EMMA LED CLAYTON upstairs, trying not to react to his angry mumbling behind her. They made their way back to the nursery and stepped inside. The large room was painted a muted yellow, and the tall ceilings made the room feel larger than it was.
The nursery was in the middle of four smaller bedrooms and served as a playroom off of what Jamie and Sophie hoped would be their many childrenâs bedrooms.
Sarah sat in one of the rocking chairs next to a swinging bassinet, and her sister sat in the one by the window. Both ladies stood when the couple entered.
âYouâre fine,â Emma whispered, and waved them back down. âHowâs Junior?â
âOh, heâs perfect, Mrs. Madden,â Sarah said, still standing. âFinally asleep. Shall I take Master Henry?â
âI was going to feed him first, but yes, afterwards would be appreciated.â
âMrs. Ford has the west room set up for you. Shall I show you?â
âI know the way. But thank you.â
Emma headed through the closed door into the bedroom and handed Henry to Clayton so she could adjust the top of her dress to breastfeed. Once settled in the chair closest to the window, she reached for Henry and guided him to her breast. âStop glaring at me, Clayton. Speak your mind. Weâre alone.â
âI donât understand why you feel the need to be alone with Mr. Battaglia. Itâs not right.â
She squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath. âMark has been my best friend for a long time, Clay. I used to tell him everything. I was closer to him than I was even to Sophie, and you know how close I am to my sister. He was there for me during Sophieâs illness and then her disappearance. I wouldnât have made it through without him... and Hannah. I donât get why youâre overreacting, itâs not like we ever dated or anything. Heâs like a brother to me. Thatâs it.â
âA brother does not act the way he does.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
Clayton paced the room, his face pinched in irritation. âThat man is entirely too interested in placing his hands on you, and Iâm not comfortable with that. I donât âgetâ why you arenât understanding that. Not to mention the fact, heâs seen you naked.â
âClayton. One, Iâm usually the one who hugs him, and two, heâs never seen me naked.â
âClose enough.â
âA lot of people saw me in my dance clothes, baby, and just as many more probably saw me in a bikini.â
âWhatâs a bikini?â he asked in suspicion.
âItâs basically modern-day underwear, like what I wore on our wedding night, and after. But you wear it when you swim. At the beach, or a pool, or wherever.â
Horror covered his face. âYou wore those in public?â
âYes.â
Clayton swore loudly, startling Henry. Emma calmed the baby and shifted him to her other side. âClay, I donât know what to say to make you feel better.â
âI want you to promise never to be alone with Mark Battaglia.â
âEver?â
He nodded.
âAnd what constitutes âaloneâ?â
âI want you to have at least one other person with you.
