FIFTEEN

The house was as beautiful as she remembered. The security guard hastily opened the gate and Steve zoomed in taking a second to wave at the guard who nodded his greeting in return. Jody got down as soon as he parked the car and hurried over to the trunk to pull out Vincent's box and the two shopping bags but she saw the security already taking care of it. She smiled at him.

"Thanks. I can take it from here if it's alright with your boss and if the guest house is still open." She moved to take Vincent's hand but met Steve's cold and hard gaze on her. She moved back confused.

"Don't listen to her. This is Jody, the mother of my children." He said. "Jody, Tim, my security guard."

Tim smiled. "Nice to meet you, ma'am."

Jody accepted his handshake. "It's Jody, please."

"And this is Vincent, my son and Tory's twin." Steve smiled down at Vincent.

Tim grinned. "Now I know exactly what you looked like when you were a kid."
