Rebecca POV:

Matthew's car was far away and my heart was slow to calm down.

My Becky.

His voice was sexy and magnetic, and as it burrowed into my ears, it seemed to tug at the strings in my heart that I couldn't help but shudder.

I opened the door and returned to Anna's house, and the children, who were watching Anna cook in front of the kitchen, immediately jumped off the stool and rushed towards me.

"Mom! You're back, we missed you so much!"

I bent down and swept them all up in my arms and kissed them on the cheek.

"Did you guys help Aunt Anna?"
