Blame It on the Blackout Page 14

  “Seven months. The doctor says early June.”

  “June. I’m gonna be a daddy in June,” he breathed in wonder. And then he looked deep into her blue eyes. “I’ll be a good one. I swear it.”

  “I know you will.” Raising up on her toes, she held his cheeks in her cupped hands and kissed the corner of his mouth. “I’ve always known. You’re a better man than you give yourself credit for, Peter Reynolds.”

  He swallowed past the lump of emotion clogging his throat. “I love you, Lucy Reynolds.”

  Leaning back in his arms, she smiled softly. “I know that, too.”
