“Stay in bed a little longer,” Isaac said, grabbing me around the middle and tugging me back down.

I giggled and nuzzled into him. “We’re going to be late for work.”

“Technically, I don’t have to work today.”

I huffed, “No fair.”

“I’m going to go in anyway because I have a million things to do before we take a week off for Christmas. But maybe only a half-day.”

“Half-day sounds better.”

“What do you have to do?”

I peeked up at him. “I have some work to take care of for Kathy. No rehearsals today for me to cover. And then the show at seven.”

“So…you might be free by the afternoon?”

“I might,” I said with an arched eyebrow.

“Any interest in coming over later? Aly and I have plans to make Christmas cookies.”

My heart lodged in my throat. He was asking me to hang out with him and his daughter. That was a huge step.

“Are you sure?” I whispered.

He placed a kiss on my forehead. “I’m sure.”

“All right. I’d love to. Let me text you when I’m done with work, and then I’ll come over.”

“Good,” he said, pulling me into another long kiss. “Because I can’t imagine going another day without seeing you.”

I flushed from head to toe. “Is that so?”

“It is. How do you feel about that?”

“Right now? Like I don’t want to get out of this bed.”

He laughed. “Fine. I’ll be the responsible one. We should get to work. If we hurry up, then I’ll see you sooner.”

“That is good logic, Donoghue.”

I hopped out of bed, and he smacked my ass as I reached for my discarded dress.

I yelped, “Watch it.”

“How could I do anything else? Look at that ass.”

I rolled my eyes and shimmied back into my dress. “Hours of ballet will do that.”

“Won’t find me complaining,” he said as he pulled his suit back on.

He tugged me tight one more time and kissed me breathless before driving me back to Piper’s house.

I tiptoed through the dark, empty house and just made it into my room when I heard a parade of feet running toward me.

“You didn’t come home last night!” Piper cried.

I sighed heavily. “I didn’t.”

“And you’re still in your dress.”

“Yep.”

“I’m so proud of you!” Piper said with a laugh. “Tell me everything. Well, not everything. Ew. But tell me most things.”

“As much as I would love to do that, I really need to shower and get to work.”

Piper pouted, sticking her bottom lip out. “Come on. At least tell me something.”

I waved her off and headed toward the bathroom. “Isaac and I were together last night, and I’m seeing him again when I get off work.”

“Eep! That sounds serious.”

I paused before walking into the bathroom and contemplatively looked back at Piper. “It is, I guess.”

Piper started to ramble about her excitement. I knew why she was so excited. She thought if I was happy enough with Isaac, as I once had been, then I might make a different choice. I might decide to stay here in Lubbock instead of go back to New York.
