CHAPTER EIGHT

Matt leaned back in his tawny-colored leather chair until the old thing croaked out its usual protest. He wanted to live in the moment with Andi, enjoy her extra days here, but his mind was locked on the future. That had never been a problem with the few women he’d dated. Usually, he had enough of them in the present and couldn’t imagine another hour, let alone a full-blown lifetime. He wasn’t driven by material things, expensive vacations or the latest trends. He was driven by his love for the Lord. For some women, that was a turn off.

He kicked his feet up on his desk. So what made Andrea Morgan so special? He smiled at the sound of her name, even in his thoughts. She was real, for one. Even though she tried to throw up walls and hide behind her mind-over-matter mantra, he saw straight to her heart. And it was huge. Plus, she was beautiful, inside and out, and she made him laugh and she challenged him and she made him actually want to think about opening his life up to someone else.

Well, if he was honest with himself, the fantasy in his mind involved her moving to Mimosa Key and them living happily ever after on Hibiscus Drive. Was all of that possible after only four days? Absolutely. Knowing how great our God was, that was possible and so much more. Time was no barrier for Him.

But there was a barrier for Matt, and his conscience told him a heart-to-heart was on the horizon.

He sat forward and picked up the picture frame on his desk. He’d have to tell her about Lily, sooner rather than later. And in his experience, that news didn’t go over so well with the ladies. But then again, he hadn’t cared a whole lot about those other ladies when they suddenly became super busy with work or felt it just wasn’t the right time for them. He’d resigned himself to being alone and could almost be content with that reality. That was, until Andi came along.

She blew those other women out of the water and made his head swim. When she hurt, he felt the pangs. When she laughed, especially if it was at something he said, he felt a rush of euphoria. In the grand scheme of things, their meeting and the future fantasy in his mind were pure kismet.

But in the here and now, it wasn’t a good time at all to start a relationship. He worked extra hours to fill in for Gary, made multiple trips to hospitals and care centers each week, and drove all over Mimosa Key and beyond for seniors activities. The reality was, when she left at the end of the week, he’d still have all the same jobs and responsibilities, plus the backlog of things he didn’t get finished this week. And at the end of it all, she’d be up north snuggling up to her new promotion and he’d be down here nursing a gaping hole in his heart.
