Surprise! Surprise!. Tina Leonard
plunked down on a stool. “They were together at her two-week checkup, weren’t they? I thought it was a good sign she allowed him to take her.”
“Only because he said he’d ride on the back of the car if she let Joey drive her to her appointment!”
Franny looked at her friend. “She doesn’t want to be beholden to Sam, but that was carrying it a bit too far. I don’t know why my daughter’s got herself in knots over that wine company. If Sam wanted it, he’d buy it. Wouldn’t he?”
“Well, yes, but he wanted it before he found out that Maddie needed him. Of course, she doesn’t think she needs him, and that’s the problem. Or maybe she doesn’t want to need him, so he’ll go back to France. Actually, I don’t think I understand Maddie at all. And I wish she would have left the babies with us. That’s what we’re here for. To help her. And so is Sam. But she hardly lets anyone do anything for her, and I think it’s very unappreciative of her!”
Franny thought Sara might be about to cry. “It does seem that the situation is a bit out of kilter.”
“I’m sorry to say this, Franny, but I think Sam’s jumped through plenty of hoops to please Maddie. Now, you know I love her as if she were my very own daughter, but I think she needs a good talking to!”
“You offering?” Franny asked. “I hope you are.”
“You’re her mother!”
“That doesn’t mean I’ve ever been able to make her see sense once she had her mind made up. Maddie’s always had to learn from her mistakes.”
“I think she’s making a big mistake now.”
“Can’t make a gal do something just because he wants her to. It’s never worked that way with love before, Sara.” Franny tried to be reasonable, but her lid was starting to jump from the steam building up inside her head. “Just because he wants it don’t mean she’s gotta do it.”
