He didn't want a one-off deal - he wanted Cory for always. It took only one night to make a baby. Slade had nine months to make a wife!

“I want you to marry me, Cory. I want our son to have a proper father.”

Cory winced. “I’ve already told you I won’t marry you.”

Struggling for calmness, Slade said, “Don’t you think it’s time you started to figure out all the implications of what you’re saying? There are three people involved here, not just you. And one of them is our son.”

“I should have drawn up a contract for our agreement. Instead, I trusted your word. Big mistake,” Cory retorted.

Only the sure knowledge that he was fighting for his life enabled Slade to keep his temper. “I want to live with you, Cory. For the rest of my days.”

Although born in England, SANDRA FIELD has lived most of her life in Canada; she says the silence and emptiness of the north speaks to her particularly. While she enjoys traveling, and passing on her sense of a new place, she often chooses to write about the city which is now her home. Sandra says, “I write out of my experience. I have learned that love with its joys and its pains is all-important. I hope this knowledge enriches my writing, and touches a chord in you, the reader.”

“And what does she want?”

“She did not disclose the nature of her business, sir. But she was quite insistent that she have an appointment as soon as possible.”

She’d want something. Everyone did these days; it was one of the penalties of success—or so Slade was learning. Ever since he’d won that international award for his inner city design in Chicago, realtors and bureaucrats and architects had been after him in droves. He rubbed his eyes. He hadn’t slept well last night, and the mixture of rain and snow that was choking the air was no incentive to get to work. Halifax, capital city of Nova Scotia, one of Canada’s eastern seaboard provinces, had obviously not heard of the concept that March was supposed to usher in the season called spring.

Mrs. Minglewood regarded him sympathetically. She liked working for Mr. Redden on his rare visits to the company offices in Halifax; he was, in general, even-tempered, and treated her as though she was a real person and not a piece of modular furniture. Hidden somewhere in her capacious bosom was the added factor that he was easily the most attractive—not even in her secret thoughts would M
