“Love at first sight seems to run in the Thompson family. Your grandfather met and married your grandmother in a matter of five months. Dad and I met and married in eight months. When a Thompson man falls in love, it’s quick and deep. And it lasts,” his mom added, looking at his dad.

Luke had seen the love between them all these years and didn’t want to settle for less. That’s why he’d waited for Sarah to come into his life. “It just hit me and all I wanted to do was convince her to stay.”

“Stay?” His dad raised a brow.

“She’s brought the boys to visit Margaret for six weeks. That time is almost up and then she’s got to go back to Silicon Valley and run her company. But I’m hoping we can find a way to blend our lives that works for both of us. She’s a programmer so some of her work can be done remotely, which I hope she’ll do so she doesn’t have to commute into work every day. I want her to find a balance that works for her. Right now, she’s inundated with work and puts in sixteen to twenty hours a day, every day. But she’s promised to cut back and work more reasonable hours once she hires more help.”

“Wow,” Michelle said. “How does she do it with two kids?”

“I have no idea. The last time I saw her working, she had six computers going, a dozen files, and several cell phones handy. When she was here resting, her cell phone rang practically every two minutes. All I wanted to do was tell everyone to leave her alone and wrap her in my arms and let her have the peace and quiet she needed.”

“You really do love her, don’t you, son?”

“Yes, Mom. She’s it for me. I can’t imagine living the rest of my life without her and the boys. They’re so great. They remind me so much of Jason and me when we were young.”

“Who’s not young, old man?” Jason scowled. “I’m still young.”

“You won’t think that when you meet these boys. Nick, the four-year-old, he kicks my ass on the video games. Wait until he challenges you to play the race car game. He’s good.”

“That’s my best game. No way I let a four-year-old beat me.”

“Nick will. Jack is a strategist. He loves Knight’s Revenge. Sarah taught him some tricks to the game and he’s really good.”

“Sarah plays video games with them?” Jason looked surprised.

Nothing about her surprised Luke anymore. “She does everything with them. She taught them how to play baseball. I’m telling you, she’s mom and dad to those boys. She even taught them how to spit.”

“Seriously?” Jason smirked. “I think I love her.”

Jason gave him a wink, but Michelle took exception to his teasing. “Don’t even think about it, buster.” Michelle gave her husband’s hair a tug while she watched her daughter practice walking. “Is she another blond bombshell like all the others?”
