Chapter Fifteen

OTHER THAN DEALING with a week of ribbing from his family and friends about the photograph of him and Parker kissing on the cover of Us Weekly, Grayson had had a damn good week. And it passed at a perfect pace, each day beginning and ending with Parker in his arms. Christmas adjusted well to Parker’s new bedmate. The smart dog waited until they were done with their evening lovemaking to crawl not so stealthily to the foot of the bed, where he slept until morning. They definitely needed a bigger bed, but Grayson didn’t mind the company. After all, Christmas had been there before him, and the big dog needed love, too.

By Saturday the three of them had fallen into sync with other aspects of their lives as easily as they’d fallen into each other’s hearts. Grayson spent his days at Grunter’s working on the railing, which Parker had made only one change to—adding two birds for Christmas. Christmas had jumped into his truck and gone to work with him twice this week, and he had to admit he liked the company. He liked the railings even more as each piece was forged and the roots came to life, just as he’d noticed Parker coming into her own as time passed and she healed from her grief. She’d gone out with Sky and the girls twice this week, and now they were texting one another like old friends, which thrilled him to no end.

Parker had loved the script she’d been given, and it seemed like that had started a flurry of activity, including a barrage of emails and phone calls, texts, and scheduling of future meetings. When her calls ran late, Grayson used that time to fit in a run. But he didn’t crave those runs the way he had before Parker came into his life. Now he craved their intimate mornings and shared evenings, when they walked on the beach with Christmas and watched the sunset, met friends for dinner, or talked into the wee hours, sharing their hopes and dreams. Lately Grayson found himself imagining a future with Parker. He had no trouble picturing the life they’d share or even the family they’d raise, as long as he didn’t try to figure out the logistics. He got hung up there every time.

He pushed those thoughts away now, as sunshine and a cool bay breeze streamed through the open French doors, filling the living room with the promise of a beautiful Saturday. Grayson reached for Parker’s hand and sat down beside her at the table, where she’d spread out the contents of Bert’s safe-deposit box. He took in the numerous unopened envelopes, yellowing with age and dating back to the early seventies. He picked up a photograph of a man, Bert, he assumed, and a much younger Parker, getting his first glimpse of the girl she’d been and the man who had been her everything. Her hair was longer and all one length, not layered or styled, like she wore it now.
