Shayla didn’t sleep well, and the blame rested on Mike’s shoulders. Different scenarios flittered through her mind, Mike moving to Nashville, her returning to Milwaukee.

But most of all, it was how they would personally interact together in raising their son.

The kiss. It all came down to that toe-curling, heart-thumping kiss.

Pushing her tangled hair out of her eyes, she silently left her bed and headed into the bathroom. Brodie was still sleeping, a fact for which she was eternally grateful. Days like this, when she was exhausted from lack of sleep, it was better for her to have a cup of coffee under her belt before dealing with her son.

When she emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later, she crossed to the kitchen counter, surprised to find a half pot of coffee already brewed. She sniffed at the contents, confirming it was fresh, before pouring herself a cup. She added a dollop of milk before taking a sip.

The kitchen table was a mess, papers and items strewed over the surface. Did Mike always work in a messy chaos? The thought made her smile. Curious about where Mike was, she went into the living room to find him stretched out on the sofa, sound asleep.

Had he worked all night? The fresh coffee seemed to indicate he had.

She stared at him for a moment, his face relaxed in sleep, thinking about how handsome he looked. Mike’s facial features reminded her of Brodie and she was a little shocked at how much their son took after his father.

As if sensing her gaze, Mike’s eyelids fluttered open. He groaned and swung upright. “Good morning.”

“Morning.” She tipped her head, thinking he looked worse than she felt. “How long have you been asleep?”

He squinted at his watch. “About thirty minutes. But I also slept for a couple of hours between midnight and three thirty.”

“Four hours isn’t much.”

“I’ve had less.” He yawned and staggered to his feet. “I’ll make eggs for breakfast after a quick shower.”

Back in the kitchen, she took one look at the table and decided it was better to start making breakfast, leaving the cleanup for Mike. For all she knew, he had some sort of weird organization system going that she wasn’t able to decipher.

Mike emerged from the bathroom, looking refreshed and cleanly shaved. He instantly began packing up his notes. “I thought we’d run to the hospital to visit your father today.”

“You did?” She was pleased he’d thought of it. But then remembering the detour and resulting gunfire at the stone bridge, she frowned. “Are you sure it’s safe?”

Mike hesitated and then nodded. “I have a plan on how to ensure your safety.”

She eyed him warily. “What kind of plan?”

“My brothers are heading out here this afternoon and I thought we could get them to meet us at a designated spot where we can change vehicles. Kind of like leapfrog with cars. The next brother will meet with us at another location and we’ll swap again. We can use the same technique on the way home.
