Chapter Ten

Tyler

After a dinner filled with joking, laughter, and plenty of stuffing our faces with pizza, Noah led me and Jenna out into the living room to watch the movie he’d chosen, which turned out to not be rated PG-13, after all.

Noah plopped down in the middle of the leather sofa and patted the cushions on either side of him. I smiled at Jenna and we both took the seats my son had picked out for us.

I know the movie had penguins in it, but I honestly couldn’t have told someone anymore about it than that. I was too busy casting my gaze sideways and watching Jenna.

I couldn’t keep my eyes off the way her long, dark hair cascaded over her features when she leaned in to whisper something to Noah, or the curve of her lips when she smiled and laughed at some little joke between the two of them.

It was dark inside and out of the house, but there was enough of a glow from the TV to give me enticing peeks of our guest. I just hoped I wasn’t being too obvious with my admiring inspection.

Somewhere after the end of the first hour of the movie, I realized two things—Noah had fallen asleep with his head against Jenna’s shoulder, and I wanted her more than I had any other woman in a long time.

“He’s out like a light,” I whispered to Jenna, hoping the desire in my voice wasn’t too obvious. “I hate to miss what happens next with our waddling friends, but I’m going to carry him up to bed.”

Jenna nodded and gave me a smile that lit me up inside. I had to take a deep breath to steady myself before standing up and lifting Noah gently into my arms.

“I’m going to grab some more water,” she said softly. “And don’t worry, I’ll pause it, so you won’t miss anything.”

I grinned at Jenna and then carried my son up the stairs and got him tucked in for the night. He’d had a long day, but it had ended up being a good one, and I was happy to see him so content.

The living room was empty when I came back downstairs, but the light was on in the kitchen, so I followed the glow and found Jenna. She was sitting at one of the stools in front of the island, staring at a bottle of water that was clutched in her hands.

“You doing okay?”

She looked up and gave me a sad smile that just about broke my heart. I moved closer and took the stool next to hers. I wanted to wipe the sadness from her face any way that I could, but sometimes just listening was the best thing you could do.

“I was just thinking about how much I’ve loved spending time with Noah,” Jenna said softly. “And how much I’ve lost in my life by staying with Ray. I could have been a mother by now, but I would never want to bring a child into the world where I was living just a little while ago.
