Jesse nodded with approval. He liked her answer—and he liked her honesty.

“So you want to have kids?” he asked next. “How many?”

Cozy shrugged. “At least three, but less than six. How about you?”

“I like kids too. But I agree that I’ll like my kids more than I’ll like other people’s kids.”

Jesse frowned a moment. Was he subconsciously fishing—trying to find out how Cozy Robbins felt about family for his own reasons? He’d already decided to pursue her—whether or not things worked out between his grandpa and her grandmother. But he didn’t want to freak her out and scare her off either. Still, she answered honestly—hadn’t seemed uncomfortable about the question.

“How many kids to you want?” she asked.

He smiled. “More than one, less than five,” he answered honestly.

She giggled and nodded her approval.

She looked so cute in her little red coat! Again he thought he was too much the wolf where his intentions toward her were concerned. But he couldn’t help it.

“My turn,” she said then. “Name the president of the United States that you think was the greatest.”

“Wow! Politics,” he chuckled. “Don’t be shy, now, Little Red. Get right to the serious stuff.”

“You asked about kids,” she reminded him. “That’s serious.”

“I guess,” he admitted. “Hmm. I can only choose one, right?”

“Right.”

“Okay…and I realize I’m being very brave here…taking a chance that you might gouge my eyes out if I answer wrong,” he began. He paused however.

“It’s an opinion question,” she giggled. “Not a life or death one.”

“Okay then…at the risk of sounding cliché, I really would have to go with Abraham Lincoln,” he said. “There. I’ve said it.” He looked to her to see her smiling as if she had some secret delight. “And you’re not running or gouging out my eyes.”

“Nope,” she said. “You just named my first choice too.”

“Really?”

“Yep.”

“Okay,” he sighed. “My turn.” He was pensive for a moment, trying to decide what he could ask her that would reveal something about her character he wanted to know. He already knew she was beautiful, kind, family-oriented, and smart. But there was more he wanted to know. In truth, he wanted to know everything about her. In truth, he hoped that someday he would.

“Your feelings on premarital…um…intimacy…are?”
