Chapter Seven

Amy Young

The warmth from Florida’s sun danced up Amy’s arm as shadows cast from the palms outside onto the picturesque window. The Blackwood’s property was beyond decadent. The industrial-sized kitchen had called to her earlier, comforting her anxiousness. She’d wanted to whip up a special treat for the family before they arrived.

Amy hadn’t been back to her bakery. Sage had convinced her to take a much-needed break last week. Jessica had kept her informed of everything happening and ran the cafe as well as she did. Amy contemplated talking to her about managing the Lakeview cafe, especially now that she had decided on a property on the Gulf of Mexico.

She hadn’t exactly completely relaxed this week, more like a splash here and there. Amy had searched the coastal beachfront scouring for properties and the ideal location for The Purple PolkaDot 2, and just like her happenstance with Tanner, the location had fallen into her lap. Thrilled and beyond excited, she couldn’t wait to start. It was the perfect spot to set up shop. Her place would be surrounded by other specialty shops that beckon residents as well as tourists to come on in and grab a chair.

Sage and her entourage were due to arrive at any minute. They had planned to spend the weekend at the beach house as well. Sage had called earlier in the week to give her a heads up that even Oliver and Fallyn would be flying in. It would be nonstop chaos with the families converging.

Beep. Amy heard the chime go off she had set—the brownies were done. Grabbing the insulated gloves off the counter, she opened the oven and placed the delicious treat on the counter to cool.

A loud bark from a rather large canine and a child’s squeal were the only warning signs before the lounging area in front of the kitchen’s island that had been empty was filled.

Let the craziness begin.

Mind boggling how Sage and Lukas were even parents.

Shouting hello, she quickly shut the top oven and opened the bottom cavity to remove the second pan of brownies that was sure to be devoured by the family, especially the little ones. Chocolate is a universal pleasure for all ages.

An entirely pleasant sensation raced up Amy’s spine. She tightened her grip on the oblong pan. Looking up, she searched the crowded room. She wasn’t sure exactly what she was trying to locate. Her body sensed him before her eyes found him.

Tanner.

Her belly flipped, and her heart raced, dragging those quirky emotions forward at the vision of the man before her. Simply put, he was as delicious as her three-layered chocolate supreme cake. She had missed him so badly the last seven days. The time away from him along with Sage’s daily gal talk had solidified her feelings. She wanted more than one night with Tanner. She wanted him beside her.

He didn’t try to speak to her or get close. He just stood there looking his fill as chaos erupted around them. No words were exchanged, but so much was communicated in those few moments between them.
