Even if Winnie wanted to talk earlier in the day, she couldn’t since the ladies were so busy. Josh lost track of how many times he’d thanked the Lord for that other poor caterer’s unfortunate circumstances. Although he’d told Winnie he’d stay away, it seemed the Lord had His own agenda. He’d made himself as indispensable and helpful as possible, going with Sam to the wholesale grocery and otherwise staying out of the kitchen. It thrilled him beyond measure when he learned Chloe was in the house.

Together with Sam, he spent a majority of the day taking the two kids to the park, then to lunch, and finally for ice cream at Richardson’s where Bea treated him like royalty—especially when she saw him with Chloe. Joe slept through most of it, but Josh took mental notes by watching Sam, asking lots of questions. True to form, Sam answered them all and he caught his smile more than once. The first time Chloe slipped her hand into his, he thought his heart would burst. He couldn’t remember anything in his life giving him such a sense of pride. Not the college degree, not the law degree, not his most successful merger or acquisition. By the time they returned to the house midafternoon—mentally and emotionally exhausted—he was ready to take a nap with them until Sam told him it was time to get ready to help the ladies since they’d been drafted into service again.

“You don’t mind, do you?” Sam asked.

“Don’t even need to ask. This day just keeps getting better.” Josh finished buttoning his shirt and darted a glance at his friend, mirror images of one another. He tugged on the waistband of the slacks. “Something about wearing your pants suddenly makes me feel much more powerful, Mr. Lewis.”

Sam shot him the kind of wry grin he’d missed the last few years. “Try not to drag them in the mud, will you?”

He laughed. “I’ll try my best. How does the bowtie look? Is it straight?”

“I’m not touching it.” Sam raised both hands in the air. “Go ask Winnie. Nothing like a woman with her hands around your neck to get the sparks going.”

Don’t I know it. That was the very image he hadn’t been able to shake when he tried to sleep the night before. “It really doesn’t take much for you, does it? I hope you and the Mrs. will be able to control yourselves tonight.”

“You’ll see what I mean,” Sam told him with a wink. “Take my advice and go see Winnie.”

“I accept that challenge.” The worst that could happen was she’d say no and avoid him all night.

Sam clamped a hand on his shoulder. “Let me know how it works out. But first,” he said, retrieving a vest and handing it to him, “the last piece of the official waiter wardrobe.”

“Aw, man,” Josh said. “Why do we have to dress like penguins?”

“Trust me on this one, too,” Sam said. “The vest works its own unique charm. Women like to see their men dressed up.
