The Last Bachelor
Page 18
“I’m glad you’re part of this family, too,” Joe murmured, pulling Ginger against his chest.
“I feel lucky to be part of this family. They’re wonderful.”
Vivian rallied everyone. “Come on. Amy made cinnamon buns like Ginger taught us, and she’s got a big pot of coffee on. Let’s go home.”
Joe hung back. “Mom, I think Ginger and I will head for home. We’ll call you guys later.”
“Of course, dear. I’ll give you an update on our newest Turner.”
Once they got back in bed, Ginger fell asleep at once, her head on Joe’s chest, her arm wrapped around him. He stayed awake a few minutes, thinking about the events of last night and how his wife had managed. She wasn’t too young, as he’d worried. She was absolutely perfect. As his eyelids shut, he reminded himself to tell her that tomorrow.
Joe smiled to himself. He may have been the last Turner bachelor, but he was one lucky man now. He’d waited for the best woman of all to marry.
