At breakfast, Liam made his move. “I need to head to Bravo Trucking today for a couple of hours. Ben, would you like to ride along with me?”

Ben looked up from his scrambled eggs. His eyes were wary. “What for?”

“Thought you might get a kick out of a tour of the place.” He sent a quick smile in Karin’s direction, but didn’t let his gaze linger. She looked way too damn pretty in a flannel shirt with her hair escaping every which way from the messy bun she’d put it in. “I already cleared it with your mom.”

Karin confirmed that. “Fine with me if you want to go.”

“Could be fun.” Liam kept his tone offhand. “Check out a diesel engine, maybe go for a ride in a semitruck.”

Those serious brown eyes flashed with interest, but Ben played it cool. “Okay, I’ll go.”

“Good. We’ll leave in an hour or so, maybe grab a burger on the way back?”

“Sure. I’ll be ready.”

Coco had somehow managed to restrain herself till then. But she was not the kind of girl to let a good time pass her by. “’Scuse me, Liam? I like trucks. Can I please go with you guys?”

“Not today, honey.” Karin eased in gracefully with her interference play. “I really need your help with the Christmas cookies.”

“But what about Ben? He always helps, too. We should all help because helping is good.”

“I kind of want to see that engine,” Ben ruefully confessed.

Karin suggested, “I’m also going to need help next weekend with the fudge and divinity and candy cane bark.”

Liam trotted out his perfect solution. “How ’bout this? Ben and I will go this week. Coco, I’ll take you with me next week. You can each see the trucks and help your mom with the candy and cookies, too.”

“All right!” Coco agreed, beaming. “I like making cookies and I like trucks, too!”

The baby monitor on the counter came to life with a questioning cry. The table quieted. They all knew the drill by then—it was always possible that RG would fuss for a minute and then go back to sleep.

Not this time, though. His cries grew more insistent.

Liam glanced at Karin, who was already looking at him. “Please do,” she said with a grin and a wave of her hand.

He pushed back his chair and headed for the baby’s room.
