‘The baby.’
In his urgency to find his brother that small but all-important detail had for a second slipped his mind. At the crisp reminder, he lifted a harassed hand to his brow. His eyes went automatically to the occupied back seat and Nia saw his shoulders square both mentally and physically.
‘Or do you intend leaving him outside in the car?’
‘If you’re not too busy scoring points, do you think you could bring in some of that paraphernalia?’ he asked, nodding to the inevitable clutter that accompanies infants as he lifted the baby carrier clear of the car.
Nia resisted the temptation of having the last word and followed him into the picture-postcard cottage.
CHAPTER THREE
‘DIDN’T you have any hint that your brother might do something like this?’ Nia couldn’t keep the edge of criticism from her voice. She pushed aside a pile of newspapers from a small armchair and sank wearily into it. ‘He looked pretty, well…desperate when I saw him.’
Jake looked across at her just as, elbow bent, she used her forearm to impatiently brush back the heavy swathe of loose curls that were tickling her face. His eyes faithfully followed the rippling red curls as they settled in place. Nia blew the last few wisps away and he turned abruptly.
Toe tapping on the floor, Nia waited for him to respond, his broad back looked angry as he brushed the dust from a pretty chintzy sofa before following her example.
