Chapter Eleven

Patrick steered Eve into the office after dinner was finished. “Why don’t you find a book or watch TV while I get a bit of work done?”

“I can get out of your hair. I don’t want to be a bother.”

He used the side of one finger to tilt her head back. “That will never happen, little girl. I like being able to look up and see you wherever we are.”

She trailed her fingers down his cheek and smiled. “Then, I’ll just look through the books.”

“Good,” Patrick said and pressed a hard kiss to her mouth.

He sat behind his desk and went through his correspondence. He glanced around for her and saw her studying his bookshelf as her hand tried to smooth down her hair.

“Why did your father cut your hair, baby?”

She swung around and then blushed. “He said I was playing with it and thought it was a sign of vanity, so after his sermon one day, he pulled me into his office and chopped it off. It hurt. The scissors he used were dull and not meant to cut hair. I think he was probably right. I loved my hair. It was the only thing about myself I did like, and now it’s gone.”

“Come here.”

She walked around his desk and let him pull her onto his lap.

“You could be bald and still be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

She shook her head.

“I know you don’t believe me, but I hope someday soon you will. I hate the fact he did that to you, but you will never have to put up with him again as long as you live.”

She tucked her head under his chin. “I hope not. He’s a hard, angry man.”

He combed his fingers through her silky blonde hair. “We can do something to even out your hair until it can grow out.”

“Really?”

He smiled. “Yes, I’ll get in touch with Darian and see if he knows of a place.”

“I’d like that. Thank you.”

He pressed a kiss to the top of her head and lifted her out of his lap. “Give me thirty minutes, and then we can watch another movie before bedtime.”

She nodded and turned back to the books.

He sent out an email and got the name of a day spa that would take care of his girl. Darian even promised to have Larkin and Brylee there so they could have a girl day.

Patrick and Darian messaged back and forth about how Eve and her mom took the news and what their next step would be after letting the two visit the next day.

He closed down his computer and stood. “Are you ready?”

Eve turned to him, nodded, and closed the book she’d been looking through before sliding it back on the shelf.

He led her into the TV room, and they picked a short movie about a dog trying to find his way home. A smile crossed his face when he heard Eve sniff a few times. He liked that she had a tender heart.

After a bit, he glanced at the clock.
