Troubled Water (Devotion #3)

Chapter 26

“Got a problem, Fox?” I taunt.

“Just something in my eye, sir. I just need a moment.”

I really want to bust her balls about thinking I wasn’t a romantic, but her next question brings me back into focus. “It’s been ten years since you and your wife married. No children?”

“No, not yet.”

“Do you want them?”

“We both do, eventually.”

“Are you waiting for a reason?”

I’m waiting to see if the one she’s carrying survived its father shooting its mother last night, I think grimly. “Timing. It all comes down to timing.”

And ensuring the threat against my wife doesn’t take that dream from us before Bethany even has the chance to tell me.
