Chapter 30: Cade Makes a Decision

They picked Keegan up at daycare after that, though Cade had wished that he could talk to Rose first. He couldn’t until they put Keegan in bed. Once again, Keegan seemed to sense that something was going on and took his time getting to bed.

“Keegan, it’s past your bedtime. You’ve gotten your story. Go to sleep,” Rose said, some frustration in her voice.

She voiced what Cade was feeling. Now that he’d decided to reveal himself to Rose, he wanted to do it as soon as possible. He had no idea what her reaction would be, but he wanted to move past this if they could.

“I need a drink of water,” Keegan said.

Rose grimaced at Cade as she put some water into a glass. “He never takes this long. He’s usually tired when he comes home.”

“It’s not a problem, Rose, but I do have something I need to share with you.”

She eyed him. “I thought you were in a hurry about something tonight.”

“Anxious, maybe,” Cade said.

“Meet me downstairs. You might be more of a distraction to him.”
