And forgive us our sins—for we have forgiven those who sinned against us…

—Luke 11:4

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

“It’s so good to be home,” Garrett said, standing in the doorway of his bedroom. He and Mya had just put their sons to bed. Both Daniel and David had been overly anxious to tell their parents about all the fun they’d had while spending time at their grandparents’ home.

“Does that mean you didn’t enjoy the time we spent away together?” Mya asked smiling as she got into bed.

Garrett chuckled as he walked across the room, removed his robe and slid into bed beside her and pulling her into his arms. “No, that means I’m glad to be able to walk on steady legs for a change. And I did miss the boys, and Dallas has never looked better to me.”

“Yeah, I know what you mean.” Although both of them had spent most of their childhood on the east coast, they had fallen in love with Texas. The two-story house they had built the year before the twins had been born was in the same upscale neighborhood where a number of other players lived. On occasion Garrett talked about moving farther out and buying a ranch with acres and acres of land and raising cattle when he retired from football.

“I think our time together on the cruise was special, don’t you?”

Mya thought about the time they had spent together. “Yes, it was special.”

She then thought of what Maxi had shared with them at breakfast on their last day on the cruise. Christopher had left the ship already so they hadn’t had a chance to talk to him to say their good-byes. “What do you think of Christopher’s offer to father Maxi’s child?”

Garrett shook his head. “Hell, I’m surprised. While on the ship, there was a moment when Christopher and I were hanging out together that I pulled out the boys’ photo and showed it to him. He mentioned then that because of his less than desirable childhood, he had no intentions of ever fathering a child. So for him to offer himself to Maxi like that comes as a shocker. Volunteering for stud service isn’t something a brother normally does.”

“So what do you think it means?”

“It means he’s either stone crazy or he really cares a lot for her.”

Mya nodded. “That’s the same thing I’ve been thinking. What kind of information did you find out about him?”

“Mya, I didn’t go snooping around in Chandler’s business. Besides, he told us that he works for a construction company.”

“Yeah, but did you take a good look at his watch? How many construction workers you know wear expensive watches like that?”

Garrett agreed but decided not to add fuel to the fire by telling Mya that. “Well, whatever Maxi decides to do is her business. I just hope she thinks things through. There are too many issues involved like child support and custody rights and there will always be a bond between her and Christopher because of the child.”

“And that’s
