Then he picked up his phone and sent her a message. "Have you arrived?" A moment later, Hadley replied with a photo-Joy fast asleep under her blanket, tucked in bed.
Eric smiled faintly, brushing his thumb across the screen.
Another message followed. "Hope you stick to your word." A not-so-subtle reminder-he had promised not to reveal he was Joy's father.
