“I’M TELLING YOU, Wyatt, this is a good deal.” Wyatt’s agent let his impatience show. “If you sign now, when you see Jess Watanabe on Saturday, the two of you will be able to toast to the project.”

“And I’m telling you it’s not the deal I want.” Wyatt wasn’t agreeing with his agent’s opinions or his attitude. It was late morning. His egg-cup breakfast was fast becoming but a memory. And Wyatt was getting hungry for more than food. He hadn’t seen or heard Ashley since breakfast.

Brandon fretted. “If we press them any more, Wyatt, they’ll find someone else to play Captain Doohoon.” In that sci-fi thriller film with an option for two additional installments.

Wyatt didn’t think twice about defending his position. “I’ve got another Ian Bradford film coming out at the end of summer. You and I both know it’s going to break box-office records.”

“You and I both know there is no guarantee of anything anymore.” Brandon had taken his difficult pill today. All he wanted to do was argue. “Great job at trending on social media, though. Make sure to forward any more pictures you have. You and Ashley Monroe look like you’re getting along.”

Wyatt brought the conversation back around to money. “Listen, Brandon, if we don’t press for a record-breaking deal now, we’ll miss our window.” And someone else would command a price higher than Wyatt. “I need this deal. Now.” Preferably before Jess Watanabe showed up for Laurel’s wedding on Saturday.

“Have you been spending money I don’t know about?” Brandon demanded.

“No.” Wyatt wasn’t ready to tell Brandon that the public relations fire they’d worked so hard to put out could potentially spark to life again. He was circling the idea of fatherhood at his own pace, thank you very much. Just like he seemed to be circling something more than being a convenient wedding date for Ashley. “Just counter.”

“I’ll counter if you agree this is the last time.”

“Last time.” Wyatt disconnected the call and stared out his window, knowing Brandon considered him greedy. But Wyatt wanted that contract signed before bad press gave the producer something to negotiate with. He couldn’t predict how bankable he’d be if word of Laurel’s pregnancy got out again.

Like babies should ever be bad press.

His father would get a good chuckle if he ever heard Wyatt say that out loud. But his father was old-school. He’d never told Wyatt he loved him. Never said he was proud of his accomplishments. Never really thanked him for buying him a house and paying for its upkeep.

And yet Wyatt knew he’d do anything to hear those words from his father, even if it meant putting off making a decision about Laurel’s children. Would he ever have a chance to say he loved those girls? Would they want his love if they knew he was hesitant to take an active role in their lives?

Someone knocked on the door.

It was Mitch. The inn’s manager glanced around, taking in the bed Wyatt slept on pushed to one side and Jeremy’s mattress and box spring leaning against a wall.
