The Lansing House Part 15
AsherHis fury simmered overnight. He’d never been quick to anger, he was level-headed, and calm under pressure, which had made him a sought after sniper in the Army. His anger was taking over now. He’d left Maggie to sleep, and sat up half the night wrestling with the story she’d told him.She wanted to leave Two Bear Meadow because of what Lorelei had said to her. Asher was aware that he’d only known her for a few days, yet telling the doctor they were engaged had come naturally, whereas it had taken him nine years to propose to Lorelei. Was it because he’d felt that it was the natural progression, or because he actually wanted to marry her? He didn’t know, but he knew he wasn’t going to let Maggie just leave.He was invested in seeing where their relationship was going. He was invested in Melody. Even his father had called her family in the hospital, and that told him enough. His whole family had gone to the hospital after they’d met Maggie once, his brothers having been around her

MaggieAsher drove well below the speed limit, and parked his truck in front of her house. “I’ll just be a minute.” He was on the porch, unlocking her front door before she could say anything. He’d insisted on taking her to his house, looking at her like she was insane for wanting to go to her house.Asher returned a few minutes later with two large suitcases, and loaded them onto the back of his truck. He gave her a smile, and then they were on their way again.“My house doesn’t have stairs, with the crutches—”“Not a chance. At the ranch, you’ll have everything you need,” Asher said, as he kept driving. Maggie kept quiet, but she was having a hard time trying not to cry.Asher looked like he wanted to say something, but he gritted his teeth, and parked his truck in front of his house. He carried her inside and up the stairs to the guest room, disappearing again as soon as she was settled on the bed with her leg propped on a pillow.“Where’s Melody?”Asher unzipped her suitcase, and

Asher“If the interview lasted that long, it’s usually good news,” Thomas said.“I don’t know, Pops, she didn’t sound like herself,” Asher said.They were sitting in the living room with Melody playing on the floor, with a bunch of clothespins. She’d had lunch, and Asher checked his watch again. She’d need a nap soon. He’d returned to the house an hour ago to find Melody on Thomas’ hip, yelling at the stall boys to pitch the hay faster.Half an hour later, Asher jumped to his feet, and grabbed his keys from the hook near the front door. “Do you know where she had the interview?”“She didn’t say, son,” Thomas replied, looking worriedly at Asher.“I’m going to go look for her. Something’s wrong; I can feel it.”“Don’t you worry, boy, I got Melody. You go find Maggie,” Thomas said.Asher rushed out of the house and into his truck. He sped away from the house, leaving a trail of dust in his wake. He tapped the steering wheel with the fingers of one hand as he scanned the road ahead of him

Maggie“Hi, you must be Maggie,” the woman inquired, as she stood up with a too-sweet smile.“Yes, I am,” Maggie said.“Come on through to the back where we can talk. I’m Lorelei,” she said, and Maggie almost tripped over her own feet. Uh-oh.Lorelei sat down behind her desk while Maggie took the visitor seat in front of it. She clasped her hands together on her lap, and looked intently at the woman. She was very beautiful, with glowing skin, and dark brown hair. Her brown eyes twinkled like she knew something nobody else did, and Maggie could see how Asher had dated her for ten years. She was stunning.“Have you ever worked in real estate before?” Lorelei asked her.“No, but I do have experience in administrative duties, and payroll, too,” Maggie said.“I see here on your resume that you have a daughter.”“Yes, I do.”Lorelei smiled sweetly again. “I assume she’ll go to daycare during the day?”“Yes, she will. It won’t be a problem.”“And if she gets sick? I see no wedding band on yo

MaggieOn Monday morning, Maggie woke up feeling refreshed and happy, as she gingerly touched her lips. She hadn’t expected Asher to kiss her, but it had been wonderful. It had been tender, but also eager, soft, yet exhilarating. It was everything a first kiss should be.With her mattress still on the floor, she stretched her arms out over her head. She could hear birds chirping in the trees outside moments before Melody’s babbles reached her ears. She smiled as she got up from her bed and waded barefoot to Melody’s room.“Well, hello, baby girl. What a glorious day,” she said, with a smile. She was rewarded with a gummy grin from Melody, and picked her up to change her diaper. “Today we need to find Momma a job.”Melody babbled some more, the sounds making her smile.“Come on, little lady, let’s get breakfast on the table, and see what’s in store for us,” Maggie said, smiling at Melody. She smiled more when she realized she had called Melody ‘little lady,’ like Asher did.After break

AsherHe showered quickly, pulling another pair of jeans on with a clean T-shirt, and made his way back to the kitchen, barefoot. Maggie was busy slicing a cucumber, and had a salad bowl in front of her. Melody was crawling around on the floor, and she started babbling when she saw him.He picked Melody up, handing her a plastic spoon from the drawer. It went to her mouth instantly. He opened the fridge just as the front door of his house opened. “Asher! I brought that baby chair you wanted!”“In the kitchen, Colt!” The younger brother appeared a few moments later with the clip-on eating chair, and he hooked it onto the edge of the kitchen table.“Hi, Maggie, fancy seeing you here,” Colt said.“Hi, Colt.”“You got room for one more?” Colt asked, as he stared at the steaks Asher was spicing.“No, now get,” Asher said.Colt grinned, leaning against the doorframe. “Are your panties still in a twist over Lorelei’s visit? We all saw her car driving up here this afternoon.”“Go home, Colt,
