Prologue

“Hey, you two look great.” Richard McCafferty propped his axe against the woodshed and strode away from the large stack of chopped firewood. He wiped away beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his heavy work glove.

Marcie shivered underneath her purple down vest, her fingers linked with the love of her life, Sam’s. She leaned against him, into him, and couldn’t erase the smile she’d swear was now etched permanently into her face. She couldn’t explain the joyful sense of lightness that filled every part of her. Maybe that’s why she needed to touch Sam, be with him, near him.

Richard gripped Sam’s hand the way good friends do. He winked at Marcie as if he could read her every secret. She dropped her eyes; after all, when had she ever been successful at keeping something from Richard?

“Your cast is gone, Marcie; you’re all tanned and healed. Those beaches down in Mexico look like they agreed with you. So when’d you guys get back?”

Sam wrapped his arm around Marcie’s shoulders and rested his chin on the crown of her head. “Last night. Rented a car in Seattle and drove around the peninsula. Thought we’d stop in. Check on you and Maggie before heading over to Marcie’s granny’s place.”

The screen door squeaked.

“Hey you two, didn’t know you were back.” Maggie dashed down the stairs yanking on a thick green sweater. She skidded around the pile of leaves, nearly tripping over a garden rake. She hugged Marcie and then kissed Sam on the cheek.

“You’ve got quite the glow happening there, Marcie.” Maggie shoved in between the couple. “The way you two are glued together, you’d think you’d not seen each other in like forever.”

Sam smiled broader and leaned against the black SUV he’d rented. His blue eyes, brighter than before they left for Mexico, watching Marcie in a way that let her know how much he loved her. His look would have told her even if he hadn’t said the words a few hours ago and every day since she’d told him the big news.

Maggie was eye-to-eye with Marcie. Toffee-colored eyes lit up as if she’d guessed what Marcie held onto.

“Should we tell them, Sam?” She was teasing, and Richard gave nothing away as he stared first at Sam and then her.

“Okay guys, what gives?” asked Richard.

Sam blurted out, “Marcie’s pregnant.”

Richard grinned and high-fived Sam. “Congrats, guys.”

Maggie squealed and hugged Marcie and then patted her still flat stomach. “So, how far along?” Maggie was almost bouncing with excitement as she tucked her shoulder-length, dark curly hair behind her ears. Her pale cheeks glowed a natural rosy pink from the chill in the late fall air.
