He looked at her and snorted. "Do not. I'm saying it because I love you and I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world, pregnant or not." So there. The frown lines on his forehead had finally smoothed out as the smile touched his eyes. Silly creature. Silly, beautiful, wonderful Hattie.
He followed her silently, the smile firmly in place as he wondered what in the world she was up to. First dinner, and then what? He shook his head, amused at her instruction. She didn't even need to ask - he'd follow her anywhere. He only stopped following her when his eyes found what she'd brought him out to see.
For a moment, he stood there, gripping her hand tightly, stock-still and barely breathing. The next moment a smile big enough to split his face had broken out as he let go of Hattie's hand and picked her up, all the way off the ground, to squeeze her to him instead as tight as he dared. The moment after that, he'd put her down and dashed off with a little whoop of excited joy as he ran for the track, shedding his tie along the way.
