Chapter 21

I sipped my coffee, sitting next to the patio heater and enjoying the quiet morning. I had played a little music and was now enjoying my morning coffee outside in the fresh air. I listened to the birds singing, picking up their beautiful song and humming along with it. I was positive the angry people in the world were only angry because they didn’t have peace. If we had more gardens, parks, and forests in the world, people would be happier.

My phone rang, the melody a Mozart piece. It was the ringtone I had set for Harper. “Good morning,” I answered.

“Good morning to you. You sound like you’re in a good mood.”

“I think I’m always in a good mood.”

She laughed softly. “I suppose you are. I’ve got all that paperwork done. Are you sure you don’t want me to email it to you? I would hate to have you take time out of your busy schedule to come here.”

“No. I’d like to see you. My schedule isn’t that busy. Are you free tonight?”

“I am. What do you want to do?”

I grinned. I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn’t want to be crass. “How about dinner?”

“I can do dinner. I’ll ask Kylie to keep Jace for the night.”

“Sounds good. I need to go into the office to take care of some things, and then I’ll head to your office.”

“I can’t wait to see you,” she said.

“See you soon,” I told her and ended the call.

I leaned back in the chair, feeling good about the way things were going, although I wasn’t sure things were going to last. I wasn’t sure if she would want them to last. There was the chance that once the festival was over, we would go our separate ways. I didn’t like that idea, but I knew it was a possibility. She was a strong, independent woman. She didn’t need me. I needed her. I wanted to see her again and again. I didn’t want things to end simply because the festival was over.

After going into the office and taking care of a few things, I made my way to Harper’s office. I parked the car and walked in. Harper was on the phone, one hand scribbling on a pad as she bobbed her head, making sounds of approval. She waved at me to have a seat. I did as she asked, trying not to listen to her conversation. She ended the call and put her hands on her desk, looking at me and smiling. Her hair was a little mussed, and I could see she was stressed but putting on a really good show to appear calm.

“You’re early,” she said.

I nodded. “I am. I got done early and thought I would come on over. I hope that’s okay.”

“It’s perfect. I was just finishing up with one of our vendors. Let me get the paperwork.”

“How’s your day been?” I asked her.

She offered a harried smile. “Good. Better now that you’re here.”

“Any more problems with Jace?”

She shook her head.
