Family Dinner
Clay
I couldn’t stop laughing as Candice covered my daughter’s eyes while pulling her out of the room. Vanessa looked at me with her face as red as a tomato. It was funny to see how embarrassed she felt when Emily barged in to see us in bed together.
We went to the bathroom and took a quick shower before we joined the girls for breakfast. It was an intimate moment, but not to that point.
We lost all our belongings in the fire, and I was glad Vanessa kept all the girl’s things from Katherine’s daughter for Emily. She also surprised me with a box of men’s clothing.
“What’s this?” I asked with my eyebrows raised.

ClayHow dare this woman dump that information on my daughter like this?

Handyman Needed Doubts
VanessaI didn’t wait for Candice to get out of the SUV when I was already at my door. John opened it as he heard us arrive. Without saying a word about what happened today, I hurried to my room.As soon as I made it upstairs, I locked the door, sliding down until I was sitting on the floor, hugging my legs against my chest as I put my head down on my knees.How could I fall for it once again? Why did I have to give my heart so fast, and why did I have to give myself without thinking?“You’re stupid, Vanessa. Forty years old and acting like a freaking teenager in love.” I scolded myself as I felt hot tears fall down my cheeks and on my arms.

Clay“Do you really have to meet her?” Vanessa whispered as we looked at each other with a sleeping Emily in between us. The morning sun had already snuck through the curtains.I looked down at my daughter, pushing a strand of hair away from her forehead as I smiled at her angelic face.“I have to. I need to know what she intends to do with my daughter,” I replied, holding her hand before I kissed her knuckles.“You said, your daughter.”“Yes, Vanessa. She’s my daughter, only. If Kelly thinks she can come back and pretend to be her mother after abandoning her, she’s very well mist
Handyman Needed Picnic For Two
VanessaThe call concerned me. Not because he would be late, but I was curious to see what the sheriff needed him for.I put on a tank top, a pair of black leggings and some sneakers, asking myself if it was the appropriate outfit for horse riding as I paced back and forth, waiting for him to arrive.“If you keep walking in the same spot, you will leave a hole in the floor!” Candice shouted from the kitchen.Another strange thing about this is that she wouldn’t let me into my own kitchen, with the excuse that she was preparing something special for John. What could she be doing for her husband that I couldn’t even go in there?

This one was one of her favorite things to do, and she was looking forward to showing Gabriel around.They had both gotten acquainted and now considered themselves the best of friends.“Daddy? What’s wrong with the boy?” She had asked me the first time she met him. I explained to her his condition, and she understood he needed a lot of special care. Knowing how active she was, I had to remind her she needed to be careful when playing with or around him.

Handyman Needed Suspect
Clay “Daddy? What happened to Vanessa?” Emily asked as I prepared a tea for her to calm her nerves. “I’m not sure, baby girl. But for now, let’s just comfort her, okay?” I replied, getting a nod from her. Looking at her little face, I could tell she was sad and worried about Vanessa. She walked away, opening the pantry door to get some cookies. “This should cheer her up,” she mentioned, shaking the box with excitement before running out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Careful not to spill any of the hot, aromatic drink, I headed up to her room. Emily opened the door carefully, walking in with the cookies tightly against her chest. She walked around the bed, looking at Vanessa with sa
