slow smile softened her lips, drawing his gaze to linger there. “You’re quite the silver-tongued devil when it comes to piling on the guilt.”
Sawyer winked at her. “It’s more like being persuasive.”
Jessica rested a hand on his forearm. “Okay, Mister Persuasive. You can fire up the grill and cook burgers and hot dogs for the kids. They’ll probably want to eat before the adults.”
Rachel joined them on the patio. “Is there something I can do before the others get here?”
“You can help me set the table,” Jessica told her. “All of the dishes and serving pieces are stacked on the kitchen countertop.”
Sawyer cocked his head to one side. “I think I hear someone calling you, Jessica.”
“You must have ears like a bat,” Jessica teased as she turned and walked around the house.
Rachel stared at Sawyer’s impassive expression. “You’ve really got it bad, brother love.”
He frowned at Rachel. “What are you talking about?”
“Jessica. You really like her, don’t you?”
He adjusted his cap and pulled it lower on his forehead. “What’s there not to like? She’s pretty, smart, and she seems to have charmed the pants off our family.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about, Sawyer. You like Jessica the way a man likes a woman.”
“Do you want me to lie?”
“No. I’m glad you like her because I think she’s good for you.”
Sawyer walked to the gas grill and pushed buttons to ignite the propane, his sister shadowing his steps. “Good how?”
“She has all the qualities you should look for in a woman who could become your potential wife.”
Sawyer gave Rachel an incredulous stare. “When did you become a matchmaker? Because I’ve never had a problem letting a woman know I was interested in her. That’s enough about me and Jessica. I’ve been assigned the task of manning the grill, so I need to get busy.”
