Excerpt
Two:
The Vet’s Valentine Gift by J.L. Campbell
I sat there thinking Dane had a nerve. From what I
understood, he'd been a constant source of disappointment to Jade since his
separation and divorce from Toni. Considering that, I didn't know why Toni
would defend him.
When she came back to the living room, Jade was with her.
One look at her told me she was still unhappy. Her little
mouth drooped at the corners and she kept her gaze lowered. She climbed onto
the sofa to sit beside me and after a moment I slipped my arm around her
shoulder.
Toni sat on her other side and fixed her eyes on the
television where the business segment of the news was on air.
Jade poked me in the leg. "Doc, I didn't ask you
before, but you got any children?"
"Do you have any children," Toni said.
Jade nodded to acknowledge her and then turned back to me.
"Do you have any?"
"I shook my head. I have nieces and nephews though.
Does that count?"
"Nah, but if you had a little girl like me, you'd want
to see her all the time, right?"
A deep breath was in order, because I was heading into a
minefield and had to choose my words so as not to rile Toni any further.
Gently, I plucked Jade's nose. "Of course, if she was
as cute as you are."
Jade turned to Toni. "See, I told you he'd make a good
daddy."
Toni shot fire at me with her eyes, and my only response was
a shrug. I wasn't about to make Jade feel any worse after her argument with her
father.
Jade didn't say anything for a bit, but frowned hard at the
television. It wasn't long before she poked me in the leg again. "Doc, can
I ask you something?"
"You can ask me anything."
Toni sat forward, as if sensing Jade was going to ask a
question she wouldn't like, but she stayed quiet. When Jade looked at her, Toni
pressed her plump lips together and put on the same expression my mother used
years ago to let me know we'd have words later if I did any
foolishness.
Shuffling sideways, Jade angled her body toward me. She
narrowed her eyes as if to gauge whether or not she should ask what she wanted
to know. I guess she was satisfied with whatever she saw because she sat up
straighter and looked me square in the face. "Doc, since you don't have a
little girl yet, would you like to be my daddy?"
