“Because women give birth and they’re the nurturers,” Beau informed him. “Every judge, whether male or female, recognizes that.”
“I can take care of him. I know I can.” Tears stung his eyes. He hadn’t cried in so long, he thought he’d almost forgotten how. But he wouldn’t cry for Ben. He’d fight for his son…without Elise.
Beau moved restlessly at Jake’s disquiet, then asked, “How did you and Elise get together?

Beau watched him for a second. “Is there any chance she’ll come around?”
