

Next to me, Brayden began pleading…shifting in his chair until it was hopping all over the place.

Meg scolded him with a glare. “No rocking the chair.”

“Thing could probably break,” I admitted. I’d
