someday.”
    “And you don’t want her to?” Lily asked.
    “No.”
    “I’ll help. Later today I’ll take Diana over to see her. Introduce myself as her neighbor.”
    “Thanks, Lily.” Dirk glanced at Ty. “Guess we have business to discuss?”
    “Yes, but eat breakfast with us first.”

    Chelsea slept half the day away. She got up and dressed in jeans and a green plaid shirt. After brushing her teeth, washing her face, and pulling her hair back into a ponytail, she left the bedroom. At each door, she peeked inside. There were three bedrooms and two baths. The second bath adjoined the other bedrooms. In the smallest bedroom a baby crib had been set up. That was strange.
    Sunlight streaming in the great room windows gave a warm ambiance. She walked on around the long bar and into a large kitchen. The smell of coffee drew her to the pot. She poured a cup and went back to sit in a rocker by the fireplace. It wasn’t lit, but the two-story window brought in lots of warmth. Over the kitchen was a loft, and the windows reached that high. She’d been so sleepy she hadn’t noticed it last night.
    When her coffee was gone, she put the cup aside and climbed the curving staircase. The loft had windows in the back, and with the curtains pulled the room was full of light. Chelsea paced the length of the room. A waist-high railing faced the great room. Other than the curtains, this room had been left unfurnished. A small half bath and closet were at one end. Interesting.
    More curious, she went back downstairs and poked her head in the master bedroom. Large, mahogany furniture, including a bed, side tables, and a chest of drawers were spaced around the big room. At one end were two bookshelves and two easy chairs. The colors of cream and light blue kept the room from being too masculine. To the right were walk-in closets and a large bathroom done in gold and browns. At the other end of the room, a door went into a study complete with desk, file cabinets, and more bookshelves.
    Chelsea had just gotten back to the great room when she heard a voice coming from the kitchen area.
    “Hello.” A woman called out from the back door. The visitor was a beautiful blonde holding a baby.
    “You must be Chelsea. I’m Lily, Ty’s wife. Can I come in?”
    “Sure.” Chelsea opened the door for her. “That’s the baby I’ve heard about.”
    “Meet Diana. Would you like to hold her?”
    Before Chelsea could respond, Lily put the baby in her arms. “I need to go to the bathroom.”
    Bewildered Chelsea watched her disappear around the corner.
    She glanced down at the small baby wrapped in a blanket. Little Diana’s eyes were open and staring at her. They were a deep blue, and she had curly golden hair. Her tiny hand clutched the edge of her blanket.
    Chelsea touched the satin-soft skin. “Hello, beautiful. What wonderful skin you have.” Diana’s rosebud mouth made an O shape and a bubble came out. Chelsea couldn’t remember ever holding an infant. Her brother was older than her. She’d had no experience with little ones. Diana felt warm and cuddly against her arm and body. Leaning down, Chelsea breathed in her scent, a mixture of powder and baby.
    “Don’t babies smell sweet?” Lily walked up to Chelsea. Chelsea started to hand her back. “No. Enjoy her. I’ll make us some tea.” She glanced in the refrigerator. “I stocked some things in here yesterday when we heard you were coming our way. Ham, cheese, mayonnaise, and mustard. I’ll make us a sandwich.”
    “I should be doing that for you.”
    “You can next time.” Lily bustled around the kitchen.
    Chelsea rocked Diana in her arms, and the baby’s eyes closed as she went to sleep. Lily put a plate with a sandwich and chips in front of Chelsea.
    “I’ll be right back. Ty had a crib put in the front bedroom for her. I’ll lay her down.”
    So that explained the crib, sort of. Did he keep the baby for them?”
    Lily came right back and put her plate and
