Oh no, no WiFi! That is seriously a nightmare scenario in my book. There's no rush, just thought I'd check in. 🙂

She will - she's been housesitting with no WiFi. She'll be back soon!!

Hi Tiffany. I hope you'll still have a chance to do the scene edits. If you do get a chance it will very much appreciated. :0)

We understand! Just post when you're back.

Oh dear! Good luck! And keep safe.

He took a gulp of water and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. “Ted’s ex didn’t move two hours away. Joyce stayed in Granger where she belonged.”

“She stayed where she belonged?” Hadley's face flushed an angry red. “What sort of misogynistic sh*t is that?”

“You’re two hours away. You’re setting yourself up to be a single parent. Is that what you want?” He needed to get her back to Granger where he could at least try and protect her. Not that he had a very good track record protecting loved ones, but he had to try if he wanted to look himself in the mirror ever again. He refused to give up trying to do better for her, be better for her. What would have happened to him if Pete had given up?

“I might not always be single, Quinn.” She popped a cookie into her mouth and gave him the stink eye him as she chewed, slow and thoughtful, then sipped her water.

Did she have someone in Chattanooga? That thought was a dull knife to the gut. “What the hell does that mean?”

“I’ll have you know that up until a couple months ago men at work were hitting on me.”

Her words battered him like artillery fire. This was bullshit. Men were hitting on his Hadley? Like hell, he’d let that happen. He slammed his water bottle down. “Sh*t, Hadley! If you think I’m going to stand around on the sidelines and watch some other man be a father to my little girl, then you’d better think again.”

She slammed her bottle down. “Do you think I’m going to stay single the rest of my life to bolster your sagging ego?”

“No, I expect you to marry me and be a proper family, like we’re supposed to be.” Sweet Jesus, did he just yell a proposal at her? Oh yeah, that’s not going to be good.

“Marry you! That is the most screwed up proposal I’ve ever heard.”
