Chapter Eleven

At eight in the morning Caitlin should still be asleep, especially after their late night outing. Too many weeks living on a farm had messed with her sleeping habits. Now, she was awake early even when she didn’t have to be. Pulling the pillow over her head to block out the sun streaming through the window didn’t do any good. The doorbell ringing over and over meant there was no going back to sleep, not that she’d expected to anyway. Justin was so exhausted he was sleeping through the noise.

Caitlin quickly dressed in jeans and a tank top before heading down to answer the door.

The woman on the front porch studied her with a critical eye, taking in every detail from Caitlin’s bare feet to her messy hair.

This woman was striking in a way that made Caitlin wish she’d at least brushed her hair. Silky sable hair fell in waves down her back, resting at her curvy hips. Her face was like a statue of some goddess with high cheekbones, skin as smooth as porcelain and full rosy lips. Thick lashes framed her pale green eyes.

“I’m here to see Jeremiah,” the woman said but quickly corrected herself. “I mean Justin.”

That got Caitlin’s hackles up. “Justin’s still asleep,” she said with a hand on her hip. Hell, no! Justin was not going to entertain some little tramp.

The woman gave her a disapproving frown which melted away into a bright smile. “You must be Caitlin!” she said and pulled Caitlin into a hug. “Isaiah’s told me all about you. Don’t be upset that Jeremiah didn’t say anything to me. My son was probably afraid I’d come out here and meddle. I’ve been dying to meet you!”

Caitlin felt a little dazed by the woman’s exuberant hug.

“I’m Helena, but you can call me Mom.”

“Um,” Caitlin said as she tried to extricate herself from the hug.

“Let her go, Mom,” Justin said from the stairs. “Caitlin isn’t much of a hugger.”

Helena released her, and Caitlin turned to watch Justin come down the stairs in nothing but a pair of black sweat pants. Even while being overwhelmed by his mother, she could appreciate the view.

“Why are you here?” he asked. If not for the smile playing on his lips, the question might have sounded rude. For the most part, he seemed happy to see his mother.

“As soon as I got your message I took the first available flight,” she said and then grabbed Caitlin’s arms to hold them out a little. “You aren’t showing at all! I assumed you’d have at least a little bulge at this point.” Then she hugged Caitlin again. “I’m so excited! While I know things are different now, you should marry right away. Tahoe isn’t far, and it’s lovely there. We can all drive there today, and you can get married in one of those chapels. Then you can rent a cabin and enjoy the lake for a few days. Of course, if your heart’s set on a big wedding you can have one later.
