“Sorry I’m late, sweetheart.”
Mason looked up from Abigail’s drawings to see Jamie in the doorway of the kitchen.
“Hey, Daddy!” Abigail said, waving her colored pencil in the air.
“Hello love,” Jamie said. He nodded at Mason. “Glad you could make it, Mason. Teagan, honey, I’m just going to get a quick shower before dinner ok?”
Mason caught the uncertain look on Teagan’s face as she nodded before Jamie left. It was certainly odd that his cousin didn’t give his wife a kiss or even a proper greeting. Were they fighting?
He caught her eye, and she was quick to give him a wide smile. “We’ll eat soon,” she said. “Jamie usually doesn’t take too long in the shower. Kate, on the other hand...” She shook her head. “It’s hard to get her to keep still long enough to dress her.”
