Chapter 71
“You’re really gonna build us a room, Mr. Jack?” he asked.
“That I am, son. You and your momma are going to have your own little apartment.” He showed the little boy the floorplan.
“I can’t ask that of you, Mr. Jackson,” Miz Babe said.
“Sure you can.” He gave her a broad grin. “I haven’t added anything to the ranch in a while.”
“Don’t argue, Miz Babe,” Tom said. “When Jack gets that look, he’s got the bit between his teeth, so you may as well give in. It’s what I do.”
She worried her lower lip, and Tom reached over and touched her hand.
“I understand your concerns, but it will be okay,” he assured her. “This is a gated community, and you’ve got four adult men available in the main house. Six if we count Josh and Billy Bob.”
“I hope you will count us.” Josh smiled at her. “I don’t live here, but I’m just a phone call and a fast motorcycle ride away.”
