Maid for the Single Dad (2010)
“To her amazement six-year-old Lacy was waiting for her.
“Lacy?”
From her position on one of the chairs at the table, she peeked at Ellie. “Sorry.”
“Oh, that’s okay, honey,” Ellie said, walking over to the table where the little girl sat. She stooped down to make herself eye-level. “I’m just a little concerned about you being up by yourself.”
Lacy leaned her elbow on the table and angled her chin on her fist. She wore pale blue pajamas covered in tiny pink hearts. The color brought out the blue ...in her eyes and made her wispy pale hair seem even more golden. “I just sit here until somebody gets up.”
“Really?”
“Yes. She does. She’s fine.”
Ellie spun around to face the door when Mac spoke. He stood on the threshold, not in last night’s pajama bottoms, but in a pair of sweatpants and a baggy T-shirt. Barefoot, he ambled into the kitchen.
“She likes an egg for breakfast, toast and some blueberries.”
“And a glass of milk,” Lacy added with a grin.
Staring at Mac, Ellie told her heart to settle down and her hormones to please take a vacation, but neither listened.MoreLess
