Chapter 9

Nate opened the trunk of his car and grabbed the plastic shopping bag. Inside was a pair of brand-new running shoes for Jessie. She'd told him during their run that morning that she'd been measured in the running store, but that she'd need to save up to buy a pair. Nate knew the owner, and he knew the store entered everyone's foot measurements and characteristics into a computer for future reference. Jessie was a size nine with average arches, no pronation issues. Buying her the perfect pair of shoes had taken all of five minutes.

He whistled as he walked down the sidewalk, the plastic-wrapped box tucked under one arm. He wanted her to have nice shoes because he wanted her to keep running. Those early morning runs had started to become the best part of his day. He'd been totally wrong when he'd thought he knew everything about Jessie. Sure, when she talked about her life she often kept the filter off, but he was learning things about her that he'd never known in all their years of friendship. Like the fact that she spent her nights watching cooking shows and home shopping channels, or that she worried about how much she talked to Prince Travis. Just a few days earlier, she'd told him that in the years her parents were away, she'd consoled herself by imagining them to be doing something exciting. "It was my fantasy that they were living double lives as spies," she explained. "I would watch spy movies with Wren, and we agreed that my parents were probably zipping around Europe in some sexy car, shooting at bad guys." She'd grown quiet. "It seems stupid, but it sounded better than selling computer components." He'd never wanted to hug her as badly as he had right at that moment.

They hadn't talked about the kiss since it happened almost a week ago, but then, they hadn't talked about Quinn, either. The more time that passed, the more the entire incident felt like something he might have imagined, or some misunderstanding. Nate hated that it was unresolved, but he didn't know how to fix it, and he didn't want to address it until he felt better prepared. Ultimately, he was glad that Jessie was on board with the road race, which Tom was calling the "Sweet Relief 5K." She was going to run, and she was going to create solid chocolate finisher's medals. It would be the perfect way for her to promote her new business venture.

As for his business...he was back at the drawing board. There were simply no spaces in the surrounding towns that would be appropriate for a gym, and if Mr. Dinardo wasn't going to budge on the price, Nate didn't have a lot of options.

He pulled open the door to Hedda's, stepping in as the bell above the door chimed. Jessie was standing beside a table in the corner, taking orders. She didn't see him, so he crossed behind her to the counter, where Emily was measuring coffee.
