Dont Hurt Us – Kristin MacQueen

You’re smart, talented, loving, and more than beautiful. You take everything life throws at you with grace and determination. You don’t complain or ask for help, you do it all on your own and I find that ridiculously attractive.” I press a soft kiss to her lips right before little footsteps enter the kitchen. I wish we weren’t keeping our relationship a secret. Then I could touch her and kiss her whenever I wanted to. “Thank you.” “For what?”

“For being you.” Unsure of how to respond, I smile as Danny and Bree take their seats at the table. It’s cute how Bree automatically takes the chair next to mine and Danny always sits next to Sydney. I’m more than a little excited I get to sit next to Sydney, even if I can’t touch her. Since everyone already has a bowl of stew in front of them, I pass around the bread and we dig in.

The smell of the food cooking has been teasing me all day. I’ve been waiting to get a taste and it doesn’t disappoint. “This is amazing, Mav.” Sydney glances up at me with surprise. “I can cook, Syd.” I smirk, loving how I can shock her with my skills. “I’ve been living by myself for a long time. If I didn’t learn to cook, I would’ve died.”

“I’m not sure who’s a better cook, Mommy. Maverick’s really good!” Bree grins as she takes another large bite. “Definitely Mommy. I only know how to make a few things well, but this is one of my favorites.” I motion to the bowl in front of me. “I think Maverick sneaks more vegetables into his meal though.” Sydney chuckles when Bree’s eyes go wide and she stares down at her dinner. The kids finish their meal quickly and then beg us to let them go back downstairs.

I’m more than happy to have them stay longer, especially if that means I get some extra time with Sydney. “I just can’t understand how you did it all. I’ve never seen them so happy with someone other than me. And they ate all their vegetables! Are you bribing them somehow?” “No.”

I think it’s time for you to call it a night.” I take the empty mug and place it in the sink behind the bar. “C’mon, Mav. Just give me one more.” He holds up two fingers and sways on his seat. “Nah, I think Ginny’s probably worried about where you are. Do you have a way to get home, or do you want me to call Colt?”

“I don’t need the sheriff,” he scoffs. “My feet work just fine.” “I’m pretty sure they won’t.” I grin and watch as he tries to stand up. He’s an older man and comes in every Friday night after work. He’s a total light weight and always has been. Two beers make him tipsier than most men after six.

“I’ll take him home,” Bill says in a gruff voice.
