The Price of His Redemption

Jesse wasn’t in his library like she expected. Instead, Ethan led her to the kitchen, where Gideon was pouring fresh cups of coffee all around.


“Uh oh,” she said. “This is starting to look like I’m in trouble with Mom and Dad.”


“As long as Gideon is Mom,” Jesse said, bringing the mug up to his mouth.


“Right, because you don’t spend—” Gideon stopped when he caught Ethan’s eye. Wordlessly, he passed over their drinks and then leaned against the counter.


“What’s this about?” Emma asked, taking the seat opposite Jesse at the table.


“Keeping you and Ethan safe,” Jesse answered. “Making sure nothing like this ever happens again. But…before I say anything else, I just want to make it clear that this is your decision. I won’t make it for you.”


“Okay, now you’re making me nervous.”
