“HANNA!” NICK CAME BARRELING through the back door of the McHenry house late the next morning, shouting for her.

At the kitchen table, Colleen’s white head snapped up. “She’s upstairs, still sleeping. I believe you wore her out over the weekend.” The older woman laughed at his startled look. “What’s so urgent?”

“I’ve got some news about Lance. Mom is coming over shortly.” He was carrying a small tape recorder that he set down on the counter top and plugged in. “Snag Christine. I’ll be right back.” Not waiting for a response, he ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time.

Colleen shook her head. He might be a grown man, but some things never changed, she thought, remembering how many times he’d come into her house as a boy, shouting for Dylan or Hanna in just the same way, then bounding up the stairs after one or the other. And she had to laugh at that startled look he’d shot her when she had mentioned his weekend. Did he and her granddaughter think she was too old to guess what had happened between them? Hanna had been as radiant as she had been suntanned last night when she’d gotten home. It was about time, Colleen McHenry figured. Her beloved granddaughter had waited long enough for Nicholas Kelly!

Hanna wasn’t in bed when Nick rushed into her room, calling out her name. She was in the adjoining bathroom, in the bathtub, playing with her niece, soaking some of the stiffness and soreness from a body that wasn’t used to the some of the exercise it had done over the weekend.

“I’ll be right out,” she called out to the man on the other side of the bathroom door, who, a second later, burst through the closed door anyway.

“Nick!”

She and Katie were taking a bubble bath together while Christine did her laundry. The baby was cooing and laughing, in spite of Hanna’s shriek of surprise. When Nick invaded, she immediately clutched the infant close to her chest. “Nick,” she repeated, “for heaven’s sake, get out of here!”

He stared at her, holding the tiny girl. Her hair was steam curled and wet, her face radiant and flushed, and her bare breasts were peeking above the frothy bubbles in all their rosy pink roundness. Spellbound, he forgot what he’d come in for.

Damn! He’d held her naked in his arms just yesterday; seen all of her, had all of her. The sight of her in a bathtub full of bubbles, clutching a baby to her naked breasts shouldn’t have the power to disturb him so profoundly. But it did, and he realized, with a sudden jolt, that he wanted what he saw before him— her, a baby, a family.

He dropped into a squat beside the tub and curled his hand behind Hanna’s head to capture her mouth in a wet steamy kiss that expressed just how much he wanted her.

Katie issued a little cry of distress and slapped at his shirt with tiny wet hands. He released Hanna slowly, ruefully, and she handed him the wiggling baby.
