“Now that we’ve gotten your car, purchased more fruits and vegetables than any one person needs, and have had dinner, can you tell me why you look like you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders?”

I looked up from the applesauce I was currently making at the stove and brought my eyes to Trent’s. Try as I might, I failed at hiding just how frustrated I was with what went down when I dropped Tate off. It was only a few days ago when I went to his office and brought all this drama on him. I really didn’t want it to become our lives, especially not when I had him to myself this weekend.

Shaking my head, I answered, “It’s nothing more than it was a few days ago. I dropped Tate off and thought I could reason with Keith.”

“How so?” Trent asked.

“I simply asked him why he was doing this. When he explained he wanted more time with Tate, I told him I was amenable to working out an arrangement that worked for him, Tate, and me that would allow him to have more time with his son. Obviously, I don’t want to be away from Tate any more than I already am, but if I put myself in Keith’s shoes, I’d be feeling pretty lousy.”

Trent nodded, showing he was following along.

“Keith indicated he was not open to just working out a simple agreement between us. He wants to fight me to have Tate living in his home and all but suggested that if I don’t want to be away from my son that I need to be living there, too.”

Trent looked just as frustrated as I felt.

“Anyway,” I went on. “It’s nothing new. My attorney already told me that this is what Keith was pushing for. I just thought if I spoke with him directly, I might be able to convince him otherwise. I set myself up for this heartache tonight when I knew it wouldn’t get me anywhere.”

Walking around the counter to where I was standing, Trent slid his hand into my hair and tipped my head back.

“Why didn’t you talk to me about this when you first got to the office?”

I shrugged. “I don’t want all of our time being spent talking about this. I want to enjoy my time with you, particularly now when we have time to ourselves.”

“Two problems with that, sweet cheeks,” he started. “First, you’re preparing food for Tate right now so it’s done early and we can have the rest of the weekend to work up at the house together. Second, you aren’t exactly enjoying yourself right now because this is on your mind. You need to get out whatever is on your mind so we can work through it and move on.”

He had a valid point.

“I guess you’re right.”

“He’s not going to take your baby from you, Delaney. I won’t let that happen,” Trent promised.

I buried my face in his chest and admitted, “I know. I told Keith I wouldn’t back down no matter what he tried to do.
