Clint kept one eye on Thomas and the other on his phone, tracking where Leila was. He’d made her download the “find my phone” app so he could see where she was as a precaution and to give him some peace of mind when she was without him. He still didn’t like that she’d insisted on going to the grocery store by herself, claiming she needed some space and time to think. But he understood why she needed it. After the tension, sexual and otherwise, between them the night before, he didn’t blame her.

He had been acting like an ass. It was just that he felt torn and twisted and totally in lust with her with no idea how to handle it. Sure, he was no blushing virgin. That ship had sailed a long time ago. But he’d never been with a woman who appealed to him on as many levels as Leila did. He was frustrated, in more ways than one, and he’d lashed out at her.

Stupid move.

She was guarded, yes. But she was also smart and funny and kind and giving and she had good reason to keep her heart protected. And then there was Thomas. The kid was adorable beyond measure. Clint had always imagined he’d stay a loner for the rest of his days, never considering the possibility he’d ever want a family of his own. After what had happened with his own parents and upbringing, he’d figured it was for the best he stayed alone. But being around Leila and Thomas had him rethinking those long-held beliefs.

Maybe she was right. Maybe it was time for him to live a little. When she got home, he was going to apologize to her. He checked the app again and saw she was still at the store. He focused his attention on Thomas, who’d been happily playing, but was now looking sleepy. He was already in his pajamas. Maybe it was bedtime? If he got Thomas settled for the night, he’d be able to have the conversation he needed to with Leila as soon as she got home.

“Do you love that toy, buddy?” Clint asked as he picked up the boy. Thomas was clutching the stuffed bunny and rubbing it against his cheek. “It was my favorite too. You’ve got good taste. You can keep the bunny with you, but it’s nighty-night time.”

He took the boy into Leila’s room and settled him in the crib. Thomas immediately sprawled out on his back and closed his eyes.

“See you in the morning, little guy,” Clint said after watching for a minute to make sure he was asleep. He quietly crept from the room, leaving the door ajar.

He’d just returned to the living room when the front door opened and Leila walked in, looking upset. His heart dropped to his toes as he rushed over to take the heavy bags from her arms. “What’s wrong? What’s happened?”

She shook her head, looking out the door to scan the area before shutting it and locking it behind her.
