CHAPTER

SIX

The next few days flew by in a dreamlike trance. Ever since our dinner, Davis had been calling or texting me every day, sometimes with silly memes or quotes, but mostly just getting to know each other more and more. We had only worked together at the mall twice though. After one shift, he’d asked me to go and grab some hot chocolate with him. I didn’t hesitate saying yes. But after the other shift, he left right after; being evasive about something he had to do.

Of course my thoughts went straight to him having a date with another girl, which hurt me more than I’d like to admit. But we weren’t a couple, or even officially dating, so I knew it was stupid to care so much. If only I had more options in my dating life too.

I continued to receive gifts at the daycare center, daily. First it was the flowers, then a single silver charm bracelet with a Santa on it. The third was a gift certificate for a day spa and massage, and the most recent was a basket of gourmet crackers and cheeses.

Like the first, all of these gifts came with notes that weren’t signed by the sender.

“You are one lucky girl, Elin,” Mona, another daycare employee, told me as we walked into the main room together. “I’d give anything to have a secret admirer.”

I laughed and bumped shoulders with her. “You’ve been married for five years, silly!”

Mona laughed too. “I know, but would it kill him to play secret admirer? Seriously though, who do you think they’re all from?”

I’d been asking myself that all week. The only logical person I could think of was Davis, but he’d never given me any inclination it was him, and I didn’t dare ask. Plus, it was likely wishful thinking on my part. I had a few friends who may be doing something sweet for me for Christmas, but it was doubtful. Bottom line is, I just didn’t know. It could all go back to my original thinking and be a psycho serial killer.

That was the most likely answer.

“I have no idea,” I finally replied. “I haven’t dated anyone in a while, and no one is even interested as far as I know. Maybe it’s a good friend, but no one has said a thing. That’s why a part of me is convinced it’s a psychotic killer.”

That made Mona laugh a little harder. “Girl, what about Davis? You told me you’ve been talking to him every day for the past few days. My bet is on him.”

I had confided in her all about my crush on him, and our daily communications. But he’d never tried to kiss me, and he hadn’t hugged me since the night I broke down at the bistro. He would give me a few winks, and always his beautiful smile, but that was it.

“I thought about him, but I don’t think so. We’re just friends.”

She gave me a look like I was clueless. “I saw the way he was looking at you the other night at the mall when I stopped by to say hi to you.
