For as long as he could remember, he’d known that he could carry a tune. Heaven knew his mother and sister had told him so often enough.

One day his physics teacher heard him singing to himself at his locker and the next thing Nick knew, the guy was leaning in and nodding his head. “Try out for the school play.”

His head whipped up and he wondered how many ways could he politely say no chance in hell. He wound up playing Danny in Grease. It had taught him several things, mostly not to be embarrassed to sing in front of people because he really did have a better than average voice. Even knowing that, hearing Ginnie and her sisters say the same thing, made him want to strut like the proverbial peacock.

That Ginnie was willing to tag along to get the kids rather than stay and play with the adults had him ready to crow. Had he ever been this happy with a woman’s company? Had he ever spent this much time in less than twenty-four hours with one woman and not wanted to pull his hair out of his head by the roots or duck out the back door? Nope. Ginnie was definitely special.

His entire train of thought had him wondering, could this possibly be what the silly songs and sappy movies played up as love at first sight? Ridiculous.

“Care to share?” Strolling down the hall at his side, Ginnie glanced sideways at him. “You’re shaking your head. What’s up?”

Now he nodded instead of shaking his head. “Good plan. I like it.”

The urge to reach out and hold her hand had been startling. More than once he’d shoved his hands in his pockets and then found himself reaching for her before he caught himself and once again crammed his hands back into his pockets. Timing had been perfect. Just as they rounded the corner on deck to where the kids had been watching a movie under the stars, the credits began to roll.

“Perfect timing,” Ginnie glanced at him.

He smiled. “I was thinking the same thing.” As they grew closer to where he remembered the kids settling in, he realized that all four were sound asleep.

“I guess the movie wasn’t very good,” Ginnie chuckled softly.

“Here’s hoping they sleep through the night.”

“It’s been a long time since I was a little kid, but I’m going to guess, all this playing and hanging out in the sun is like a day at the beach, leaves you worn out and dead to the world.”

“Looks like it.” Nick leaned over the boys. “Time to go home.”

Ginnie walked over to the girls, tapping the eldest on the shoulder. The three
