“Coffee would be nice. Black will be fine.”

Ileana went to the cabinet and began to pull down cups and saucers. While she gathered the coffee and pie, she could hear him taking a seat at the table. Just thinking about him being here in her house, so near and touchable, made her hands tremble, and she silently scolded herself as she fumbled the pieces of pie onto small breakfast plates.

As she placed everything on the table, she carefully kept a polite distance between them. Yet in spite of that, she felt breathless and terribly foolish for reacting so strongly to the man.

“I suppose I should reassure you that I didn’t bake the pie,” she said as she took a seat across from him.

He chuckled. “Why? Are you a bad cook?”

She wrinkled her nose. “Not exactly bad. The things I do know how to cook turn out pretty well. But I only know how to make a few dishes. Mother says I always had my nose stuck in a test tube instead of an oven, and I suppose she’s right.”

As Mac dug into the pie, he decided Ileana was much more animated tonight. It was good to see, he realized, and even better that she didn’t appear to be annoyed by his showing up on her doorstep.

After last night, when he’d practically forced her into having dinner with him, he’d promised himself that he wouldn’t barge in on her private life like this. But he’d desperately wanted to see her again, and all it had taken was a little nudge from Chloe and Wyatt to put him on the road to Ileana’s house.

Mac forced his gaze away from her face and around the room. “I like your home. The outside is beautiful. And the inside is comfortable and homey.”
