When Juliet stepped back and smiled shyly, Laura grinned. “All right, let’s get this cleaned up and-”

The table was cleaned and Matthew was putting the rolled-up newspaper into the trash can. “I thought I’d get everything cleaned up so we could go eat something. I know Juliet can eat her weight when she’s been working hard.”

“Dad!”

He shrugged and gave her a wink. “What? It’s true!”

Laura took the trash can from him and walked it over to the counter. “Go on, you two. I’m going to help Kelly lock up and then I’m going to head home.”

When she turned back around, she stopped short.

Both father and daughter where still standing there.

“Did I forget something?”

“Duh! Hey!” Juliet waved off her dad’s hand that was trying to tickle her side. “What was that for?”

“Don’t say ‘duh’ to Miss Laura.”

Juliet’s shoulders sagged. “But I say it to you!”

“Okay,” Laura held up her hands, “what’s going on?”

Giving her dad a pointed look, Juliet tapped her foot on the floor.

Matthew’s smile was a big lop-sided grin. “We want you to join us for dinner.”

Laura waved off the offer. “You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Juliet and I talked about it last night when she made plans to meet you tonight. We thought it would be our way of saying thanks for your help with her shoes.”

She wanted to beg off. It really would have been a good idea to do it. Laura was beginning to enjoy their company too much.

What was going to happen when this was all over and she went back to being Juliet’s ‘old teacher’?

If she continued to spend dinners and other time with them it was only going to make it harder to go back to being just herself instead of a step-in mom.

But there was that part of her heart that told her to ‘go.’ To enjoy it while she could.

And honestly, that part of her heart was much louder than the cautious voice in the back of her head.

“Okay,” she smiled at the happy expressions on their face at her answer, “where are we going?”

Juliet answered this time. “Your choice! Whatever you want.”

She couldn’t tell them that what she wanted was standing right there in front of her.
