OH, MY. In the car heading back to Bufflehead Creek, Camryn’s anticipation grew. What was Reed expecting would happen when they got back to her place? She would ask him in. She wanted to and it was the polite thing to do, and besides, she didn’t want the evening to end so soon. But if he thought... No, she wasn’t ready for anything more than a few of those spectacular kisses.

She could offer him a cup of coffee or a lemonade. Those were the only choices she had in her house besides one lone bottle of whiskey in the cabinet above the fridge. Camryn had brought it all the way from Charleston thinking that if she became too anxious some night, she could take a few sips. She never had.

She would offer him the whiskey. She would turn on some music softly in the background while they talked. Maybe they would snuggle a bit under the afghan her Grandma Esther had given her on her fifteenth birthday. And they would kiss. My, yes, they would kiss. He would stay a while. They would get closer. Perhaps because she’d told him how recent her divorce was, Reed would understand her reluctance for anything more than kisses right now. He had taken the news quite well.

Reed turned on the car radio to an easy listening station. Once she had planned the rest of the evening out, Camryn relaxed into her seat. She felt cozy and safe. Totally stress free. And then she thought of Brooke.

“You have to tell him, Cammie,” Brooke had said. “He’s got to know that you’re pregnant.”

Well, yes, she did. After they’d both opened up to each other tonight, it was the right thing to do. And as Brooke so truthfully pointed out, Reed would know soon enough about her condition anyway. He had taken the news of her divorce practically in stride. Would he react the same way to this news? At least a girl could hope.

Reed turned off a four-lane highway onto the country road that led to Bufflehead Creek. Camryn sat up straight in her seat. “How much farther?”

“About five miles,” he said. He smiled over at her. “I thought for a minute you were going to fall asleep.”

“I think I could have,” she said. “But I’m having such a nice time I don’t want to miss any of it.”

He reached over, patted her hand.

“Reed?”

“Hmm?”

“There is one thing I haven’t told you. And before we go any farther with this relationship, I think I should.”

“Okay. Sounds serious, so don’t keep me guessing.”

“You remember I told you about the two miscarriages I had?”

“Of course.”

“Because of that, Esther is so special to me. For a long time the only situation I could imagine where Esther wouldn’t be my sole and top priority was if I were to have another child.”

The car swerved slightly. Reed righted it immediately. “Whoa, Camryn. The conversation we’ve been having tonight has suddenly taken a sharp turn. I’m not ready to talk about children.
