Gina, my husband Joe,” Lacey said.
                  Joe stepped forward and offered his hand to Gina.  He smiled at her and Gina couldn’t help but return it as she shook it.  He was a very handsome man with his chestnut hair and hazel eyes. 
                  “Pleased to meet y’all, Gina.  We’re happy to have y’all with us.  I’m sorry about Steve,  he was a good man,” Joe said.
                  “Thank you,” Gina said.  “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what Lacey and you are doing for us.”
                  Joe smiled.  “You’re welcome, but it’s no trouble at all.  Emily, come here, sweetheart.”
                  Emily entered the room and went over to Gina.  “Hello.  I’m Emily Dwyer.  It’s very nice to meet y’all.”
                  Gina noticed that Emily mimicked her father’s southern accent and smiled.  “I’m very happy to meet you, too.  You are very pretty.”
                  Emily smiled and her hazel eyes twinkled.  “Thank you.  I saw a coyote today when we were in the woods with our Uncle Reckless and it was real pretty.  I’d like to have one, but he said that they don’t make good pets.  So I guess I won’t get one of those.”
                  Gina laughed.  “Well, I guess not if they don’t make good pets.  I wouldn’t think they would.”
                  “Probably not and it might poop on the rug,” Emily said and laughed.
                  Joe laughed and said, “Yeah, we don’t need a coyote poopin’ on the rugs.”
                  Gina laughed and said, “Yes, that sounds like something Ryan would say.”
                  “Kids are honest,” Lacey said.  “Emily, why don’t you go say hello to Chloe?  She’s in your old room.”
                  “All right, Mama,” Emily said.  On her way out of the room, Emily hugged her mother’s legs and then ran down the hall.
                  “As you can see, she acts just like her father,” Lacey said with a smile.
                  Joe kissed her and said, “Y’all wouldn’t have me any other way.”
                  “No, I wouldn’t,” Lacey agreed. 
                  Gina squelched the jealousy that rose within her at the sight of the happy couple.  She and Tony had been like that.  She still missed her husband.
                  Joe said, “I’m not sure whose suitcase is what.  If you tell me, we’ll get ’em where they go.”
                  “Master, I will see to that,” Randall said.
                  “I guess I can handle some suitcases, Randy.  I know what you can do for me, though,” Joe said.
                  “What is that?” Randall said.
                  “Will you please go ask Cook if she’ll make that truffle cake she made last week?  I had a hankering for it on the way home,” Joe said.
                  “Certainly,” the butler said and walked back down the hall.
                  With Gina’s direction, Joe quickly put the suitcases where they went.
                  “Now, if there’s anything at all you need, you just let one of us know, all right?” he said to Gina.
                  She nodded and said, “I’m not sure how I’ll ever repay your kindness.”
                  Joe chuckled.  “Don’t worry about that.  We’re just happy to help.  Randy will let you know when it’s time to eat.  I’m off to go see Timmy, our newest addition.”
                  Lacey laughed as he hurried down the hallway.  “It’s so funny to watch him with the kids.  He never wanted kids until we got married and now he can hardly bear to be away from them.”
                  Gina sat down on her bed and
