The small neighborhood park around the corner from their town house was a favorite with Lily and Ava. On Saturday morning, she held Ava on her lap while they sat in one of the swings, moving slowly back and forth while Ava giggled with delight. Afterward, they strolled over the expanse of lawn, Ava clutching Lily’s finger while she practiced walking, lurching along with frequent sudden falls onto her diaper-padded bottom. When she tired of the exercise, Lily fed her a picnic lunch sitting cross-legged on a light quilt spread on the thick grass. Ava fell asleep after eating. She lay sprawled on her back on the cotton quilt, her favorite blankie tucked over her with the soft pink ribbon edging clutched tightly in one hand.Lily sat on the quilt beside Ava, knees raised, her bare toes flexing in the cool grass at the edge of the cotton spread. She opened her book, a romance by her favorite author, Susan Wiggs, but instead of reading, she stared unseeingly at the far edge of the park.

What am I going to do about Justin?

He was being attentive, considerate, charming, and clearly adored Ava. So why was she so unsettled and worried about his sudden reappearance?

The answer was obvious, but it wasn’t one Lily wanted to acknowledge.

He still had the power to wreck her life, she thought. All he had to do was walk into a room and her inner radar shivered and cranked on high-alert. Her stupid hormones still went haywire every time he got close enough to let her breathe in that unique scent of subtle aftershave and pure male that was his alone.

The necessity of balancing his legal and moral right to see Ava with her own need to keep him as far away as possible was driving her crazy. She badly wanted to tell him to go away, but not only would it be a poor decision, as her attorney had assured her only yesterday, but Ava clearly adored him.

Ugh. She dropped her head into her hands and groaned silently. I should never have left the flower shop with him that night all those months ago.

But then you wouldn’t have Ava. The small voice spoke clearly and with indisputable logic.

Lily lifted her head and looked at her daughter. Ava was sound asleep, her long dark lashes delicate fans against smooth skin, her compact little body sprawled with the boneless ease of childhood slumber. A surge of love rocked Lily, calming the storm of emotions stirred by thoughts of Justin.

You’re worth it, Ava, she thought. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Calmer, she returned to her novel, this time totally absorbed in the pages.

“Hello.”

Lily looked up from her book. An older man in a white golf shirt, khaki pants and brown loafers had taken a seat on the nearby park bench. A blue Mariners baseball cap covered most of his black hair and his eyes were concealed behind dark sunglasses. He nodded, smiling in friendly greeting. She smiled back and he shook out his newspaper and began to read.
