Gabe would never pretend to understand women, but even he wasn’t ignorant enough to miss the signs that something was up with Kenzie. She seemed to be growing chillier by the moment, except when they were hot between the sheets.

What the hell was going on?

He couldn’t crack her code, but her face paled when he suggested they shower together before work. And then she insisted on driving her own car to the print shop, even though she didn’t have to work at that other godforsaken place after they closed up shop and they could have shared the ride.

It had to be that place.

Working two jobs was too much for her.

He stopped on the way to work to pick up a coffee for him and a mint hot chocolate for her, and when he handed it to her, he mentioned his theory.

She didn’t have to bite his damn head off. Why the hell wouldn’t she be happy about him telling her she didn’t need to work that other job? That he’d take care of her financially? What the hell was wrong with that?

“You own half the business—I’m not being a chauvinist, Kenz. Jesus. It’s not like I said you should stay home barefoot and pregnant!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he cursed.

“Kenzie, I didn’t…”

She looked over his shoulder and plastered a smile on her face, though her cheeks were blazing red.

“Look—we have a customer.”

The customer in question struggled to get through the door with a baby on one hip, a folder of papers in one hand while she haphazardly steered the stroller with the other.

The papers nearly plunged to the floor, but Gabe caught them before the entire folder slipped out of her fingers.

Kenzie was right behind, and the grateful woman practically threw the baby at Kenzie. “I’m sorry. She refused to sit in her stroller.”

“How can we help you?” Gabe asked, keeping his tone measured even though he wished the woman hadn’t come in. He couldn’t leave the conversation dangling on a thread like that.

The woman started rattling off a list of things she needed printed for a fundraiser, but he was having a hard time paying attention. His focus kept being stolen by Kenzie and the adorable way she played with the baby, who laughed up a storm every time Kenzie made a silly face and said, “Boo!”

If anyone on the planet was made to have babies, it was his wife. And yet…

He had sworn he wouldn’t think about shit like that anymore. Thinking that way only led to emotions, and he knew emotions were bad. Emotions hurt. Emotions broke marriages.

The baby reached out and touched Kenzie’s cheek, chanting, “Mama, Mama, Mama,” before grabbing Kenzie’s hair. He found the whole thing adorable until he noticed the sadness in Kenzie’s bright eyes.

He hurried through the order so the woman would leave. She kept fumbling through her phone looking for a list of things she had forgotten, and Kenzie’s look grew sadder the longer she smiled at the baby.
