It was time. They’d talked and laughed, told Tyler stories about their past, but it was time to tell him the truth. “So, you’ve got to be wondering how this all happened so fast. Am I right, Tyler?” Zach reached for his coffee mug. He was going for nonchalance, but he suspected he was failing miserably. “I guess,” he said, shrugging. “Mom usually takes an hour just to make her grocery list.” Rennie frowned at her son but said nothing. True, she wasn’t impulsive. Except when it came to Zach. With him, she couldn’t seem to help herself. “Remember I told you I wanted to marry your mom when we were young?” Zach asked, leaning forward. “Yeah.” Tyler leaned forward too as though he expected his hero to share a big secret with him. “What about it?” “Your mom wanted to marry me too. In fact, we were engaged once.” Zach swallowed, hoping he could get through the conversation without Tyler guessing how nervous he was.
