Chapter Seven

Exactly twenty-four hours after their first attempt at a date, Bobby found himself back at Sweet Sensations.

This time there was no sign of anyone running out of the shop as he pulled into the parking lot. He eased into an open space near the door and shut off the engine, taking a deep breath as he stared at the building.

Somehow he was more nervous than he’d been last night. Yesterday he’d been psyched, excited about the possibilities and the chance to finally make something happen with Nina. But their conversation at the hospital yesterday had unnerved him, her words sticking with him through the rest of the night and into today.

It’s not the same thing and you know it.

Yeah, he did know it. He hadn’t been able to dispute the words then and he couldn’t now.

Just the idea of Nina having a baby, their baby... He’d thought about it once or twice, just when the idea of kids had come up. He knew what it was like for guys who weren’t able to be with their wives or girlfriends when they were giving birth, and he’d known he would want to be there, even though there was no way he could guarantee that. Not when he could be called away.

For the first time he’d felt a small doubt that they’d be able to work it out, wondered if he was wasting both their time...

Which was exactly what he couldn’t do.

He leaned forward in his seat and tried to shake off the feeling. He had to approach this as a mission, one of the most important of his life. Somehow they would work it out. He just had to get the job done.

Hard resolve pounded through his veins. Yanking his key from the ignition, he climbed out of the car and headed into the shop.

The place smelled as good as ever. He breathed in deeply, something about the smells instantly relaxing him. Once again, at least half of the tables had customers at them. He wasn’t surprised. He wouldn’t mind spending a few hours himself here sometime, just wasting an afternoon. It was that kind of place. Especially if it meant he could spend that time checking out the hot baker.

Unfortunately, the baker he wanted to see wasn’t the one behind the counter. Ashley looked up as he entered, giving him a slow once-over from head-to-toe. “Well, you certainly clean up nice,” she said as he approached the counter.

“Thanks. Nina around?”

She jerked her head toward the back area. “She’s changing. She’ll be right out.”

That was promising. Evidently she was going to make a little effort for the date after all. It didn’t look like she was going to come up with an excuse, so she could take all the time she wanted. He’d waited three years for this. He could wait a little more.

“How are Jackie and the baby?” he asked.

“Beautiful. She texted me some pictures a little while ago. Do you want to see?”

He was surprised to realize he actually did.
