Chapter Twelve

“You tell that boy, hands off.” I gave Sammi a hug, and she rolled her eyes. “And if you ever need anything, you promise you’ll call me, right?”

“Of course.” She grinned and pecked my cheek. “The same goes for you. If Shane gives you any trouble, you call me. Deal?”

I smiled and shook my head. “Deal.”

The mere mention of Shane Parker made me nearly delirious with delight. He spent Saturday working with his design team at the warehouse, and today he was dealing with contractors at the church. I didn’t have any idea how he got contractors to show up to a job site on a Sunday but more power to him.

I’d planned to stop by so I could go over measurements, but I didn’t expect him be there when I arrived, so Tess promised she’d come with me.

“Love ya, Dakota.” Sammi waved and walked along the corridor to load onto the ferry.

“Love you too, Sammi.” My heart filled with joy for Sammi, her dad, and Cynthia. They were going to be okay. There might be a few bumps, but I don’t think they’ll be anything other than the typical teenager hiccups.

My stomach knotted when I thought about how much I cared for Sammi. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever be fortunate enough to have my own daughter or son, so I always wanted to protect Sammi. She was probably as close as I’d ever get.

I forced down a hard swallow and walked back to my car. Sure. I could freeze my eggs, but I wasn’t there yet mentally. Maybe on some level, there was some kernel of hope that I still might meet the one.

Shane popped into my head. Actually, who was I kidding? He never popped out of my head, and regardless, he lived in Montana and I lived in Washington, which was why I probably did need to consider freezing my eggs or something. Just a safety precaution. Although, I had heard of all the pain and mood swings I’d go through just to prepare for the procedure.

By the time I pulled up in front of Tess’s house, I was a confused wreck and didn’t have a clue how or why I suddenly wanted to worry about procreation.

Tess opened her front door and waved as she grabbed her bag and locked the door behind her.

I unlocked the car door, and she climbed in putting her bag in between her legs.

“You look dazed,” Tess noticed, smiling. “Frolic in the sack go well?”

“Hardly. The last time I saw Shane was on Friday and we only kissed.” I grinned and glanced at Tess. “The way that man kisses has me thinking of all kind of crazy things and that’s probably why I look crazed.”

Tess laughed as I turned onto the main road. “I didn’t say crazed. I said dazed.”

“Same thing under the circumstance.” I laughed and took in the beautiful flowers that were starting to bloom along the island roads now that summer had nearly begun.

“How did your visit with Sammi go?” she asked.
