After storing my dress at the apartment, Garret and I arrive in La Jolla, enter Carter’s driveway a few minutes later, and park inside the garage. “Daddy!” Garret runs and jumps in front of Carter by the stairs once we get inside. “Look, I found my car!”

Carter holds a slight smile as he gets on his level. “That’s great news.”

“Come to see the picture I made you.” Tugging at his hand, Garret asks, “Can we play?”

Carter’s mouth opens and closes then he glances at me. “Okay. Get a game ready in your playroom.”

Garret gasps. “Yay!” Then he runs, rushing up the stairs.

Pins and needles spread along my skin, seeing the growth between them. The effort to make a difference means so much to his little boy and me.

“Take the rest of the night off,” Carter says as he straightens to his full height.

I don’t object this time and nod. “There’s chicken soup in the crockpot if you’re hungry.”

His smile stirs the butterflies in my stomach. “Thank you. I had some, and it was the most flavorful chicken soup I’ve ever eaten.”

“Hm, well, my father will be pleased that my boss likes his recipe.”

“Is he a chef?”

“He is and has a restaurant back home.”

Carter grins, his dimples on full display as he tilts his head to the side, stepping closer. “Keep bringing all the recipes because I haven’t eaten this good. Ever.”

“What?” I say, straightening his loosened tie around his neck before smoothing my fingers down the satin-patterned fabric. “So, no more banana pancakes?”

He lets out a hearty chuckle. “Anything but that.”

His dark eyes fall heavy as he gazes into mine, and I can’t contain my smile as I drink in his playful mood, my pulse rising as he tips up my chin with a gentle touch, smoothing his thumb below my lip. Yet I stay only a second longer before stepping back and continuing upstairs to my room with our pull lingering.
