When I wake up the next morning, I’m still so bewildered from seeing the more thoughtful and more human side of Henry that I don’t realize it’s Saturday until I carry Aria downstairs and find Henry cooking in the kitchen. He’s preparing a full breakfast: eggs, bacon, buttered toast, sliced fruit, coffee. I’m both surprised and impressed. Henry has never struck me as the kind of man who cooks.

Watching him move so effortlessly around the kitchen makes my hot boss even hotter. And seeing him dressed in a white t-shirt and gray sweats? It’s almost too much for me to take. His shirt stretches across his muscular arms and I have to force myself to not stare at the bulge in his gray sweats. Damn, he looks good.

“Morning,” he says, smiling over his shoulder. “How do you like your eggs?”

“Fried, please,” I say. “Wow. This all looks great. Thank you, Henry.”

“My pleasure.” He steps away from the stove to pour a glass of orange juice. After he sets it in front of me, his eyes fall to my necklace, and he says, “You know, I’ve always wondered about the charms on your necklace. Is there any significance to them?”

Reflexively, I reach up and touch the small charms. With a smile, I say, “The four-leaf clover was from my parents when I graduated high school. Later, I added the paw charm after my dog, Mochi, passed away. And a dear friend of mine gave me the star charm right before she moved across the country.”

He looks touched. “That’s sweet.”

A few minutes later, everything’s ready, and we’re both digging into the delicious breakfast he just made while Aria lays contentedly in a baby bouncer between us.

“If there’s anything you need to do today, I can look after Aria,” Henry says.

I nod gratefully. “I do actually have a few errands I should run. But I was also thinking it would be nice to bring Aria to the park, since it’s such a pretty day.”

“We can go out together, then. If that’s okay with you.”

I feel the urge to break out into a big smile, but I resist. “Sure. Sounds good.”

With every little kindness that Henry shows me, I’m beginning to get used to this side of him. I’m beginning to see that the cold, demanding version of him that I knew for those six years that I worked for him wasn’t his true self. It makes me really happy to know that he’s a good man, after all.

I don’t know what to do about the sparkly feelings in my chest that keep happening every time I’m around him, but that’s another matter.

After we finish eating breakfast, I get Aria ready, then get ready myself. I throw on my favorite pair of jeans, a cute blouse, and a little bit of makeup—just enough to feel put-together. When I bring Aria downstairs, Henry looks up from where he’s waiting by the front door and looks at us for a second before saying, “Ready to go?”

I get Aria buckled into the car seat in Henry’s car, and then we’re off.
