There was no way I was missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my son to meet his idol, even when I discovered that idol was the guy who saved me from a terrible blind date and nearly seduced me into bed the night before.
When I came face to face with Dallas "Mike" Baker again, he decided he wanted not just me but all my baggage, too.
I thought this was a game to him, that he liked a challenge, but he became a fixture in our lives faster than I thought possible, showing me just how real he was. My son began to rely on him, and despite my reservations, I started to trust him… that is until he proved what I suspected all along.
