Chapter Nine

They began their ride home after lunch and while neither had encouraged or entertained the idea of engaging in the passion of the previous night, it was lurking in the backs of their minds.

Cassie hated to leave the big, beautiful house but was comforted by the fact that she had accomplished, business-wise, what she needed to this weekend and that she would be returning in three short weeks. As the road took them further and further away from the coast and closer to home, Cassie had a mental checklist going on in her head as to what she would need to do in order to be ready before returning.

Wishing that she had her day planner with her, she couldn’t be positive that there wasn’t going to be too much left back in Raleigh for her staff to handle. Tomorrow, she would call their waitress from Friday night and make arrangements with her and remember to touch base with her over the coming weeks.

The sound of her cell phone ringing startled her out of the peaceful, companionable silence. Looking at the phone she saw that it was her father.

“Hey, dad! How are you today?”

“Doin’ good, sweetheart. How are you feeling?”

Cassie updated him on her health while not going into details about last night’s setback. “I’ve got a follow up appointment on Wednesday but I think everything is healing as it should. Only time will tell.”

“I’m glad, Cass, I really am. I want you to never have to deal with those painful spells again.” Cassie agreed. “Hey, are you up for dinner tomorrow night?”

She sighed lightheartedly. “What am I making?”

Stephen laughed. “Actually, um…Bev would like to cook dinner for the family.” Cassie was stunned silent. While she knew that her father and Bev were going to be married, cooking had always been her responsibility and she took it seriously. “Cass? You still there?”

“What? Oh, yes, yes…I’m still here. Sorry, my mind wandered. Actually, that sounds great. Are we eating at home or at Bev’s?”

With great relief that she wasn’t upset, Stephen detailed that dinner would be at Bev’s house and promised to e-mail Cassie the direction. “So what time should I be there?” she asked.

“I don’t know what your schedule is like tomorrow, but would six work?”

“That sounds great. Should I bring anything?” she asked, hopeful that she wouldn’t totally be eliminated from the preparation of the meal.

“Actually, sweetheart, Bev is really looking forward to doing the whole meal for everyone. I think she feels a little intimidated by you and so if you could just…”

“It’s okay, dad. I get it. I am glad to come and just be a guest. I’ll see you tomorrow night at six.” When Cassie placed her phone back in her purse, she turned her head to look out the window and sighed.

“Everything okay?” Adam asked, concern lacing his voice.

Turning her head to him, she gave a small smile. “Family dinner tomorrow night at your mom’s. I’m sure you’ll get the call, too.”

He chuckled. “I doubt that.
