CHAPTER 12

I went into Wednesday with a wide plan of attack.

I sat on Riggs' lap when Mitt was in the shower.

His surprise was muted and his eyes narrowed at me.

Instead of saying anything, I kissed him.

His response was instant, kissing me back. Maybe he thought kissing was safe. I drove the point home with my mouth that I was not going to let go.

Sometimes you had to do what you felt in your heart. Everybody always said to follow your heart, but when it came to situations like this, everyone disapproved.

So we weren't always supposed to follow our hearts. We were only supposed to do what other people expected.

How was that fair?

No, Mitt, I could understand. If he didn't want me and Riggs to be together again, then I was trespassing on the mutual understanding we had with each other. He was my husband and I owed him my loyalty.

But I was loyal. I didn't want to leave him for Riggs. I wanted both.

I broke the kiss breathlessly and got off him in a rush. I sat at his side and excitedly grabbed his hand with both of mine. "Hey…"

He licked his lips. "I think you got my attention with that kiss."

"No, no. Listen." I squeezed his hand. "You stay here with us and pay rent—"

"I don't have any money."

"Come train with my family to be a roofer."

"A roofer?"

"Sure, your career test mentioned physical activity. Baseball is outdoors and so is roofing. My parents would pick you up in a heartbeat."

"Because they feel sorry for me?"

I sighed. "They might, but if you were willing to learn… You'd be perfect."

He scratched his chin. "You really think they would?"

I bounced on the cushion. "Absolutely. It's not like you aren't suited for the work with that physique."

His eyebrow went up. "A roofer, huh?"

"We could ride together to work every morning."

His eyes shifted, moved to mine, and went still. He swallowed.

I said, "It would be perfect."

"Does Mitt know about this?"

"No, I just thought of it. You have no job and nowhere to go. You don't have to go anywhere; you can rent from us and work for my parents."

"If they hire me."

"Trust me, they will. Finding good help is hard. You would have to work, though."

"That doesn't scare me. Beats working at Walmart."

I squeezed his bicep in encouragement. "I'm going to call mom."

"Wait, what about Mitt?"

I laughed. "He'll think it's a great idea."

His tone was dubious. "Are you sure?"

I poked him in the chest and put my lips close to his. I breathed, "I know my husband…"

"All right…"

I bounced off the couch and picked up my cell.

"Stephie? Hi."

"Hey, mom."

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, remember I told you Riggs was back?"

"Sure, honey."

"He used a career tester and found he would be good at physical activity like construction. Do you think you and dad could hire him on and train him?"

"Is that something he wants to do?"

"If you would hire him, yes. He likes the outdoors and is in great shape."

"I don't know; I'll have to talk to your father.
