Chapter 101: Which Room?VOLUME 3: RANSOMING REDEMPTIONMaggie Flynn smiled to herself as she watched the falling snow through the large bay window of the Red Lion Inn. "This is gonna be good," he'd said. While she waited at their table, Bobby had gone to check them in for their overnight stay.He planned ahead, made reservations. But he made sure I didn't feel pressured. Which of course I didn't. She rolled her eyes. I did a little planning ahead of my own. She sipped her wine and thought about her apartment sitting empty and ready with fresh sheets on the bed, and breakfast ingredients in the fridge. "All settled, cher," Bobby murmured, kissing her cheek before he returned to his seat on the opposite side of the table.A wave of cold air wafted over her as he moved past, and she saw a smattering of snowflakes glistening in his hair. "You had to go outside?""I got our bag out of the car," he smiled. "We're in no hurry. Matter of fact, I'd be glad to sit here and warm up f

Chapter 103: Heading HomeThey lingered over a breakfast of pastries, fresh fruit, and coffee at the same table they'd shared the night before. Things felt infinitely different in the light of morning. Outside, five inches of fresh snow blanketed the garden. They ate quietly, stealing glances at one another, sharing private smiles. Their thoughts were of the night before.After making love that first time, they'd dozed, a tangle of arms and legs. Hours later, or minutes maybe, he couldn't tell, Bobby awoke from his half-sleep interrupting a dream about Maggie and couldn't resist reaching to touch her. She'd smiled sleepily and brushed the hair off his forehead, gently kissing him there, and they'd ended up using the other condom he'd brought, both climaxing hard before finally falling into a deep sleep.When he'd gotten up in the morning, he'd padded across the hall to the other room for a quick shower. Maggie had joined him, slipping in behind him and wrapping her arms around h

Chapter 105: GiddyWhen Maggie woke up in the morning, checking her phone was the first thing on her mind. It was becoming habit. On his way home from work each night, Bobby had been texting her, knowing that she was most likely asleep and wouldn't see it until the morning. Good morning, cher. Hope you had sweet dreams. Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon. xShe grinned, feeling as giddy as a school girl, and she entered a reply. Good morning yourself, bayou boy. I had wonderful dreams about a huge four-poster bed and a fireplace and baseball. I can't wait to talk to you and I'm excited about lunch tomorrow. xxShe dressed quickly and headed out for the day. Being in court all week was a pain, but her thoughts were on Michael as she stepped onto the subway and held tightly to the pole just inside the door. Today was his third day of five for this round of chemo. He'd seemed tired last night, and she worried that he'd be sick by the time she stopped by to see him th

Chapter 107: Home in the Bayou"Daddy!" Bobby opened his eyes just in time to see a tiny blonde missile launch herself onto the bed."Hey there, June bug," he cooed, wrapping his daughter in his arms. "How are you feeling?"Jerilyn smiled in at them from the door. "She seems a little better than yesterday.""Better, huh?" He sat the little girl across his stomach. "What do suppose we'd have to do to talk Nana into making us some of her famous pancakes?"She held out her hand to Savannah. "Come on, cher. Let your Daddy get up. We'll go fix him some pancakes."Freshly showered and dressed in jeans and a navy polo, Bobby followed his nose to the giant kitchen of his parents' home. With eight bedrooms and ten acres backing up to the marshes, Justin and Jerilyn Beaulieu had more than enough room for their six children, their spouses, and currently seven grandchildren. "Here, Daddy," Savannah said, indicating a stool beside hers at the breakfast bar.Jerilyn placed a plate stacked

Chapter 109: ParanoiaBobby watched out the window of his first-class seat as the runway came into view, felt the bump as the wheels touched down. He'd flown with Savannah to Dallas, rented a car to drive her to Deanna's, then driven back to the airport for his flight to New York. Just like every time he left his daughter, he'd felt the hole in his heart, but those emotions had been tempered by his annoyance with Deanna. He shook his head to dispel the negative thoughts. He'd see Savannah again soon. And for now, he had Maggie to look forward to. A home-cooked dinner with a beautiful redhead sounded just about right.Brown leather carry-on bag slung over his shoulder, he headed to the escalator that would take him to the taxi stand. "I'm back. I'll see you as soon as I get a cab," he texted quickly as he stepped onto the steep moving stairway.Seconds later his phone blipped. "I see you now, bayou boy." Puzzled, Bobby scanned the diverse crowd waiting at the bottom of the e
