really getting nervous. Was he about to ask her out on a date? She steeled herself, unsure of what her answer would be if he did.
"Okay, ask away," she said feeling a little like a schoolgirl again.
"Does your son like to play football?" he asked. Inside, she felt her heart sink. What did she expect him to ask her? And why did she feel so disappointed all of a sudden?
"Um, I think he does. I've seen him throw the football around with his friends back home before. He really doesn't know many people here, though. And his grades aren't good enough to try out for the high school football team this year." She shrugged her shoulders and sighed. Leo ’ s problems seemed to take up every waking moment of her life now. She never would've expected that out of him. He'd been such a good kid and so close to her. They were all each other had for so many years, but now she could feel him pulling away and she didn't know what to do about it.
"Well, then, maybe I can stop by sometime and take him to throw the ball around for a while. I used to play for JCHS when I was his age." Jackson had been a pretty good player at January Cove High School back in his day.
She cocked her head and looked at him confused. "I thought you were going back to Atlanta."
"Well, I might make some changes in my schedule. I haven't taken time off in years, and January Cove has a lot more interesting things going on these days than I thought it would." He slid the money across the counter and picked up his cup of coffee, took a sip and winked. "See you around, Rebecca," he said before walking out the door. Rebecca literally had to fan herself as the door closed behind him. Yep, that Jackson Parker had something going on and she needed to stay as far away from it as possible or risk having her heart broken all over again.
Chapter 7
Kyle Parker was nervous, probably more nervous than he'd ever been in his entire life. He and Jenna had been together most of the time they were growing up, and back together for a few months now. They lived together and raised her daughter together, but the thought of proposing to her was making him sick. He knew it was the right thing to do because he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but he wanted to make sure that the proposal was perfect and it was causing anxieties to crop up that he didn't know he had.
"Okay, so do you think that releasing doves would be too much?" he asked Jackson across the table. They had met up for lunch, and Jackson was just digging into his roast beef sandwich when Kyle had broached the subject of planning the engagement.
"Doves?" he said almost choking on his sandwich.
"What's wrong with doves? They're nice-looking birds … " Kyle said throwing his hands up as he looked down at his list he'd made of all the things he wanted to do.
"Don ’ t you think you should leave something for the wedding itself? I mean doves?" Jackson said laughing. "We have a million seagulls flying around out there, and you want to add doves? What if they don't get along? You don't want to be responsible for the great Dove War, do you?"
Kyle shoved Jackson's shoulder across the table causing him to drop half of his sandwich on the floor. "I just want to make this as special as possible for her. It's been a rough few years for Jenna." Jackson stared at his lost sandwich for a moment before looking back at Kyle.
"Look, man, she just wants to marry you. For whatever reason, the woman is in love with you. I don't think the engagement moment will matter nearly as much as you think it will."
"See? This is why you don't have a woman. The engagement is hugely important to women. That right there shows you just don't understand how women work. I've got to get this thing just right so she has this wonderful memory for the rest of her life. I read it in all of the magazines." Kyle looked down at his paper and Jackson started snickering to
