CHAPTER SIXTEEN

“WE NEVER had pets growing up. I’d have turned out differently, I think.”

Myah shrugged as an afterthought to her comment, and meandered to a picnic table to absorb the serenity brought on by the small park. They’d crossed the street from the retro ice cream parlor so Dylan and Jolie could have their uninhibited fun. He gave that pup a run for her money in the energy department. Who could have known he’d behave like a normal toddler when with a canine?

Myah sat on the table’s bench and laughed at the scene. “Jolie’s good with kids.”

Keir slung a leg over the seat, dropped his keys and Jolie’s leash, then spooned his vanilla ice cream. “She’s had one around her every day of her life. She’s used to them. Plus, that breed’s known to be kid-friendly.”

Since they had plans for the next day, they hadn’t spend much time at Keir’s. They’d climbed into their respective vehicles and made their way to the popular, crowded shop. She glanced at the line up across the street as Keir rested his head in his palm and scratched at the worn tabletop with his other hand.

“Tell me about Myah.”

“Like?”

“Anything. Yesterday we covered favorite colors and pastimes. Work—”

“Music.”

“Music—you know I’m right, by the way. Brother and sister count. But what was it like growing up for you?”

“Where to begin.” Myah slid one leg through the bench to copy his pose. She stalled with a groaned exhale before he gave her a “nice try” look. “I’m a preacher’s kid.”

At his “so sorry for you” leer, she smiled back ruefully.

“Yeah. Live with that. Ingrid is eight years older. She followed her husband out here for his job, and went into nursing. I moved here for college, only did two years in introductory business before I started at DRU-Med in the call center. I became an account reconciler three years later. I’d say another five before I look for something else.

“Anyway, when I got pregnant, Ingrid took care of me. Mother, sister, nurse, friend, you name it. I hated to tell my parents.” Dad hadn’t wanted anyone to know. She only hoped his request to see his youngest grandchild meant he’d outgrown his shame.

Myah met Keir’s eyes. She knew he heard more in her silence than her speech.

“That bad?” he asked.

“They were pretty angry. They didn’t go through the rage-to-acceptance phase. Nothing. Never offered a place to stay while I tried to work out my life. In fact they told me not to come home.”

She couldn’t look at Keir. Maybe she just told him that if her own parents couldn’t love her, and Dylan’s father couldn’t love her, then he’d made the wrong choice by being here. At least she had a heavenly father who didn’t write her or her spiritual life off.

Myah studied her clear polished nails, then stared out to the most wonderful thing, yet greatest hardship in her life. Dylan flung himself on the earth, a squeal of delight carried across the entire park as Jolie prodded him to get up.
