Stephanie peered at Adrian from underneath her lashes. She had a wide smile on her face. "I think Chloe might just be ready to meet you."
Adrian’s fork stopped midway. "Chloe?"
She nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, my daughter," her pearly white teeth shone.
"Really?"
She heaved a sigh. "You have been talking about wanting more for us. I thought this might be a good place to start."
Adrian hesitated. He was caught up in his thoughts.
Stephanie bowed her head. "You know if you are not ready to meet her, it is fine. I am sorry for being forward with it."
"Hey babe, that’s not it. That’s not it at all. You are important to me and your daughter as well. The thing is..." He paused. "I don’t want to mess it up. This, what we have, matters so much to me, nothing else has in a long while."
