Chapter Fourteen

She sat in her car staring at the front door. She knew that when Gabe visited, he often went to the kitchen door in the rear of the house but LeAnn wasn’t comfortable doing that. She didn’t know Megan well enough. Going to the kitchen door in the rear was what family did. LeAnn wasn’t certain that she qualified for that informal relationship.

As she sat there contemplating what to do, she realized that she wouldn’t feel comfortable going to the rear door with anyone in her own family. In fact, it would never even occur to her. That she even considered it with Megan probably meant something. Her hand reached for the door latch. She was out of the car a moment later.

She was only halfway to the front door when she saw it open. Megan was there, waiting for her. She was smiling. She had Aaron on her hip. His face lit up too, like he actually recognized her. LeAnn felt the knot in her stomach tighten. Was she making a mistake? LeAnn’s steps slowed.

Megan stepped out onto the porch. “What a nice surprise. I was just about to make some tea.”

LeAnn felt her heart flip. What if Megan hated her for what she was about to tell her? “Sounds nice. I can’t stay. I was just hoping…”

LeAnn was taken by surprise when she reached Megan. Aaron put his hands out toward her. Without thinking, she reached for him. He felt good in her arms. Though he didn’t look heavy, she realized that he was solid.

“Hey, there. You remember me.” LeAnn smoothed his dark hair down. So like his father and uncle. He even had the same blue eyes.

“He has a great memory.” Megan led the way into the kitchen. “I was working on dinner. Can you stay?”

“Oh, no. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be interrupting.” LeAnn could smell something before she even reached the kitchen. She pressed her lips together and began counting slowly.

Megan turned to take Aaron when they reached the kitchen table. “Here. I’ll put him in his high chair. The water is hot. I’ll just make a couple of cups. I find tea also relaxes me as I’m cooking.” She eyed LeAnn as she settled Aaron into his chair. “Do you like teaberry tea?”

“Um, I don’t know.” LeAnn wasn’t sure what to do, so she took a seat near Aaron. “I don’t think I’ve ever had any.”

“We’ll give it a try.” Megan crossed over to the sink.

LeAnn smiled at Aaron. “What did you mean? Tea also relaxes you?”

“Well, cooking relaxes me. I know that isn’t true for everyone.” Megan turned to glance at LeAnn.

LeAnn shook her head. “I never had much reason to cook. I was usually by myself. It seemed too much of an effort to cook for one.”

“I know what you mean. I was single for quite a while after Josh died.” Megan carried two cups of tea to the table. She set one in front of LeAnn then took a seat. “Are you okay?”

LeAnn wrapped her hands around the cup in front of her.
