had helped to solidify his decision in allowing her to visit Spencer. The fact that she was poring over toy catalogues, wanting to find the perfect present for a little boy she didn’t even know, gave him some indication that she did have Spencer’s best interests at heart.
    Jane smiled shyly, bring her hair forward to hide her face a little. The action on some women might look coy and practised, but on Jane it only made her appear more genuine. ‘So do I,’ she told him.
    ‘Jane, I want you to meet Spencer. I want him to get to know you and for you to spend time with him.’ For what seemed like an eternity Jane didn’t say a word, only stared at him across the table.
    Finally, she managed to clear her throat and ask, ‘Are you sure?’ She needed to check, needed to make sure because she’d been let down too many times in the past. She had to double-check before she allowed her elation to burst forth. ‘I don’t want you to think I’m pressuring you into this.’
    Sean closed his eyes for a second, trying not to be disappointed that she hadn’t instantly exploded with happiness, hugging him and smiling brightly up at him with those rich, green eyes of hers.
    ‘That’s not the case, Jane. I really do want you to know your nephew. Family is important. I understand that. Spencer is your family so it shouldn’t matter whether we’re friends or colleagues or...whatever.’
    Whatever? Jane wondered what he might mean by that comment. Whatever?
    ‘Jane?’
    ‘Huh?’ She blinked quickly, clearing her wayward thoughts. ‘Sorry. You were saying?’
    ‘I was saying I think it’s only right for you to have access to Spencer.’
    ‘And you’re really sure?’
    Jane stared at him for a moment, his words slowly sinking in. Sean was going to allow her to get to know Spencer! It was as though all her dreams had come true. Slowly, very slowly, she allowed her emotions to shine out.
    ‘That’s...’ She sighed with relief as the smile continued to spread over her face. ‘That’s very good news. Thank you, Sean. Thank you .’
    Sean stared at her, unable to believe the utter delight reflected on her face. He’d wanted to see a bright beaming smile and she was definitely giving him one. He’d wanted her eyes to twinkle with delight and that’s exactly what was happening. But what he hadn’t counted on was the way the two combined would make her look so incredibly beautiful, it momentarily robbed him of breath.
    Inner beauty, he’d learned, was far more important than external beauty. Daina had been a knockout on the outside and broken on the inside. Not that he was comparing the sisters, but to say Jane’s natural radiance was presently knocking him off balance was an understatement.
    The other thing he hadn’t counted on was the fact that, a moment later, she seemed to be struggling to keep tears at bay. She bit her lower lip, her cheeks becoming tinged with pink as she tried to suppress her emotions. ‘Thank you, Sean,’ she whispered, and this time he heard the pure gratitude in her voice. She clutched her hands together at her chest. ‘I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.’
    ‘Really?’ He was astonished by the statement but didn’t pursue it. Something so simple had made her happy?
    ‘And you won’t change your mind?’
    Sean couldn’t help the tingling of annoyance he felt at her question and was about to tell her that he was a man of his word and that she could rely on what he said when he remembered she’d endured years of Daina’s behaviour. One minute nice, the next horrible. Perhaps Jane wasn’t questioning him but rather seeking reassurance because she’d been let down too many times in the past.
    Sean reached over and took her hand in his, noticing she gasped a little at the action, her green eyes flashing with something...was it repressed desire or just surprise? He hoped it was the former because ever since he’d met her he’d had a difficult time removing her from his
