“Why not? I know how much Patricia would like to see Rebecca and certainly my father.”

“That’s not what I had in mind. I thought we could go up there and get married ourselves.”

Carol noticed Rebecca watching the exchange with large, interested eyes. She knew the two-year-old was too young to understand most of the conversation, but Carol didn’t feel comfortable discussing it in front of her. “Can we talk about this later?”

“I want to talk about it now.”

Carol wasn’t surprised by the direction of the conversation. Daniel had been growing more insistent that they make their relationship official, especially as Rebecca began to ask questions. It would be so easy to nod, smile, accept, and make Daniel happy. It would be so easy, but it felt so wrong.
