      He reached across the console and took her hand. Even with the heater going, her hands were still cold. “Hey, this kid’s got the next best thing. You.”

      She wasn’t the best. “You don’t know that. I’ve done things, made bad choices.”

      “I can’t believe that, or your brother wouldn’t have chosen you to carry this baby.”

      “But not to raise his son.” She sighed. “Besides, I’ve always had Brad to help me, to guide me in life. Now, I’m on my own. What if I make mistakes again?”

      He frowned. “Everyone makes mistakes, Mia, but you can’t just give up.”

      Jarrett had never been the optimistic type, but he was a good salesman. “Don’t forget, you have friends to help you. Is there any other family around?”

      Mia shook her head. “No. There’s no one else.” She wiped her eyes. “God, I hate this. I never cry.”

      “I hear it’s normal,” he consoled her, hating that he kept getting more and more involved in her life. Not to mention the lives of the other tenants, too.

      Once he got off house arrest and they all found other places to live, this time would just be a fleeting memory. They wouldn’t be his problem then. They’d move on, and he’d move on. But could he? He thought back to being beside Mia and seeing her baby on the ultrasound.

      Damn. He needed to get this apartment building in shape and get the hell out of here. “We’d better get inside and out of the cold so you can rest.”

      She grumbled. “That’s all I’ve been doing.”

      “From what Kira tells me you won’t get much sleep after the baby comes, so enjoy it now.” He started to climb out of the car when she stopped him with a soft touch on his arm.

      She nodded in agreement. “Thank you,” she said softly. “Thank you for being there with me today.”

      He caught her pretty blue eyes still glistening with tears and something tightened in his chest. Dear Lord. He was in big trouble.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
