Adam wondered if he’d been too impulsive about hiring Lucy full-time. But it wasn’t impulsive if he’d been thinking about it from the day his dad had hired her, right? Adam had been paying attention to how she interacted with customers. She was never late. She stayed past her shift most days. If she ever made a mistake, she was quick to correct it and eager to learn new things.

She was also great with the kids at story time, and that was what had solidified his decision. He just hadn’t planned on offering the position to her so quickly.

Lucy was now telling the customers who’d recently come into the store about how John Grisham used to sell books out of the trunk of his car. Adam smiled to himself. Lucy made him laugh. He felt lighter when he was around her. His problems with his sister seemed to fade away. And it was remarkable that Lucy had actually sympathized with Darci. Who would have thought?

Lucy was growing on him. He could admit that he’d been attracted to her ever since he met her, but he valued her as an employee and didn’t want to mess up the good atmosphere of their working relationship by doing something as dumb as asking her out. Although he wanted to. Very much. She might have a boyfriend, but he sort of doubted it. Didn’t most women who were in relationships talk about their boyfriends? Maybe not to their bosses, but surely she would have said something.

Yet . . . he’d been working with her for weeks, and she’d only told him today that she had two siblings.

The phone rang again, pulling Adam from his thoughts. He answered it and was pleased to talk to the woman who was calling with questions about story time. “Only on Saturday mornings?” she said. “Oh, that’s too bad. My son is in Tae Kwon Do every Saturday morning. If you ever do a weekday evening, I’d love to know about it.”

“Sure,” Adam said. “Can I get your contact information, and if we start one up, I’ll let you know.” When he hung up, more marketing ideas were plaguing him. He’d wanted to sell e-readers in the store. He couldn’t make the markup high because then customers would just buy them online, but he could offer gift-wrapping and maybe an additional discount on other things in the store if they bought an e-reader. He also wouldn’t mind expanding the coffee bar idea that they’d done with story time.

The young couple approached the register, carrying Variant by Robison Wells.

“Great book,” Adam said.

“You’ve read it, too?” the young woman asked. “Lucy told us it’s great.”

Adam’s gaze connected with Lucy’s from where she was standing across the store. She smiled at him, then turned away. Adam’s heart did a little jump.

“It’s great to come to a store where the employees actually read,” the young woman said with a laugh.

Adam smiled. “My dad started this business years ago, and he always insisted that I read at least two books a month.
