Chapter 19 THE STRATEGY

TRAVIS' P O V

As I drove away from Katrina's apartment, I found it impossible to suppress the smile that had begun to spread across my face. I had no idea that my strategy would go off without a hitch and work out so well. I was able to get Katrina's services as Joe's piano instructor, and as an added perk, I was able to get her contact information.

I whistled merrily as I twisted the steering wheel to the right, oblivious to the puzzled expression on my son’s face as he watched me drive. I reached out to ruffle his hair which resulted in his giggling and laughing gleefully.

‘‘Why are you smiling, dad?’’ he asked out of curiosity. ‘‘Are you thinking about something beautiful?’’

Something beautiful…

My smile widened. She is indeed beautiful, inside and out.
