Chapter Eight

It was silly to be nervous about going to school. Sebastian had kept her mind off her first day by keeping her busy for all of Saturday. Now it was Sunday and school loomed like UFOs on the Sloan horizon.

Sebastian buzzed a kiss across her cheek. “What’s up?”

“I’m apprehensive about school tomorrow. All the kids are so much younger.”

“You’ll be fine.” Sebastian handed her a cup of coffee. “All you need to do is keep your head down and hand in your assignments. You don’t need to worry about boy-girl stuff because—newsflash—you’re taken.”

“You make it sound easy.” She remembered her school days, even if she had left early to look after her mother. “All the cliques. Navigating them is hard. Scary.”

“Don’t forget the kids in your class are new to this too.”

“But they know each other.”

“Honestly, Jen. You get on well with everyone. You won’t have any problems.”

Easy for him to say. “It’s closer to lunch time than breakfast. Should I make a bacon and egg pie?”

“Wayne has a sweet tooth. Why don’t we make some cookies too?”

“Anything to keep my mind off tomorrow.”

It was fun working with Sebastian in the kitchen. Between snatched kisses and lingering touches, they managed to make the pie and two batches of chocolate chip cookies. They ate outside on the deck and talked about her school courses and Sebastian’s and Wayne’s plans for their business. And they discussed Wayne.

“Do you think Wayne is serious about both of us?” Sebastian asked.

“I think so, but anything could happen.” Jen hesitated before deciding to go with honesty. “Things might not go as smoothly once people in the town learn we’re not sharing a house for convenience. You and I don’t have any close family left, but Wayne does even if they don’t actually live in the town.”

Some of the happiness seeped out of Sebastian, and she wished she’d kept her doubts to herself.

“Do you think Wayne’s family will put pressure on him?”

“Sebastian, once I finish school, I’m going to leave Sloan and go to university. It’s what I’ve always wanted.” She needed to keep things real.

“Yeah, I know. I admire you for going after what you want. Would you like to go for a walk?” Sebastian asked in a rapid change of subject.

“Sure.” Jen stood and took his outstretched hand.

Together they ambled from the deck, taking a path leading down to the Sloan River. The track ran through a stand of native trees, and the leaf litter crunched beneath their sandals. It was cool under the canopy, a fresh green scent tickling her nose. A respite from the summer sun.

Maybe moving in with Wayne and Sebastian wasn’t such a good idea. If she were wise she’d tell them she’d move out. She thought about that and rejected the idea immediately, because the last two days spent with Sebastian had been so much fun. The sex was incredible, and the little time she’d spent fooling around with Wayne rated as special too. They’d been friends of sort
