Steph groaned as the email she’d spent the last ten minutes one-finger typing disappeared from the screen. It wasn’t the first time it had happened and probably wouldn’t be the last. She was trying to reply to Matt’s questions about Heat Wave, but it was taking so long. This was one of the many reasons she didn’t do computers. It would be much quicker to speak to him.

While the computer felt like an annoyance, she did have to admit that the phone was already coming in handy. She’d worked out how to divert Heat Wave’s phone to her number so that there was no reason for her to be at the studio unless a class was on. Bodhi had always done this. She was surprised at how many phone call inquiries the studio received each day. She generally knew who was calling—after all, it was a small town—and it allowed her to chat with them and encourage them to try out a class.

She closed the lid of the computer, deciding she’d message Matt later. She was sure he was busy with his dad and unlikely to have time to reply. What Steph wanted to do was write up all of her ideas for Heat Wave in the notebook she’d bought especially for the project. She’d lain awake in the early hours of the morning, her usual awake time, thinking through a range of ideas.

With Matt’s apartment project, Asha and Charlie’s development, and now Heat Wave, Buster was going to be a regular fixture in town.

She leaned back on the couch. If it wasn’t for the accident, it was unlikely she would have had an opportunity to get to know him. Not that she really knew him, but they had an undeniable connection. She shook her head and stood. She kept thinking about Buster, and it was scaring her. She wasn’t looking for a relationship, she knew he definitely wasn’t ready for a relationship, yet her mind kept going there.

She was about to make a cup of tea when she stopped. A small smile played on her lips. It was change. For all of her spouting to Asha, that life unfolded as it was meant to, to live in the moment, and to be patient, she had trouble with change. It unsettled her, rattled her even. And this was what was happening now. She was clinging to the idea of Buster because it seemed stable. Whereas Bodhi had suddenly left, she
