Chapter Eight

Guy shoved the folded-up pizza box into the recycling can in the mudroom just off the kitchen. The two slices of pepperoni he’d just eaten sat like boulders in his gut.

“Okay, Dad. Spill it,” Jonathan said, wiping his hands on a napkin. “You’ve been weird all through dinner. I can tell something’s bothering you, and I know this is about that guy you met hiking. You met for lunch today, right?”

Guy nodded. Lunch and other things, not that Jonathan needs to know every detail. His cheeks heated, and he busied himself with washing his hands until he was certain he had his embarrassment under control.

Jonathan balled up his napkin and tossed it in the trash. “You know I think it’s cool that he asked you out, right? And I think you’re a fool if you ignore what you did to the tree. This guy is probably your soulmate.”

Guy pressed his lips together as he dried his hands, and then he took his time folding and hanging the dishtowel on the handle of the oven. He was not at all sure he wanted to be having this conversation with his son. The small pouch in his pocket that held his soulmate rings felt as heavy as lead.

“You’re not going to ignore this, are you?” Jonathan let out a sigh. “Please, don’t. I know you miss Mom, but it’s okay to move on.” His son grinned. “Particularly with a young, hot Delegate. I looked him up online, you know.”

Damn it. He just had to go there, didn’t he? Guy fought it, but ultimately lost the battle with the blush that rose at the thought of Theo being young and hot. The last time he’d seen his soulmate, they’d just finished fucking on the sofa. His eyes flicked to the hallway, and then he forced himself to meet his son’s gaze. He was a grown man. He could talk about this without turning into a thirteen-year-old girl. “Uh.”

Jonathan snorted. “‘Uh?’” He walked over to the table and sat down. “You look like a teenager who just got caught nipping at his parents’ vodka. Please tell me you did more than eat at lunch today. I will be highly disappointed if you didn’t even kiss the guy.”

Okay, that’s it. I am not talking to my son about my sex life. Guy scowled. “Give me a minute, okay?” He sighed and sat down across from his son, debating how to spill the news. Maybe I should just show him, he thought.

Jonathan sat back, staring at him as though he already knew what Guy was going to say.

Not likely, Guy thought, reaching into his pocket. He drew out the small pouch holding his and Theo’s soulmate rings. He’d been carrying it around all day.

Jonathan looked at the bag. “Is that what I think it is?”

Guy spilled the rings onto the table. “If you think they’re soulmate rings, then that’s what they are.”

“Holy shit.” Jonathan reached out to touch one, but then drew his hand back. “Whose are they?”

Guy gave his son a look.
