perfect.” He kissed her on the cheek.
Jemma smiled at him. “You looked very handsome. I’m sure you’ve already met everyone.”
Kyle nodded.
Someone cleared their throat. “Oh, this is my sister, Janna.”
Kyle met the gaze of Jemma’s sister. They could almost pass for twins, except Janna was about two inches shorter than Jemma. He stuck out his hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“Same here. Now don’t you worry about a thing. Kassie will be well looked after. So don’t hurry back.”
Kyle looked from Jemma to Janna. “O-kay….” Not sure of what to do next, he said, “Ready?”
“Yes,” Jemma said smiling. “Kassie, we’re leaving.” She looked at him. “She wanted to say bye.”
Kyle felt honored. “No problem.” He grinned as Kassie ran into the room and into his arms.
“Bye, Mr. Kyle.” She hugged him before sliding down the floor.
“Bye, Kassie. I’ll see you next week.”
“Have fun at the movies.” She took out for the other room.
“Movies?” Janna looked at him.
“That’s what I told her,” Kyle admitted. “It seemed easier than saying an actual date.
“Got it.” Janna start ushering them toward the door, then she opened it and waved them out of the house.
Kyle took the hint and put his arm around Jemma’s waist guided her out of her house. Subltety was not her sister’s thing. The door quickly closed behind them.
Jemma huffed. “I’m being ran out of my own house!” Her mind really wasn’t on the fact that she didn’t even have her purse, she was focused on the man now holding her hand.
Kyle was dressed in a dark button down shirt, black sports jacket, slacks and leather shoes. She’d expected jeans and boots. That was what she got for stereotyping him. And he smelled wonderful. It was going to be hard to resist him.
“Where’s the truck?” She assumed he’d bring one of the ranches’ vehicles.
“I brought my car,” he said, leading her toward a very stylish BMW. He opened the door for her and she slid inside. After he closed the door, she realized that this was going to be a hard night. She ran her hand across the leather interior.
He slid behind the driver’s wheel. “You could have told me about your father.” He started the car. “Not that it matters to me, but a heads up would have been nice. I thought I was at the wrong house.”
“Yes, I could have. I like surprising people. My parents have been married 41 years. My dad was an English professor, he retired a few years ago. He met Mom his sophomore year hear. She was a nursing student. They met at a party.”
“Wow! Does he ever go back to England?”
“Yes, he and Mom go every year. My grandmother is there, along with aunts and uncles, and several sets of cousins.”
“When did you go?”
“A few years ago. We were supposed to go last year, but you know with losing Jared and Kassie’s condition, I just couldn’t do it.”
He reached across the console and grabbed her hand. “I understand, Jemma. It would be hard to face anyone with the amount of stress you were under. You’re a very strong woman.”
She smiled. “I never thought of myself that way. I was just doing what I had to do for my family.”
At the red light, he kissed her hand. “You are strong to me. That’s what I admire most about you.”
He always said the right thing to make her feel better about herself. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” He continued driving.
“You know, Janna rushed us out of the house so fast, I don’t even have my purse.” She didn’t know why she was mentioning this.
“No problem. He pulled up to La Bella’s Italian Cuisine. “Here we are.” He parked at the valet stand.
The passenger door suddenly opened and a slender hand reached in to help Jemma out of the car. “Hello, ma’am,” the young man said. “Welcome to
