Chapter Eleven

Ava

Ava inhaled the beautiful flowers gracing her kitchen counter. Kruz had pulled out all the stops this week in his quest to get her to say yes to dating him, and to be honest, it was working. Not that she cared about the gifts, that had nothing to do with it. The fact was, he cared enough to make the effort. No one else had before, unless the person had an angle and something to gain. He still didn’t know she was the daughter of a powerful politician embroiled in a huge scandal and one of the heirs to a multi-million-dollar corporation.

The fact she was keeping a huge secret from him wasn’t the only issue bothering her. In just a week, her attachment to Riley had grown, which probably wasn’t a good idea. When, or if, she decided to go back home, it would only create more heartbreak for the kid. It was obvious the youngster craved someone in her life in addition to her immediate family. Ava couldn’t imagine growing up without a mother to help her through the happy, and difficult, moments in life.

Could she handle taking on the role so soon in her life? Kids where the last thing on her mind. What about Kruz? Being a single father surely wasn’t number one on his lists either when he found out he was dad. His mother had shared with her his dreams of a career in engineering and design. He’d excelled at science all through high school and had numerous scholarships lined up at big-name universities but was doing the groundwork at a local tech school when Riley showed up.

Turning the vacuum off and winding up the cord, there wasn’t a speck of dust or dirt in the house left. Ava knew the hours were numbered until she’d see Kruz again. Being in this kind of situation was the last thing she’d expected to happen when moving to Coulee Bluff for the summer. It was temporary. Her eyes watered as she bent close to the flowers. Not because of the fragrance but because of what she knew she had to do. Say no to Kruz. She simply wasn’t ready for this kind of commitment.

The timer on her phone sounded. She had to meet Cassie at the Catfish at six for dinner. Picking up her keys and phone, Ave took a glance at herself in the mirror. The glow of happiness surrounding her since she’d met Kruz had disappeared. It was going to be a long couple of months as they were bound to run into each other often.

Entering the Frisky Catfish, the buzz of tourists, staff, and locals hit her immediately. It was Saturday night, but they were eating early before there’d be a line. Cassie’s blonde hair was hard to miss, not to mention, the arm she was waving wildly.

“Hey girl.” Cassie sprang up and gave her a hug. She wore a fitted yellow dress and her hair curled in waves. “Did you do anything exciting today?”

“No, just some painting.
