“At the end of the day, you have to show someone that you care about them. Even if it’s hard, go out on that limb. Shout it from the rooftops.”

Jax Holden

Chapter Five

It had been extremely difficult for Jax to focus at work all day. His mind was filled with Callie and the plans he had in store for her this evening. He felt like doing a tap dance in the middle of his office. This was going to be the first real opportunity he’d had to woo the woman he adored. For the last hour he had been doodling on a piece of paper rather than doing actual work.

Jax loved working for Duvall Investments. It thrilled him to be working with stocks and bonds and to help people make their money grow. Jax felt grateful that despite his father’s financial scandal, Lionel had continued to employ him and entrusted him with vast amounts of money. Lionel Duvall had so many branches of his business that it made Jax’s head spin. He admired Lionel in so many ways, despite the fact that he was now discovering that his family life was anything but idyllic. Lying to Callie about her birth brother was abominable. He prayed that one day Callie might be able to forgive him.

It made his chest hurt to think of Callie having been ripped away from Mac. An image of a young Cassie flashed through his mind. With her wide, innocent eyes and beautiful features, she had been a very attractive child. How anyone could ever abuse a child was way beyond his understanding. It hurt his heart to know all the pain that Callie had endured before being adopted by the Duvalls. If he could he would take all that pain and heap it upon himself rather than allow Callie to suffer. That’s how much he adored this woman. He thought of the verse from Proverbs 3:15. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare to her.

That was it in a nutshell. No other woman compared to Callie Duvall. He feared no other woman ever could. Sometimes that knowledge scared him.

At seven o’clock sharp Jax arrived at the guest house to pick up Callie. He had phoned her earlier in the day to tell her to wear something appropriate for a nice dinner out on the town. When Callie opened up the door to him, he had to stop himself from letting out a hoot of approval.

Reminder. You are not a Neanderthal. You are a southern gentleman.

“You’ve never looked more stunning,” Jax said, unable to take his eyes off Callie.

“Thank you,” she murmured. “You look pretty dapper yourself.” He looked down at his navy jacket and grey slacks. He was glad that he’d picked this attire. He hadn’t wanted to look too overdressed. At the same time he had wanted Callie to see that he’d taken pains to look nice for her.

Callie wasn’t the sort of woman who would respond to something like a wolf whistle or a shout of appreciation.
