"Becca?"

She turned toward her father's voice. She was almost happy for the interruption. "Up here, Daddy."

He walked in wearing his golfing attire. Heck, he had his glove still hanging from his back pocket. "Dad, you remember Rich Ronaldi, Annabelle's brother." She accepted her father's awkward hug, pulled away as soon as she could, and took a step back. Her dad and Rich shook hands.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Larsen."

"Rich."

The look her dad gave Rich made Becca want to put an immediate stop to it. "I have to start moving my work to Brooklyn , and since Rich has a nice, big SUV, he's offered to help."

Nope, he didn't buy it either. What, did she have a sign on her forehead that said she made a mistake, let her hormones rule her head, and had sex with Rich Ronaldi, or had Mike called and ratted her out? No, he wouldn't dare.

Rich took one of the moving blankets off the stack she'd brought out earlier and folded it under his arm. "I guess I'll get started while you two visit." He picked up the largest piece and headed down with it.

"You didn't have to cut your game short."

"I didn't. I just chose to play nine holes instead of eighteen." Her father wandered around with his hands clasped behind his back. "You told me you were going to store some of your work up here. I just had no idea you'd done so much."

What did he think she'd been doing all these years? "These are only the small pieces. I have a few of the large ones in the old equipment barn. I needed to bring them in on a truck. I'm hoping to move them into the studio once it's built. Part of it will have a thirty-foot ceiling."

He nodded. "There is one piece that Colleen and I both love. It's the modern granite one you have stored in the barn. I'd like to buy it."

The shock must have shown on her face.

"If it's for sale, that is. Colleen says it belongs in the foyer."

Becca didn't know what to say. He'd never shown any interest in any of her work, much less mentioned that he liked it.

"I know how you feel about having your work displayed here."

"You do?"

He nodded, stuck his hands in his pockets, which he never did, and looked at his feet. "You never wanted it here, but it would mean so much to Colleen and me."

"Daddy, I never said I didn't want it displayed here. I just didn't want to push it on anyone. Mother always called my work dust collectors. I just assumed you felt the same."

He looked pained. "I'm sorry if I ever gave you that impression."

Becca shrugged. "If you like the granite piece, consider it a wedding gift. You are going to ask Colleen to marry you, aren't you?"

When he didn't answer, she laughed. "Maybe that'll be the incentive she needs."

Her father finally smiled a real smile. They were rare. He put his arm around her and gave her a sideways hug.
