First Comes Baby...: The Loner's Guarded Heart - Plot & Excerpts
He slept the sleep of the dead. He slept for twenty straight hours. When he finally woke and traipsed into the kitchen, the first thing he saw was Meg hunched over her laptop at the kitchen table. The sun poured in at the windows, haloing her in gold. She glanced up. She smiled. But it wasn’t her regular wide, unguarded smile. ‘I wondered when you’d surface.’ He rubbed the back of his neck. ‘I can’t remember the last time I slept that long.’ Or that well. ‘Where were you?’ He frowned and pointed. ‘Your back bedroom.’ Her grin lit her entire face. ‘I meant where exactly in Africa were you before you flew home to Australia?’ Oh, right. ‘Zambia, to be exact.’ He was supposed to be leading a safari. She stared at him, but he couldn’t tell what she was thinking. He remembered that conversation with Stefan, and the look of fulfilment that had spread across his friend’s face when he’d spoken about his children.
