Chapter Twelve

Somebody pinch me. No, scratch that. Madi would need more of a slap to wake up from this dream.

She stood by the kitchen island of the guest house watching Becka circle the ottoman, opening and closing each storage compartment. She seemed to find the furniture itself as amusing as the toys within it. Her hair was still mussed from sleep and somehow she had one arm out of her pajama top. Sipping her coffee, Madi took a seat on the couch.

“Becka, you want any more breakfast?”

“Outside?”

Madi stifled a groan. “We’ll go outside in a few minutes. Let me finish this cup of coffee.”

As much as she loved being outside, that was all Becka wanted to do since they moved in two days before. Especially with the new playground equipment that Beckett had gotten installed between the time she last saw the guest house and when they moved in.

Becka padded on bare feet into her room and came back, dragging a toy basket. While she was occupied, Madi propped her Bible up on her knees. Beckett had been so thoughtful in creating a space perfect for a devotional time in her room, but unless she woke up before Becka, she ended up out in the main part of the house. It had been one of the incredibly thoughtful touches around the guest house. Most of them were for Becka: the playground outside, the clothes already in the closet, the toys. Some of it probably came from the designer, but she could tell by how he talked and the way he watched her reactions that he had a heavy hand in it.

What surprised Madi were the special things he had done for her. Like the new Bible and journal, stocking the DVD collection up in the media room with romantic comedies she loved, and the gourmet coffeemaker. Even though he had only been in her house once, he had paid attention and picked up on small details. It made Madi feel special. Treasured, even.

She didn’t want to read too much into these things. Well, she did, but was trying to keep some semblance of control over her feelings for Beckett. It was probably a lost cause. Whether it was seeing the way he interacted with Becka or the grand gesture of inviting them to live rent-free in the guest house or the brief touches he gave, Beckett had been winning her heart. Though she didn’t want to be presumptuous in thinking he might share her feelings, he seemed to drop hints or have double meaning with some of the things he said. Could he really feel that way toward her? The thought seemed impossible.

It wasn’t that Madi thought too little of herself, but more that she thought so much of Beckett. He was a little older and ran a billion-dollar company. He exuded power and confidence and was unquestionably handsome. Madi couldn’t help thinking that someone like Calista would fit better in his life and look better on his arm.

Her stomach clenched at the thought of her sister.
