Tall condominiums flanked either side of Nash as he pulled his truck into a parking spot along the street. No wonder everyone drove small, zippy cars. It also let them fit into the ancient parking decks in downtown Atlanta. The ones that his truck couldn’t possibly fit into without a prayer and some major modifications. He could have planned a little better. Driving to Atlanta on a whim didn’t give him a chance to ask Lexi about the parking situation at her condo.

He jogged across the street, taking the stairs two at a time to the front entrance. He hoped Lexi wouldn’t be too mad he showed up unannounced. Her text this morning that she’d be at her condo all day had been the catalyst to send him running to Atlanta. Dewey would be on the farm today, giving Nash the day off. That also meant Dewey would stop by his mom’s house and get himself invited to supper.

In the past few conversations, Lexi avoided all reference to their new status. Their uncommitted, temporary dating status without the ability to go out on a date in public to make sure her boss remained in the dark. One thing that pushed him to make the drive to the city was the elusive kiss they’d yet to share.

Nash’s boots echoed on the tiles of the quiet entryway. More than a few people passing by gave him a curious look. He’d handled it before in Jacksonville with Catherine like a guy from the country belonged in a zoo or something. He would suffer through it for the time being in Atlanta.

After locating her door on the fourth floor, he knocked twice before he heard a muffled, “Who is it?”

“Nash.” The silence stretched longer than he’d expected. Showing up without an invitation always ran the risk that she’d refuse to see him, but after she’d shown up at his house, he figured they’d gotten over that.

The door crept open. He could see the fever in her eyes. “Poor baby, I got you sick, didn’t I?”

She sniffed and nodded. “Yup. Sorry, you came all the way to Atlanta, but—”

“Here.” He held out flowers. “Instead of surprise flowers, these are now Get Well Soon flowers. Why didn’t you tell me yesterday when we talked? Or this morning when I texted you. I could have brought you soup. My mom makes great soup.”

“I didn’t want you to feel bad for getting me sick, and Juliana said she’d bring some soup by later. Thank you for the flowers.”

He made a big deal about trying to see into her condo. He did not want to be turned away at the door. Sick or not, he wanted to see her. “I’ve always wanted to see a fancy condo in Atlanta, mind if I come in and snoop around?”

A weak smile ghosted across her lips. “I suppose. If you get sick again, it’s not my fault.”

“If I tell you I don’t care about getting sick, will you give me a kiss?”

She rolled her eyes.
