Chapter 8

Beckett

“Can I play, too?” I hear over my shoulder and I turn to see her standing in the door way. Fuck. If I thought she was pretty before, there’s something about her standing there with not one ounce of makeup and her hair fresh from the shower.

“Of course, Mommy, but we’ve got to finish this round,” Lettie says, sliding over and giving her room to take a seat.

“Okay, well, while you finish up I’m going to start some laundry if that’s okay, Beckett?”

“Sure. Everything you need is in the laundry room. Let me know if you need anything.”

“It’s laundry. I believe I can handle it.” Turning, I walk through to the room we slept in and pull the sheets and walk through kitchen to the room off the back of the house. Turning on the water, I pour the detergent and place them inside.

Closing the lid, it’s like I’m taken back to last night and my lungs begin to expand quickly as visions of flames fill my mind. I have no clue how long I’ve stood there when I feel a hand on my shoulder, causing me to jump out of my skin.

“Dallas, it’s okay,” his voice says and I instantly feel calm. Looking toward him, I don’t want to feel this way. I want to be the confident person I’ve always been. Instead of moving toward me, he takes a step backward, “We’re ready when you are.”

Nodding, I turn and walk toward the living room. Lettie is smiling from ear to ear when I take a seat. She passes me the cards and tells me to shuffle them and for Beckett to deal. Within a few moments, we are all laughing and have a great time, and when the game ends, Beckett’s the one with cards and of course, Lettie has the most sets.

As Lettie begs us to play again, the door opens and Dixie comes in with bags of clothing. Jumping up, I go to help her.

“Girl, I didn’t mean go on a shopping spree. I meant to just grab a few items until I can go to the store.”

“Eh. I started and couldn’t quit. They have the cutest stuff for Lettie, and I got you a few things as well.”

“Well, I’m glad. If not, we’d have to keep sharing a wardrobe.” She begins to laugh and I do as well. For the first time since last night, I feel happy.

“Come on, I’ll show you,” she says as she walks into the living room and pours it onto the couch. Beckett looks up and his mouth falls open.

“I’m going to go check on the laundry.”

Dallas

We both giggle as he makes it out of the room. I’m sure he’s on estrogen overload. Lettie stands and comes to see what Dixie has and of course, she’s done an amazing job. “Mommy, can I wear this today?” she says, holding up a pair of pink shorts with a matching top.

“Sure.” She hurries to the room to change and I begin to fold everything to take to the guest room.
