Exclusive Excerpt:
On the
family room couch, Ian and Harry flopped down on either side of Gina and
snuggled close. She put her arms around them and read Where the Wild Things
Are. The boys grew quiet. Good sign. They were drowsy.
When she
finished a second story, their eyes were closed. Finally. I've worn them out.
She'd give them a minute to sink into deep
sleep, then resume what might be her last search of the house. Leaning her head
back on the couch, she closed her eyes. She would start with Will's black
filing cabinet. In her mind's eye she saw herself opening the top drawer.
A swarm
of butterflies flew out, and Harry and Ian leaped to catch them, squealing and
knocking over several block towers. The center drawer of the desk began spewing
black smoke. She grabbed a potholder to wrench it open with one hand, while
picking up the jangling phone with the other. Will's velvet voice purred in her
ear. "How's it going?"
"Just great!"
The boys
became burning bundles in her arms, and she grew uncomfortably warm. She lifted her head and opened her eyes
to check Harry. Sleeping soundly, he looked innocent and sweet, not at all the
bratty beast who'd confronted her yesterday with his water gun. She ran her
fingers through his hair and across his damp brow. She turned to do the same to
Ian, then sensing movement, glanced up to see Will approaching slowly.
Caught in the cross-hairs of his gaze, she
froze. He stopped in front of her and slowly loosened his tie. A surge of
attraction stirred low in her belly. Why did she find this man so compelling?
Framing Kyle meant he had the morals of a snake.
"Sorry
to wake you." His midnight soft voice held a hint of laughter.
"No problem." Damn. He was here, and
her chance to search the rest of his house was gone.
The twins
stirred at her sides and awoke.
"Hi,
guys," Will said. "How was your day?"
Harry
rubbed his eyes. "Ian broke the window."
"Gina
broke the washing machine," Ian countered.
“We had
ants for lunch.”
Stunned,
Gina looked from one boy to the other.
The debrief continued.
"Gina said a bad word."
"Two
times," Ian confirmed.
At the
shock in Will's eyes, she groaned. She was toast.
He knelt
to examine the stack at her feet. "I see you got some books.
"Yeah, we went to the library," Ian
said."
Harry was
not done ratting her out. "We made cookies and got flour all over the
floor."
Ian
frowned. "They were black."
"We
had a water fight."
"Gina
wore your pajamas." Hands over their mouths, the boys snickered.
Will stood, his brows raised. Her cheeks
burning, Gina studied the carpet. "Sounds like you had a busy day,"
he said.
"Yeah,"
Harry agreed. "It was cool."
Gina
smiled. It had been cool, but she was
going to be fired for a dozen reasons. Time for a quick exit. She scooted off
the couch and turned to the boys. "Thanks for letting me spend the day
with you guys."
She shook
their limp hands. "Goodbye, Harry. Goodbye, Ian."
Disappointed
frowns replaced their smiles, and guilt gnawed her. She had earned the boys'
trust and now she was leaving.
“I’ll see
you out,” Will said.
“No need.”
But he and the boys trailed her to the door, as she kicked herself for botching
her one-day trial. Maybe it was for the best. Ian and Harry were troubled boys
who needed a real caregiver with lots of kid skills, not a clueless
pseudo-nanny who was out to nail their dad.
She
reached the front door and turned to give the boys a parting wave.
