Behind the Lies (Montgomery Justice #2)(96)

Before Zach could respond, Sam let out a loud huff. “You guys talk too much about grown-up stuff.” He raced over to Luke. “Is Joy here?”

“She’s in the den, watching a movie.”

“Can I go see her, Mommy? Can I?”

Jenna smiled then nodded, and Sam hurried out the door.

“Sam and Joy have become the best of friends,” Jazz said. “He informed me yesterday that he’s going to marry Joy someday.”

Luke frowned. “Wait a minute. He’d better keep his hands to himself. He’s older than she is.”

“He’s five,” Zach said. “I don’t think you need to start worrying yet.”

“Yeah, well, never too early to be careful. I’ve got a nice convent picked out for her, with high walls and broken glass embedded in the top.”

Jenna looked at Zach and laughed. “Neither the high wall nor the embedded glass stopped me—or Sam—from climbing into Zach’s backyard.”

“That’s different,” Zach said softly. “You both were coming home…to me.”

Zach drew her in for a passionate kiss and Jenna returned it in full measure.

“That’s it,” growled Luke. “If Sam is going to be hanging around these two lovebirds, I’m packing Joy’s bags for the convent today.”

Zach turned to Luke and grinned. “Liar.”

Jenna laughed and Zach kissed her again. “Guess that trait runs in my family.”

Smiling, she looked around the room at her new family. The Montgomery clan. “Just like love.”

He held her close and kissed her temple. “Exactly like love.”
