Chapter 9

Chase and Emma got to the city, picked out the paint and stain, and made their way back toward Arbor Shores so they could get to the barbecue on time. They had stayed at the cider mill longer than anticipated, and it was now nearly 3 p.m.

Chase’s admission at the mill had changed something between them. The awkwardness that seemed to exist earlier that morning was gone, and Emma felt closer to Chase than ever. She’d decided she’d let go of the hurt and resentment she’d held for him leaving and try to understand where he was coming from. Still, she’d never forget the hole it had left in her heart, and she’d be lying to herself if she said she didn’t fear it happening again. After finding out the way he felt about being home, she was pretty sure he wouldn’t be staying in Arbor Shores, and depending on how the reunion went with his father, he might even be gone sooner rather than later, and that scared her.

Since she was now more certain than ever that he’d be leaving again soon, she made a promise to herself that she would extinguish any flames building inside for Chase. It was unrealistic to develop feelings for someone who would be gone soon. That was a sure path to a broken heart, and one she wasn’t willing to take. Besides, she and Chase had just gotten close again, and she wasn’t going to ruin it. By the time they got back to Arbor Shores, she’d decided that “just friends” was all her and Chase could ever be.

“Do you want to stop at home and drop off this paint?” he asked as they stopped at the light on Main Street.

“Yeah, I should probably let Zeke out, too,” she said.

“Hey, I have an idea.” He looked over and smiled.

“What’s that?”

“Let’s take my motorcycle to Hunter’s. It’s a beautiful day for a bike ride. I think I saw an extra helmet in the garage you could wear.”

“That was probably mine from when my dad would take me out on his.” The memory of taking motorcycle rides with her father tore at her heart. She had loved exploring the winding country roads on the back of her dad’s Harley.

“So, what do you say?”

She didn’t have to think twice. “Sounds like fun.”
