The Proposal at Siesta Key Part 31

"We'll need to change that, I think."

"We?" she asked as they walked down the street, her girls scampering in front of them.

Looking down at her, he smiled. "I have a feeling between your three girls and my three boys and one beagle with a penchant for pizza that we're going to be seeing a lot more of each other."

She thought that was a pretty cheeky thing to say. But since he was carrying Frankie, she supposed he had that right. "We do have a lot in common, I suppose."

"We're a regular widows' club, I think," he said as they pa.s.sed yet another home.

That had never been a club she'd imagined she'd be in. "Maybe we could simply be friends. That is, if you're intending to stay in Pinecraft."

"We are." Turning, he gazed at her over Frankie's head. "We're here for good. And until this very moment, I wasn't sure why the Lord had called us to move."

"But now?"

He smiled at her before looking straight ahead again. "Now I'm coming to see that yet again, the Lord works in mysterious ways."

She had no idea how to reply to that. Therefore she decided to say nothing at all.
