River had been joking, but Romina had clearly brought a whole haul.
“I can’t come empty-handed,” she said. “These are from the heart.”
She opened the back door and started pulling out bags—clothes, treats, and even a few toys for Johnathan’s son.
River chuckled when he saw the toys. “You women think of everything. I didn’t even think to bring something for the kid.”
Romina smiled. “Is Mr. Lafayette back?”
“Yeah,” River said with a sheepish look. “Honestly, I feel bad making him take time away. I only wanted to visit Sariyah—I didn’t expect her to call Johnathan back.”
Johnathan’s schedule was far tighter than his own.
