Read Finding Eva (Highland Creek Series) for Free Online Page B

met someone about six months ago. Linda is an amazing woman; she is smart, funny, and I met her at the local bank where she works as a teller. Eva seems to really like her, and Linda likes Eva too. They have even had a couple of “girls’ days,” secret adventures that I am not allowed to know anything about. I know Eva really enjoys having another woman around, and she has started to look to Linda as a mother figure. She may just be a keeper, but I haven’t told her about you yet. I will at the right time. I pray that you are happy, and just know that your little girl is taken care of by people who love her. I will send you another update soon.
    Sincerely,
    Richard
     
    There were no words for the emotional roller coaster that this woman put her in. Although, she was touched by her father’s words. Suddenly feeling guilty about ignoring her father, especially in light of all that he had done for her and her mother, she reached for her phone.
     
    Eva: I love you.
    Dad: Love you too.
    Eva: I will call you tonight.
    Dad: Ok, talk to you later.
     
    Putting the phone away, she reached into the drawer for another letter when she heard the doorbell. Irritated at the interruption, she felt like she was just getting started in figuring out what made her mom tick. “What the hell is with these people? Don’t they ever stay at home?” No one answered, she was alone, but it made her feel better before she went downstairs to tell whomever it was to get lost.
    She hurried down the stairs, not sure who could be at the door, surprised but not altogether unhappy to see Aaron. “Hello hottie, lawyer,” ran through her head as she looked at him appreciably, licking her lips instinctively. He seemed to catch the action and drew a sharp breath.
    “Hey,” came out breathlessly, from her quick walk from the bedroom as well as her mental walk through all the X-rated scenes that raced through her head. “Come on in.” She stepped to the side as he walked in. That man was gorgeous , she couldn’t help but continue to think as she watched his ass on his way to the living room. As he turned around with hands on his hips, all she could think about was kissing him.
    “To what do I owe the pleasure?” she asked, and it took every amount of self-control she had to avoid the inward cringe she felt coming. Way to make herself sound like a horny little thing right off the bat.
    “I was coming over to talk to you about the house. I forgot to tell you yesterday, and although you said you were selling it, I didn’t know how set in stone that was.”
    “I am still planning on selling the house, but I am curious about what warranted a visit instead of a call.”
    “Well, the main reason I came was for my brother, Conner. He was about to start remodeling the bathroom upstairs before your mom died, and now he has plans but doesn’t know what to do with it.”
    “What was he going to do?” A new bathroom could be nice, as long as she didn’t have to foot the bill for it.
    “From my understanding your mom wanted him to redo the entire bathroom. My brother said it shouldn’t take too long, but he wants to know if you still want to do the renovations. In my opinion, although it would be a mistake to sell the house, your resale value will be higher when you actually try to sell it. It’s already been paid for by the way.”
    “Huh?”
    “Yeah, your mom was fanatical about paying for stuff ahead of time. All you have to do is give the ok.”
    “Sure, why not? But does he need me here to do the renovations?”
    “No, he actually has a key, but he said he can call you before he comes.”
    “What the hell? How many people have a key to this house?”
    “Besides you? Just three people in my family: my mom, my brother, and me.”
    “You don’t happen to know a locksmith?”
    “No such luck…” he laughed “…but to put you at ease, if we had wanted to steal from you, we already would have.”
    “I am not that worried…” she waved
