He sat there, holding her hand in his, watching Hope crack up at the robbers’ antics. This could be his life permanently. Sitting with the woman who captured his heart and the little girl who earned her own spot there. He wanted to be the best man possible for their sakes.
He wasn’t yet sure what role he would fill in Hope’s world. She didn’t have a father present, but he didn’t want to step on another man’s toes. Who knew the reason Will kept his distance? Granted, Jahleel wanted to punch the man in the face every time he thought of him, but maybe one day Will would be a good father to Hope.
Until then...
Well, he’d keep praying for God’s guidance.

Will’s ringtone sounded, and Bebe groaned. She was not ready for any kind of conversation with Will.Are you ever?But maybe he’d called to speak to Hope.
“Hello?”
“Lucille.”
She rolled her eyes. “What’s up?”
“I need to talk to you.”
Yeah, she’d figured that out from the phone call.Chill, don’t let him rile you up already.“I’m listening.”
“Actually, could we meet at Sam’s?”
Wait, he was at the diner? “You’re here?” she whispered. Will hadn’t visited Peachwood Bay since he met her parents when they were dating. Her breath caught. Was he finally going to take an interest in Hope?
“Yes. But could you come alone?”
She frowned. Why didn’t he want to see Hope? “I’m not sure I can find a babysitter on such short notice. Besides, don’t you want to see your daughter?”
“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll find someone to watch her. Wehaveto talk.”
She straightened in her seat. “Are you threatening me?”
“No, Lucille.” Exasperation tinged his voice. “Just get down here.”
“Fine. Give me ten minutes.” She hung up and immediately texted May.
