Chapter Ten

BULLET WAS QUICKLY coming to believe that Finlay Wilson was truly capable of magic. All she needed was a cell phone, a big-ass shopping cart, and a fully functioning kitchen. She’d flicked and touched and navigated her way through so many websites he got dizzy watching her. Then she infiltrated the grocery store like an army of ten, buying all new cookware to be sure they were allergen free, checking ingredients and prices and consulting her phone as if it were a mandate from the president himself. He hadn’t even known there was such thing as rice milk. After a trip to the organic market and another to the bookstore, because she needed to study up for Sarah, they finally landed back at her place with eight grocery bags and a fire in her belly. She scrubbed her counters just in case, slowing down only long enough to read the article about the accident before setting it aside and getting to work. She was on a bighearted mission, creating a notebook with three weeks’ worth of recipes for the Beckleys, and Bullet was falling harder for her by the minute.

She hustled around the kitchen like she was on speed, looking sinfully sexy in that little green dress and lace-up boots with a pink apron over her dress that said FINLAY’S across her chest. She put Bullet to work cutting up chicken and vegetables while she filled a Crock-Pot with meat, onions, brown sugar, and other seasonings.

“What’s your plan here, Fin?” he asked as she moved from the Crock-Pot to mashing up bananas. “I figured we’d whip up a few sandwiches and dinner for tonight, then bring a few more tomorrow…”

She scrunched up her face like he’d insulted her. “Are you kidding? Sarah is sitting in the hospital with her entire family in various states of peril. She needs comfort food, and lots of it. And she’s pregnant. How could you leave out that little detail?”

“I didn’t notice last night. I was too focused on trying to calm her down. I figured she was just pudgy until you said something about her baby.”

Finlay leaned her hip against the counter, studying him for a long moment. “You also didn’t tell me the accident was so hellacious, or that you were interviewed by a reporter.”

“Every accident is hellacious, and I wasn’t interviewed.”

“They quoted you in the paper. The writer’s name was Walt Norsden.”

“Walt? He was the dorky guy in the waiting room annoying me while I was with Sarah. He kept getting in our faces, and I finally told him to bug off or I’d break his legs.”

“Bullet.” She laughed. “That explains why he said tensions were running hot.”

“It’s all media hype, lollipop. The article is bullshit put out there to sell papers.”

She took the knife from his hand and wound her arms around his middle, gazing up at him with a sugary-sweet smile. “Or maybe it’s community reporting to keep residents in-the-know about local happenings so they can come together and help.
