“I think so. Linda, their grandmother, didn’t say otherwise when I talked to her. She sounded excited.”
“That’s crazy, though. Four babies. All at once.”
“Right? No, thanks.”
Morgan laughed.
“They also have an almost-two-year-old son.”
“Five boys.”
“Under the age of two.”
“No, thanks,” they said together, laughing.
“I think I’d prefer them one at a time myself,” he said, “with a few years between them.”
“I don’t know if I want them at all. I go back and forth. Although, since I’ve gotten to know my friend’s baby, I’m wavering a little.”
“A cutie, huh?”
“He’s adorable and so sweet. If I could get one just like him, I might be tempted. With my luck, I’d get a wild child.”
“Like you were?”
“Haha, how’d you guess?”
“Had a feeling.” As he pulled into the parking lot at the Sand & Surf, he realized he’d had more fun in the four minutes she’d been in the truck than he’d had in longer than he could remember. Even before Billy went missing, his life had become a bit of a boring rut. Nothing about being with Sierra was boring. “Wait for me.”
“For what?”
“To get your door.”
“You don’t have to do that.”
“I know. I want to.”
“If you must.”
Grinning, he got out of the truck and went around to open her door with a bow and a flourish that had her rolling her eyes.
“Don’t injure yourself.”
He extended an arm to her. “I’ll try not to.”
She gave him the side-eye, but she put her hand through the crook of his elbow and held on for the quick walk into the hotel. “It’s freaking freezing all of a sudden.”
“I noticed that.”
He dropped his arm to hold the door for her and ushered her in ahead of him.
“Nice manners,” she said as she brushed by him.
“My mom is watching. That’s one of the many downsides of her being dead.”
“Don’t make me laugh at things that aren’t funny.”
“Sorry.”
