Steam rising from her ears, Summer hurried to wash up and throw some clothes on. How dare he appear at her home without her permission. And Ginny would be getting an earful this evening! This is not how she wanted to start her day.

She should have known Vance wouldn’t wait for her to make the next move. From what little he’d told her about his job, he was used to being aggressive, bold in his actions. Why did she expect anything less in this instance?

As she awkwardly bent over to slide on her shoes, she tried to come up with a way to get rid of him. From the way her father spoke to him, she probably couldn’t count on him for much help. Vance had more than likely wrapped him around his finger and was getting pointers on how to get on her good side. That thought made her move faster so she could get back downstairs.

After swiping a brush through her unruly curls, she descended the stairs to find the two men with their heads together. Not good. What were they cooking up? “Gentlemen?” She smiled when they jumped apart. Got them!

“You didn’t have to sneak up on us like that, missy,” Walter said with a guilty smile on his face.

“At my size, sneaking up on people is not an option anymore,” she countered. Summer took a seat in a nearby wing chair and tried to cross her legs at the knee, eventually giving up and simply crossing them at the ankle. “So, what were you two talking about?”

“Nothing,” they said in unison.

She narrowed her eyes at them and shook her head. “Whatever.”

Walter gave Vance a wink and began to roll himself out of the room. “My show’s about to come on,” he tossed over his shoulder. “Think I’ll go watch it in my room. Nice meeting you, Vance.”

“Same here,” Vance replied, his eyes on Summer. Once her father was out of the room, he turned to face her. “How are you feeling this morning?”

“Fine.”

“Just fine? I mean, no nausea?”

“I haven’t had morning sickness since the third month.”

“That’s good to know.”

Summer let out a loud breath and closed her eyes. “Vance, I thought we agreed last night to take things slowly.”

“No, you want to take things slowly. I don’t. Our child will be here in about three months. We have plans to make.”

“Plans?” She struggled to rise to her feet and stood before him, hands on her hips. “What kind of plans?”

“Well, first we need to come to an agreement regarding our relationship.”

“We,” she said pointing at his chest, “don’t have a relationship.”

“Well, I intend for us to have one. For our child’s sake at least.”

“I have no intention of keeping you away from this child,” Summer responded with a tremor in her voice.

“Summer, sit down, okay.” Vance rose and helped her back into her seat. “I didn’t come here this morning to upset you.”

“Could have fooled me.”

Vance swiped his hand down the side of his face, frustration clearly written there.
