Lisa didn’t like what she was seeing here. Her mother was taking all this in and, from the look in her eyes, giving Bryce points. And it was clear that CeCe was already crazy about him. That made it two against one if he decided to make another appearance on her doorstep anytime soon.
Blowing out a long breath, all Lisa could do was hope that she could put him off from trying.
“Bet he is what?” CeCe repeated, looking from her mother to Bryce.
The kid was a sponge, Bryce thought. And probably part bull terrier. He’d be willing to bet that once she latched on to something, she didn’t give up until she got what she was after.
“Handy with my hands,” he told her.
“Like how?” CeCe asked eagerly. She was quick to take the place right beside him at the table. “Can you do tricks?”
“I don’t know about tricks,” he confided even as he produced a coin from behind her ear and then presented it to her. “But I can pretty much repair anything that needs fixing.”
Her eyes as big as saucers, CeCe took the coin from him, staring at it as if he’d just handed her magic in a solid form.
“Wow.” Clutching the coin to her, afraid it might disappear, she looked at her mother. “Did you see that, Mommy?”
Lisa cocked her head, studying their guest. Wondering just how much more there was to Bryce Walker than met the eye. She still had no idea why he’d planted himself on her doorstep. It wasn’t as if she’d encouraged him in any way. The girl within her who had flirted and taken life at face value had long since died. Reality had done that. Reality and Kyle.
