think I should let the kids take swimming lessons,” he said, as much to call himself back to the subject at hand as to let her know that he’d been listening.

      She snatched a hairpin from her mouth and stabbed it into the twist of hair atop her head. “Absolutely. They’re never too young to learn something so important.”

      “I agree,” he said, embarrassed and irritated, “but there’s one little problem.”

      “Oh? And what is that?”

      He ground his teeth together. “I can’t afford swimming lessons.”

      She blinked at him as if that idea hadn’t occurred to her at all. “It doesn’t cost anything. At least, no more than you’re paying me now.”

      It was his turn to blink. “You mean, you are going to teach them?”

      “Of course. I have certification from California. I used to live there, you know.”

      Actually, he hadn’t known, but he nodded, anyway. It was so typically Mattie. Of course she’d teach them herself! He should have expected that by now. Was there anything she couldn’t do? He felt a step behind suddenly, but he was becoming accustomed to that. Thinking rather desperately, he came up with another question. “Where were you thinking of doing it?”

      “Teaching them, you mean?”

      “That’s right.”

      She shrugged. “I have a friend with a backyard pool. I thought we’d start there.”

      He cocked his head. “What friend would that be?” Male or female? he wondered specifically.

      “Terri Whiteside.”

      His stomach dropped. Male or female? he asked himself again, then shook his head over the stupidity of it. What was it to him? Nothing! Except, of course, as it pertained to his children. He wouldn’t want anything untoward to take place in front of them. If Mattie had a boyfriend—and of course she did!—he had better make sure that she understood what type of behavior he expected from her. He opened his mouth to speak, but she beat him to it.
