Chapter Fourteen

Monday morning Robyn worked at the shop, light-hearted but missing Ben. Somehow, he’d convinced Marilee to keep Aidyn another night and drive her to school today. Or maybe it had been Marilee’s idea. Robyn wasn’t sure which but her nipples hardened and she grew wet just remembering the day spent mostly in bed with Ben. She celebrated when he called to say his furnace wouldn’t be fixed for another week or two. There was a chance they might still be at the ranch house for Christmas.

Don’t be a fool. She had a fling but it wasn’t anything more than that. A weekend of sex unlike any she had ever experienced because it involved a man she admired. A man who had taken a special place in her heart; the way he cared for his daughter, and the way he got Robyn all flustered yet made her feel like a sex goddess all at the same time. Was it a fleeting romance? Or was there something more there? She could put a stop to it now, before she was invested. Or was it already too late?

Robyn looked up as the bell tinkled above the door and a new customer entered. Tourists often stopped by to browse through the quilt store during the Christmas season so she wasn’t surprised to see a stranger. This woman looked vaguely familiar though and Robyn couldn’t put her finger on why. Tall and slender with bleached blonde hair and a heavy layer of make-up, she also had some impressive nail art going on. The woman looked more like a fashion model than a seamstress. What was she doing here?

“Can I help you?” Robyn asked, walking politely toward her.

“No.” The blonde replied. Her pursed lips tightened what could be a lovely face. “I’m just curious.”

“Do you sew? We have some fun Christmas projects on sale.” Robyn made the attempt to be friendly, although her gut told her it wouldn’t do any good.

The woman’s nostrils flared. Instead of answering, she walked to the bin holding Christmas fabrics. She lifted the edge of one bolt as though something might be hiding beneath it. “Cute,” she said.

Her tone said she didn’t mean it and Robyn wanted to escort the snobby woman out of her shop. She wouldn’t be good for business with her nose stuck in the air like that. The store’s customers were generally the friendly sort, asking each other for advice and helping pick out fabrics. “Go ahead and look around. Give me a shout if you need anything.”

Ms. Super-Model glanced at the front window and walked that way. “I’ll take that,” she said.

Robyn joined her. “Which one?” There was a multitude of items on display and she had no idea what the woman was after.

“The elves. All of them. And the table.”

“Sorry, the elves aren’t for sale. They’re only for display.”

“Nonsense. Of course, they’re for sale. Everything is for sale.” She snapped open a tiny red purse and pulled out a credit card.

Robyn had no interest in her money.
