Chapter Eight

The next morning, Kaitlyn woke to the smell of bacon frying. Sniffing the air, she stretched and grinned then sat up quickly when she heard Sadie laughing and talking. Kaitlyn quickly climbed from the bed, threw her robe on, and ran down the hall and into the kitchen. Riley stood at the stove nodding his head at everything Sadie was saying from her spot on the floor where she watched him. Kaitlyn smiled as she heard him chuckle.

“Mama,” Sadie screamed as she got up from the floor and ran to her. Kaitlyn squatted down to catch her daughter. Her eyes met Riley’s over Sadie’s head. When he winked at her, she blushed, and heard him laugh.

“Hi Sadie-bug. Are you bothering Riley?”

“Riley.” Sadie pointed to him.

“Why didn’t you wake me?” Kaitlyn asked.

“I was going to once I had breakfast ready. Sadie and I have been up for over an hour.”

“Thank you for taking care of her.”

Nodding, Riley smiled. “Sure. She’s a real chatterbox in the mornings, isn’t she?”

Kaitlyn snorted. “Yes. Some days it seems like she talks nonstop.” After putting Sadie in her booster seat, she got herself a much-needed cup of coffee. Carrying it to the table, she pulled a chair out and sat down beside her daughter, Kaitlyn’s eyes staying on Riley. He had on his T-shirt and jeans, but he was barefoot. Enjoying the natural ease of the way the man just existed made her body come alive with desire. The man was simply gorgeous, and knowing this would all end soon enough, made her sigh.

Riley turned toward her. “You still tired? We can take a nap when Sadie does.” The silly way he waggled his eyebrows made Kaitlyn laugh.

“I have to go into work today. It may be Saturday, but I’m open. Good thing Madilyn opened for me this morning.” Her mouth twisted. “I never sleep in.”

“We were up kinda late,” Riley said softly.

“You’re up,” she exclaimed.

“Not yet, but I could be.” Riley gave her a sly grin.

“Stop it,” Kaitlyn admonished, shaking her head. “My daughter’s sitting right here.”

Riley snorted. “Like she can understand what I’m saying.”

Kaitlyn smiled, and then sobered remembering what he should have been doing the night before. “I want you to read the letters while I’m gone.” She didn’t miss how Riley’s lips twisted with distaste.

“All right. I’ll take them with me,” he muttered.

“Read them, Riley. Please,” Kaitlyn pleaded knowing he needed to know his mother loved him and wanted to see him.

Nodding, Riley carried their breakfast to the table where he set down a plate full of scrambled eggs and bacon. “I wasn’t sure what Sadie could eat, so I scrambled the eggs.”

“She can have just about anything...except the bacon. I’m afraid she’d choke on it. Scrambled eggs are great for her.” Kaitlyn put eggs on a plate and set it in front of Sadie, who squealed with delight, picked up bits of the eggs with her little fingers, and put them in her mouth. When she smacked her lips in approval, Riley and Kaitlyn both laughed.
