Second Chance Dad (2011)
““We’ll just be here for an hour, honey,” she whispered. “If you want to, you can sit on the porch with your books, or you could come inside. Dr. McLaren has a really nice dog you can play with, too.”
The door of the cabin swung open and Josh stood there, looking out at them with an unreadable expression that sent a shiver through her.

“Dr. McLaren, this is my son, Eli. I’m sorry that I had to bring him along, but his grandma Margie called me a...n hour ago and said she had an appointment, so I had to pick him up. But I promise you that he won’t be any trouble.”
He nodded curtly and opened the door wider, his face impassive.
Eli crowded closer to her side, obviously picking up on the awkward tension in the room as the two of them stepped inside, but when Bear padded across the room, his tail wagging gaily, Eli looked up at her with awe.
“Can I pet him?”
“He’s good with children, isn’t he, Dr. McLaren?”
