Dylan didn't expect Savannah to stay for dinner. He paused and followed her into the dining room.
It was almost an enjoyable and excellent dinner because of Kaiden and old Sterling. The awkward situation Savannah expected didn't happen.
After dinner, Savannah spent another hour with Kaiden in the living room playing with Legos.
Kaiden had a very full and satisfactory day. After a good meal and a happy toy time with his mommy, he was so tired that he fell asleep on Savannah's lap.
When Savannah looked up, she found the whole living room quiet and empty. Old Sterling was no longer on the sofa, and only Dylan was left sitting opposite her.
"I'll take Kaiden upstairs for a rest and let the driver send you home," Dylan said softly as he reached out for Kaiden.
Gathering up her nerve, Savannah suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I... I want to talk to you."
Dylan raised his eyebrows and sat back down.
