Chapter Ten

One Week Later

A wolf whistle greeted Jamison as he stepped out of his car in front of Summerville Catholic Church on the evening of the christening, making him spin to find the source of the sound, half-hoping it was Maddie, though he knew it wouldn’t be. She still wanted to keep their relationship a secret until after the wedding—despite the fact that they had both fallen so hard it made an avalanche look tame by comparison.

But Jamison wasn’t worried that they were moving too fast.

He wasn’t worried about a damned thing. He was happier than he’d been in years. He finally understood why Jake had that goofy, half-wasted look on his face all the time. Love packed a punch like a fifth of Jack Daniels, except better—pure intoxication, without the hangover. It was Jamison’s new drug of choice, and he didn’t plan on getting on the wagon any time soon.

“Looking good, J,” Faith said with another whistle as she crossed the parking lot toward him, shaking her head as if she couldn’t quite believe her eyes. “What did you do to yourself?”

Jamison glanced down at his new suit a little self-consciously. “New suit? Shave?”

Faith narrowed her eyes. “No. It’s something more than that. You look different.”

Jamison shrugged. “Maybe you’re finally realizing how damned sexy I am.”

Faith snorted. “Gross. You’re like my brother. I’d rather kiss a goat.”

“I’d rather be kissed by a goat.” Jamison grinned as he slung an arm around Faith’s shoulders and gave her a good, hard hug. “How was work?”

“Good, but that weird guy called for you again and still wouldn’t leave his name. Did you ever figure out who he might be?”

Jamison shook his head. “Guess it could be one of Dad’s old buddies from the department. Sometimes they call looking for me or Jake.”

“Or maybe whatever hoochie you’re dating has an angry ex,” Faith said, making Jamison laugh at the thought of Maddie’s gay ex-husband suddenly developing a jealous streak.

“Not a chance,” he said. “And she’s not a hoochie.”

Faith perked up, blonde brows lifting. “Oh, yeah? Well who is she? When are we going to meet this mystery woman who makes your voice sound all smooshy?”

“Soon,” Jamison said vaguely, grinning despite himself. “Where’s your better half?”

“Mick’s already inside,” Faith said, falling in beside him as he started toward the front of the church. “He came early to help Naomi hang ribbons or something while Maddie closed up the bakery.”

Just the mention of Maddie’s name made Jamison’s chest warmer and his smile take up more real estate on his face.

“So what did you get them?” Faith asked, starting up the stairs leading to the massive wooden doors. “I got bedding to go with the crib Mick made, but now I’m worried that’s lame.”

Jamison pulled a face. “It’s not lame. Besides, Jake and Naomi don’t care about the gifts. They already have everything they ever wanted.”

Faith shot him a strange look.

“What?” he asked, holding the door open for her.

“Nothing, you just sound so happy for them.”

“I am happy for them.
