Tempt Our Fate (Sutten Mountain, #2)

by Kat Singleton

“Oh, I’m not sorry for him. I’m just sorry you’ll have to deal with him.” “He’s really not so bad.” I laugh. “Yeah. He’s worse.” “What if he came and asked you personally?” “He wouldn’t be caught in hell coming to ask me for help,” I point out. I hardly know the man, but I’ve gathered that much from him. He seems like the kind of person that doesn’t ask for help, let alone ask for it from someone he said he never wanted to see again. “But if he did? If he came over here and begged for your help, would you help us then?” I smirk, trying to get the mental picture of him in my head. It would be pretty nice to hear him beg and grovel. Maybe I could find a way to make it work if he just got down on his knees… “Sure,” I say, mostly as a joke. There’s no way he’d come over here and beg. He’s too good for it, but it gives me an excuse to not feel like I’m being rude to this nice woman. She reminds me of my mom in a way. There’s a quiet kind of confidence to her. One that doesn’t accept bullshit but is still one of the nicest people you know. Trisha holds up one finger in the air as she begins to back up. “Don’t move.” “Not going to hold my breath,” I call after her. There’s no way he’s coming through the door, but I don’t burst her bubble. “He might just surprise you.”
