  “Guess that settles that,“ James Adams said to his wife Jan.

  His wife nodded, a slight smile on her face. For the last few days Jake had been pushing Katie. Jan had disapproved. Let the girl make up her own mind, she had thought.

  “Maybe it’s for the best,” she said now. “That young man is much more likable, Jimmy.”

  James nodded in agreement. The fly in the ointment might be Lydia who had been making eyes at Jake since they’d first met, but who, for the last few days, had only had eyes for Conner. James looked over just as a look passed between Jake and Lydia. Oh, oh, he thought.

  Jan shook her head. She had noticed the look pass between them too. “Maybe if those two get together it will level everything out,” she said softly. Jake had made it clear he was interested in Katie, not Lydia, but the girl had made her choice. Jake would have to accept it. Jan felt Katie had made the better choice of the two. She turned her attention back to the conversation she had been having with James.
