I made it halfway down the corridor before I stopped.

What exactly was I doing?

I had kissed Damon’s cheek.

Teased him.

Walked away.

And enjoyed every second of his reaction.

I smiled.

Poor man.

After years of secretly loving me, he had no idea what had hit him.

I continued walking.

Behind me, Damon Bennett stood inside his office, touching the place where my lips had landed.

At least, that was what I pictured.

The thought pleased me far too much.

My phone rang.

Dad.

I answered.

“Morning.”

    By the time we reached the resort, Damon had already checked his phone four times.I watched him from the passenger seat. "Are you working?""No.""You're checking something.""The market."I smiled. "We're on our honeymoon.""I know.""Then stop."He glanced at me. "What if something happens?""Then someone else handles it."His eyebrow lifted. "Who?""Anyone.""That is not reassuring."I reached across and took his phone. "Maya." I switched it off. He stared at me. "You've just committed a crime.""You'll survive.""I need that.""You need a vacation.""I don't take vacations.""I know." I placed the phone in my handbag. "That's why I'm going to teach you."He laughed. "You're very confident.""I married you. Confidence is necessary."By the time we reached our suite, Damon had stopped arguing. Mostly because he had no phone.The room was breathtaking. Floor to ceiling windows overlooked the water, where the afternoon sun scattered across the surface. Soft curt

    By noon, Celeste was gone.Her flight to Rome had left Cedar Falls an hour earlier, and for the first time in weeks, Bennett House felt peaceful.No surprise relatives. No family revelations. No secret letters. No one crying over something Charles had done twenty years ago.Just quiet.I stood by the window with my coffee when Damon walked up behind me."She really left.""She did.""For three months.""Yes.""In Italy.""Yes."I turned. "You sound suspiciously calm.""I am.""You called her six times this morning.""Five.""Damon.""Six."I laughed. He wrapped his arms around me. "She'll be fine.""I know.""Ethan will be fine.""I know.""Rachel and Lily are fine.""I know.""Arthur hasn't discovered another secret child."I turned around. "Don't tempt fate."He laughed. "I wasn't."I rested my head against his chest. For once, everything felt settled.Then Damon said, "We should leave."I looked up. "Leave?""Yes.""Where?""Our honeymoon."I stared

    The next morning, Bennett House felt strangely peaceful.No unexpected relatives. No family revelations. No one crying over twenty-six-year-old secrets. For once, breakfast was simply breakfast.I walked into the kitchen and found Damon standing at the counter with his phone in one hand and coffee in the other."What happened?"He looked up. "Nothing.""You answered too quickly.""I was checking Bennett Global.""Before breakfast?""Yes.""Why?""Because Bennett Global still exists.""Unfortunately."He smiled. "You're becoming disrespectful toward my company.""I learned from your son."Damon shook his head. Then his eyes moved toward my stomach. "Did you sleep well?""Yes.""Any discomfort?""No.""Did you eat?"I stared at him. He sighed. "I know.""You promised.""I asked one question.""You asked three.""Four?"I threw a napkin at him. He caught it. "I love you too." I tried not to smile. I failed.Ethan walked into the kitchen a few minutes later. He st

    "And yesterday, Ethan showed me something.""What?""How much he loves you."Celeste's throat tightened. Rachel continued."He talks about you as his mother."Celeste looked away. "I know I gave birth to him."Rachel wiped a tear from her cheek. "But you raised him.""Rachel...""No. Please." Celeste stopped. "I need to say this." Rachel took a breath. "When I couldn't be his mother, you were."Celeste's eyes filled. "You don't owe me thanks.""Yes, I do.""No.""Yes." Rachel reached across the table. "You loved my child. You loved him when you had no obligation to.""He was Damon's son.""That isn't why." Celeste looked at her. Rachel smiled through tears. "You love Ethan because he is Ethan.""Yes.""Thank you."Celeste shook her head. "I got more from him than I gave.""I doubt that.""It's true." She smiled. "He made me a mother. I never had biological children." She looked down. "Then Ethan started calling me Mom. And I realized I already had a child."A tear

    Celeste watched Damon chase Maya through the living room and laughed until her stomach hurt."Give me the photograph.""No!""Maya.""You'll have to catch me.""You are pregnant. Stop running.""I'm not running!""You are absolutely running.""I'm moving with purpose!"Celeste laughed harder. Maya ducked behind the sofa. Damon stopped on the other side."You understand I can see you.""No, you can't.""Maya.""I'm invisible."Damon looked at Celeste. "Do something."Celeste wiped her eyes. "What would you like me to do?""Tell her to give me the photograph."Celeste looked at Maya. Maya held up the framed photograph of seventeen year old Damon changing Ethan's diaper. Celeste immediately started laughing again.Damon closed his eyes. "Useless."Maya gasped. "Did you call your mother useless?"Damon's eyes opened. "She is not my mother.""Today she is."Celeste shook her head. "I'm staying out of this.""Thank you," Damon said.Celeste stood. "Although I would l

    Maya smiled. "Speak of the devil."Damon answered. "What?""Did Maya show you?"Damon's eyes narrowed. "You."Ethan started laughing.Damon stood. "You sent her the picture.""Yes.""Why?""Because she deserved joy."Maya shouted from the bed. "THANK YOU, ETHAN!"Damon looked at her. Ethan laughed harder."You two think this is funny?""Yes.""Where are you?""Home.""I'm coming over."Silence."What?""I'm coming over.""Dad, no."Damon started walking toward the door. Maya grabbed his shirt."Where are you going?""To speak to my son.""You are not driving across town over a diaper photograph.""It's about principle."Ethan spoke through the phone. "You're being dramatic."Damon stopped. "Me?"Maya covered her mouth. Dangerous."You sent my wife an embarrassing photograph of me.""You were seventeen.""Exactly.""It's adorable."Damon's face changed. Maya lost control. Ethan went silent.Then, "Did I say adorable?""Yes.""No.""Yes.""I meant hu
