Lori eyed Charlie and her spirits lifted at the sight of him. He looked rugged and macho with his unshaven face, blue T-shirt, and loose-fitting blue jeans even though they were covered with white Sheetrock dust. As if reading her mind, he dusted off his shirt and pants unaware of the smile they both received from Tom Cantrell.

Lori pulled out two large grocery bags along with her purse and Charlie walked over to help her.

“I’ll talk to you soon, Charlie. I have to get going. Good seeing you, Lori.” Tom got back into his truck.

“Let me help you with those.” Charlie took one of the bags from Lori.

“Thank you. You guys are Sheetrocking the bedroom already?” she asked as he followed her to the house porch steps.

“Yeah, it’s pretty dusty up there. What are you up to?” he asked her as he placed the grocery bag down on the porch floor. Diana Shay came to the door to retrieve the bags, saying hello to Charlie then walking back inside.

“I had to go to the store, I saw your brother Andrew in town. He’s a really great guy.”

“He’s married you know?” Charlie said, joking around as he took Lori’s hand.

“I know that, Charlie, I just meant that nice guys run in your family.”

“That’s safe to say.”

“How about Jasper, is your cousin like you and your brothers?”

“Jasper’s a good guy, why do you ask?”

“He’s going on a date with Maggie tonight.”

“Really, he didn’t mention that? You sound concerned, baby.”

She loved the way he called her baby. She smiled as he took a step closer to her.

“He’s a good man. Your sister will be safe on a date with him. Speaking of dates, how about the four of us go on another one? If it’s not too short of a notice, how about tonight?” he asked as he gently tugged on her ponytail. She giggled at the gesture and he smiled.

“I kind of said I would keep an eye on Ben with my parents.”

“We could go for ice cream after dinner and take Ben with us.”

“That sounds good, Charlie, then you can drop him back off to me and the four of you could go out alone,” Diana said as she stood by the porch door. Both Charlie and Lori hadn’t even heard her approach. They were so caught up in each other.

“Well there’s your answer.” Lori looked at him then back toward the empty porch doorway where her mother stood only moments ago. Now she was gone.

“I’ll call you later.” He kissed her on the cheek and went back toward the barn.
