Gabe had spent a lot of years being called an angel, but he’d known it wasn’t true. He was just as prone to anger as the next man, but he’d worked hard to still those urges when the time hadn’t been right.

If he was going to get himself a label, he wanted it to be patient.

Then Allison wandered around the corner of the barn, her bright eyes glancing up to meet his, and he knew the right word was blessed.

He hadn’t deserved her. Hadn’t deserved any of the good things that had come over the past years, but he would take them whether they were his by rights or not.

Allison slipped in next to him, curling under his arm as he pressed a kiss to her temple. “This is a nice surprise.”

“I’m only here for a minute.” She pulled the baby monitor out of her pocket and shook it in the air. “We have a miracle happening. They’re both down for a nap at the same time.”

“Why are you wasting it on me?” he demanded. “Go sleep.”

She squeezed him quickly then held out his phone “You forgot this in the house at lunch. I was trying to message you.”

Well, damn. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s April. We’re all a little sleep-deprived,” she said with a laugh. “I couldn’t figure out why the coffee table was vibrating.”

He slipped the phone in his pocket. “Do I need to read the text?”

She shook her head. “Just remind Rafe he’s having supper with us. Laurel and Dana have something at the church tonight, so I figured he may as well stay and help eat stale leftovers.”

Which was a bunch of nonsense. Allison’s family might use a talented chef at their local restaurant, but she had her own recipes that knocked his socks off. Plus, she liked cooking, so it was a good thing he had plenty of hard physical labour to keep him in shape. “Will do.”

She went to give him a quick kiss, but Gabe wasn’t having any of that. He caught her tight and lingered over the connection. The sweet, giving way she lifted up on her toes and enthusiastically gave back set his heart pounding and pushed away the cold.

He enjoyed the moment, and the next as she stepped away, his gaze pinned to her swaying hips. Even somewhat hidden under the layers, he couldn’t keep his eyes off.

One contented sigh later, he headed back to work and the strange tangle of discomfort he needed to deal with.

Discomfort caused by working alongside his uncle.

Gabe couldn’t fault Blake for the scheduling—he’d tried his own hand at it once and knew it was complicated as all get out to keep everyone lined up and working efficiently.

But it sure seemed as if Uncle Mark had been on Angel land a lot over the past couple weeks.

First, though, Gabe got a hold of Rafe on the phone, trying to push away the uneasy edge poking at him. “What time do you think you’ll be done?”

A nicker of a complaint rang in the background before Rafe answered.
