Chapter Eighteen

LIAM

“Good morning, gorgeous.” I lick my lips as I pull her in for a quick embrace, knowing full well that I can’t kiss her or hold her like I’d love to be doing. “Fancy meeting you here.”

“Uh-huh, I know I didn’t tell you the location where we were going today so…” she looks between Joel, Lance and myself, raising her eyebrow as she takes a sip of her drink.

“So, I did a thing while you were distracted making coffee,” Joel grins at her. “We wanted to get to know Liam here, so I swiped his number from your phone. Plus in case of emergency when you are with him, it was practical for me to have his information.”

“The man makes a good point,” I tease.

“Well, fuck me, I’m kind of glad you did this.” She hugs me again. Brady gasps, clapping his hand over his mouth.

“Momma! Jar!” He cries out causing everyone to laugh.

The 5 of us walk towards a tractor, pulling a large wagon with bales of hay acting as benches to take us to a pumpkin patch. I try to casually steal glances at Kayleigh, who is dressed in dark jeans, a light grey flannel, and pink Timberland boots. Her hair is in a tight braid with a knit cap covering the top of her head and ears. She looks adorable, and is so in her element with Brady. I take comfort in the fact that she leans into me during the ride.

“Excuse me, Liam?” Brady chirps.

“Yea, Bud?” I respond, feeling Kayleigh stiffen in anticipation of what’s about to come out of her son’s mouth.

“Do you like my Momma?” His little mouth twitches, trying to fight a smile.

“Well, yes I do. Is that OK?” I ask him, genuinely concerned that my heart is going to be shattered by this adorable little boy.

“Yes. I think so. She smiles around you a lot, I like that.” Lance and Joel share a knowing grin. Meanwhile, Kayleigh lets out the breath she was holding and melts back into my side. I guess it’s going to be a damn good day.

I expected that Brady would be more reserved around me. Instead, he grabbed a hold of me and didn’t let me go the entire time we were in the pumpkin patch. I ended up carrying 3 medium sized pumpkins myself on top of what the others were carrying. The kid was full of energy, it was a riot watching him find the perfect pumpkin time and time again. Kayleigh is constantly on his tail keeping up with him like it is nothing. Joel and Lance make it so easy and welcoming too. Conversation never faltered.

After an hour going through the pumpkin patch, we got back onto the wagon with a total of 10 pumpkins in tow, the entire wagon was basically filled with just us and our pumpkins, no other guests could get on for our ride back.

“So, what are you going to do with all of these pumpkins, Brady?” I ask,
