Chapter 43: She can take them

When he collected Lindi and the twins on Friday, Lindi opened the door and smiled, but she looked tense. "We're ready."

Rafe wanted to ask her if she was still mad at him, if he'd have to accept that she'd sleep with him and allow him to see their children, but not want anything more. He swallowed back the words, bent down, and kissed her. She returned his kiss. Briefly. No, he'd never give up trying to get her to marry him.

"Boys, get in the car," she hollered.

Rafe lifted a brow. Someone was in a shitty mood. Being a halfway clever human being, he kept his mouth shut and led them to his car.

He drove them to the hospital. Lindi had been tense from the moment he picked them up, and at first, he'd thought it was driving with him that made her eyes flash and her lips firm, but now he suspected it was the argument going on in the backseat that had her ready to commit murder.

"Batman can outthink Superman anytime," Raphael said.
