The Sheriff's Christmas Surprise. Marie Ferrarella
“Do I wish that Tina was a little more responsible? Yes, of course I do, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love her.”
“Didn’t say you didn’t.” Finished with his bottle, the baby’s mouth had traces of formula all over it. Rick took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the milky substance. “But life’s a complicated thing. You can love someone and still find that there are times you don’t like them very much.”
To be honest, he expected more denials. He was surprised to see that he’d evoked a smile from the woman instead.
Her eyes crinkled a little as she said, “You have siblings.” It wasn’t a question.
Rick began to tuck the handkerchief back into his pocket and was surprised when Olivia put out her hand for it. He surrendered it to her and watched as she spread it over her left shoulder.
“One,” he told her. “A younger sister.”
“We have that in common then.” Placing Bobby against her shoulder, Olivia gently began to pat the baby’s back, waiting for the obligatory burp. “Except that your sister is probably one of those superresponsible types.”
He had no idea how she had guessed that. “She is.” Then he explained, “Abuela wouldn’t have allowed her to be anything else.”
