Steve nodded in agreement. “She might be afraid at first, God knows I was, but if she’s the one for you then she’ll handle it. If you care about each other you’ll find a way to make it work.” He smiled lovingly at Jocelyn. “Like we do.”
“You sound like Jennifer,” James said.
“Jennifer is usually right about these things,” Jocelyn said. “Here she comes.”
