His Forever Love. Missy Tippens

      When they reached Harry’s house, Lindsay welcomed them in. “Richard arrived right before we did. He’s looking forward to seeing you.”

      He and Richard met up in the dining room. It was strange to see him since Richard had been only sixteen when Bill moved away. He was definitely a grown man now. Taller than his dad and brother. And looking exactly like photos of his blond-haired, blue-eyed mother.

      They all settled at the table, Harry said a blessing, and then they passed the serving dishes. Somehow, they managed to have enough food for everyone. When it was time for dessert, Lindsay shooed the little boys outside with chocolate chip cookies in hand. Then she made coffee and served chocolate cake for the adults. She’d refused his help throughout the meal, but finally relented and let him pour the coffee.

      She was extremely stubborn when it came to asking for help. It seemed she thrived on being in charge of the family, a task that had come to her at too early an age after her mother’s death.

      “So, Richard, I hear you’re in Atlanta now,” he said to her brother.

      “Yes, but I’m looking to move home in the next year or so. I’m tired of the hotel business.”

      “What do you plan to do once you get here?”

      “He’s finally going to pursue his dream,” Lindsay said as she smiled at her brother. She looked like a proud parent.

      “I plan to open a bed-and-breakfast.”
