Chapter Nine
Hannah had been pushed into a corner over the night out with Bear. Today he looked positively irresistible. His hair was a little unkempt and he hadn’t shaven.
“This is so good and excuse me for talking with my mouth full,” he said.
She’d made him a salad of roasted salmon and sweetened cranberries tossed together with field greens and her own teriyaki dressing.
“I still think you should market this dressing.”
“Yeah, I’m looking into the farmer’s market thing.”
“Great. Now where do you think we could go for our fun evening out?”
“Anywhere but a restaurant.”
He laughed. “Yeah, I guess when you own one it’s not much fun going to someone else’s. What made you buy it?”
“I’d work in catering before and no one else seemed to want it. I got a good deal and a more than generous loan from the bank.”
“Someone told me the previous owner died suddenly,” said Bear.
“I think they’d owned it for what seemed like forever. They kept it in pretty good order, but hadn’t really moved the menu into modern times.”
“Well you’ve certainly done that,” said Bear, finishing the last of the salmon. “So let me think, no restaurants, and I hate going to the movies on a first date because we can’t talk.”
First date. He’d just called it a first date. Things had shifted here. He’d gone from a nice guy helping Sam to boyfriend material. How had that happened?
“You know I think I’ve thought of the perfect thing we can do Friday night.”
She had too and that was the problem.

Bowling. Why on earth had he picked bowling of all things? He’d only done it twice in his entire life. Probably the least romantic thing you could do, especially on a first date when you wanted to set the tone for things to come.
He couldn’t take his eyes off Hannah as she leaned over, sizing up where she needed to place the ball to strike the remaining three pins. She let the ball go while still bending over to watch it spin its way downward.
The ball struck two of them.
“Damn,” she said, turning around too quickly for his liking because he was pretty sure she’d sensed he’d been watching her ass more than what had happened in the game.
She sat down and took a sip of her soda. “You are going to kill me at this game.”
He’d had two lucky strikes so far, but it really was beginner’s luck.
“So what do you think Sam’s up to at Lilly and Christopher’s?” he asked her.
“They were going to eat pizza and then Christopher had rented Despicable Me 2 for them to watch.”
“I loved the first one, didn’t you?” he asked her.
She nodded. “Sam and I went to see it at the cinema. He laughed so hard he almost fell off the seat.”
Bear laughed just imaging that picture. He hoped to make that young man laugh some more. He stood. “Okay, let’s see if I can get another strike.”
He lifted up the ball, lined up his aim, and let the ball drop.
