Chapter Ten

The month of January passed in a blur of happiness for Burke. Dani and her family constantly amazed him. They had promised him a second chance, and they delivered. There had been no snide remarks about what he had done and no sly innuendoes that he owed them for the hurt he had caused.

He had returned to the O’Rourke house the next morning with the intention of taking Dani out to breakfast at Jessie’s Diner. Instead, he had eaten bacon, eggs, and homemade biscuits, all cooked to perfection by Dani. Later that day, he had joined the family as they dismantled the Christmas tree. To his delight, taking down the tree was as enjoyable as erecting it had been.

It was both fascinating and amusing to watch the family interacting with one another. Dani bossed the boys around, directing them on what to put where and admonishing them to be careful. Patrick and Shamus just rolled their eyes and laughed while carrying out their assigned roles. It quickly became obvious that the good-natured teasing and taunting were as much a part of the yearly ritual as the packing away of the decorations was. Burke found that he laughed along with them as they removed ornaments and wrapped them under Dani’s watchful eyes.

While Patrick dragged the tree out to the curb for the town council to pick up later in the week for recycling, he and Shamus muscled the boxes back into their storage space for another year. Dani was a whirlwind of vacuuming and dusting until everything was back to normal in the living room. They’d spent the afternoon watching an old movie on the television while sneaking peaks at the various football games.

They finished the evening with a vegetable casserole and a vegetable salad. When Patrick asked if they were turning vegetarian, Dani had just laughed and said that she had recently come into a large supply of formerly frozen vegetables. They had all laughed then. No further reference was made to the disagreement between Burke and Patrick. They had all put it behind them and were ready to build on their tentative truce.

…

Since then, he had spent as much time with Dani in the last month as he could. She was back to her regular schedule of work, and he had to spend so much time every day keeping track of his investments and his money. That was a habit he wasn’t going to break. He still wanted to make the most of his money until he decided what he wanted to do next with his life.

They were learning things about each other in every moment they spent together. Couple things. He had recently discovered that Dani hated nuts of any kind, and yet she liked smooth peanut butter. She now knew that he hated nutritious cereals but had a weakness for the sugarcoated kind. For the first time in his life, Burke was actually dating. The kind of dating one usually did in high school or college, and the kind he had missed.
