“Think you might want to nanny some?”

“Timber and Sophia?”

He nodded. “You’ve probably noticed, my folks and I sort of share custody. They’re happy to do it but they get tired, you know. And they’re busy. But I can’t manage the kids on my own, not while running my ministry.”

She nodded. “So you want my help.”

“If it wouldn’t be too much trouble.”

“Spend more time with my niece and nephew? I’d love it. Do you need to talk this over with the kids’ social worker?”

“Already did. She said she ran a background check on you a couple days ago?”

She nodded. “When would you like me to start?”

“Would Monday morning be too soon?”

“Nope. Sounds perfect.”

“Good. Thank you.” He grabbed her hand again, twined his fingers with hers and enjoyed a quiet, peaceful morning with a woman he was becoming more determined than ever to hold tight to. If only he could figure out a way to make her stay.

Her nannying for him was a start.
