not wanting to think about how devastated he had been. If it hadn’t been for Wade and his parents, he might not have recovered as quickly as he did.
“What do you suggest I do, Mom?”
His mother gave him a sympathetic look. “There is nothing you can do but give Kristen time. She will let you know when she is ready.” His mother smiled. “But it wouldn’t hurt for you to show her what she is missing out on in the mean time.”
He thought about what his mother said as he helped Wade put his toys in the bag before telling his mother bye. Wade climbed into the truck, and Randy strapped him into his car seat. As he backed out of the driveway, he realized his mother was right. He couldn’t sit back and wait for Kristen to make the decision all by herself. He had to come up with a plan to show her why she should do more than just think about giving him a chance.
Chapter Five
Kristen groaned as she pulled into the driveway. Even though it was still early she had hoped her sisters wouldn’t still be up. After dinner with Randy, she needed time to think. She sighed in frustration as she got out of the car. There would be no chance of that. She opened the door and both of her sisters looked up at her.
“How was the date?”
Kristen rolled her eyes at Kayla. “It wasn’t a date.”
Kayla frowned. “Did you sit down at a restaurant, eat, and have conversation?”
Kristen groaned. “Yes.”
Kayla smiled. “Sounds like a date to me.”
Kristen flopped down on the couch. “Now is not the time for your sense of humor, Kayla.”
Keirra sat up and turned the volume down on the television. “So it seems like everything went well.”
“Everything went perfectly,” Kristen half growled.
“Damn cops,” Keirra grumbled before going into a tirade of cursing cops and sisters too weak to resist them. Kristen laughed at her sisters and shook her head.
“Look, you two, I appreciate your concern, but I am a capable of handling this right now. If I can’t, I will let you know.”
This was hers and hers alone. What she had experienced with Randy was wonderful, and she wouldn’t change it for anything. Still, she had to figure out what it was she had with Randy. There was no doubt she still had feeling for him, but what was she going to do about it? Getting involved with Randy again was a major risk to her heart. There was a lot of thinking to be done and decisions to be made. He had pushed her away once, and six years had been lost because of it. They both had changed, yet a lot of things were still the same. Kristen looked over at her sisters. Keirra was still staring her down, and Kayla was still smiling, but they were respecting her wishes and not cornering her for an inquisition. She would have to keep that in mind when her sisters found romance.
Keirra and Kayla had dated their share, but when she thought about it neither one of them had ever had a serious boyfriend. Not like she had been with Randy. Keirra had never gone out with anyone long enough for him to be classified as a boyfriend.
The three of them had their quirks men just couldn’t get around. She was considered to be the shy one, the non-confrontational one, but normally, she scared men off with her strong sense of feminism. Men knew that when she was with them, it was because she wanted to be with them in return and not because she needed to be. Kayla was the perfectionist and always had the perfect amount of rationale. If that didn’t run a man off, her brain did. Keirra was athletic and a little bit of a control freak. She tended to be opinionated and outspoken, which left men without a word to say because they couldn’t get a word in if they wanted to. The three of them together made a hell of a trio. It also made for interesting times. People always worried about twins switching places. Well, triplets liked to play the switching game, too, and they did it a little
