We’re visiting again with Tyler and Shay from The Cowboy’s Triple Surprise. If you missed the Father’s Day post and are curious about what happens before the teaser below, you can hit the back button or click here to see the previous post.

Today’s teaser:

“They…uh…they’ve had jaundice,” Shay said softly.

Tyler looked down at the babies. He hadn’t heard her come up beside him. “They’re—” His voice cracked. He tried again. “They’re okay, though? They’ll get over that?”

She nodded. “They’re better now.”

“When do you get to take them home?”

“Dr. Grayden says if all goes well with their checkups tomorrow morning, he’ll release them then.”

“That’s good.”

“Yes.” She paused. “I appreciate all you did…the other day.”

He nodded.

They stood beside each other, staring down at the cribs.

Finally, she sighed. “Well…thank you for the gifts,” she said stiffly. Formally. In a tone meant to tell him his visit had ended.

He gestured with the toys in his arms. “What should I do with these? Put them in the cribs?”

She shook her head. “No, I don’t think the nurses would go for that.” A moment later, she said, “Maybe you should leave them at the Hitching Post. I can pick them up from there.”

After you’ve gone.

That’s what she meant. This time, both her tone and her expression got her message across. “You don’t want me here, do you?”
