Excerpt
“Nothing means a damn thing if I don’t have my baby.”
“And now we get to my suggestion. Do you like Johnny Pine?”
“Yes, of course. He’s been wonderful to us.”
“No, I mean, could you like him as relationship material?”
“That possibility exists,” she said.
“Good. Now let me talk to Johnny.”
She handed the phone back to Johnny.
“Now he wants to talk to you.”
She took the baby and Johnny took the phone.
“Yeah?”
“I have a suggestion that could bring an end to your
troubles.”
“Like what?”
“Do you like Dori?”
“Well, sure. She’s great.”
“Do you like her enough to consider a personal relationship
with her?”
Johnny looked at Dori, then cupped her face and ran his
thumb down the side of her jaw.
“Yes, I like her enough to consider a personal
relationship.”
Dori shivered beneath his touch as she realized Butterman
was asking Johnny the same question he’d asked her.
“Put the phone on speaker,” Butterman said.
“Just a minute,” Johnny said and then pressed a button.
“Okay, you’re on speaker now.”
“Here’s the deal,” Butterman said. “You two are very young
to have such adult responsibilities. You’re both trying to take care of your
families on your own, and now DFCS has their nose in your business and is
threatening you with removing the children from your custody, right?”
“Right,” they said.
“So this would end tomorrow if you were married.”
Johnny took a quick breath, started to speak, and then found
himself staring at Dori instead, waiting for her reaction.
Dori already knew Johnny cared for her because he’d told
her. What he didn’t know was that she was very attracted to him.
“Well? Did both of you faint or what?” Butterman asked.
“I’m game if she is,” Johnny said.
“I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep our boys,” Dori
said.
Butterman chuckled. “Congratulations on your upcoming
nuptials. If it were me, I wouldn’t waste any time. Go get the license and find
a preacher, and your trouble with Miss Carter is a thing of the past. I assume
I am invited to the wedding.”
