JENNY WAS SCRAPING the bottom of her to do list. They’d gone to the hardware store, three thrift stores, the grocery store, dropped off dry cleaning, started laundry, hung laundry, mowed, picked up more paint samples, additional dog stuff, placed an order for the shop, and now she was scraping God-only-knew-what off the P-trap while Lucas fiddled with the upstairs bathroom faucet.

She couldn’t allow herself to sit and relax. If she did that, Lucas would hold her hand or kiss her, and her experience over the last handful of days showed her where that led.

He wanted to move more of his stuff here.

That much was obvious.

Crystal clear.

And that sent her into panic mode.

She’d wanted to know what they were doing, and he’d told her whatever she wanted. She’d been forthright that she wanted him, some sort of commitment, and he hadn’t balked. No flutter of an eyelash, a long sigh, or moment of consideration. He was just...all in.

Who did that?

Oh, that’s right.

Her.

When she made up her mind that she wanted out of her parents house, that she was done playing Mom, she’d moved her things to Walker’s little shack of a house behind his parent’s and they’d more or less married by default.

Now Lucas wanted to move his things here.

If he did, would he take over the rest of her life, too?

Would things change?

Was this all a mistake?

Had she jumped too quick, too soon?

She’d never thought beyond the first meeting. Seeing him again had become her whole focus. Apologizing, setting the world to rights. A big part of her had accepted that they were simply never going to be what they once were. She wasn’t prepared for Lucas, what having him in her life meant. She wasn’t yet totally whole herself. How could she exchange one man for another?

Dolly wandered toward her, licking Jenny’s cheek as she examined the P-trap.

It looked clear now.

She fitted the pipes back together under the kitchen sink and tightened the fastening.

Old houses were wonderful—and terrible—for all the odd jobs they provided. She’d learned to do a lot herself out of necessity, and now she enjoyed it. Throwing herself into a project meant she could think about the rest of her problems less.

Her stomach growled, reminding her that lunch had been a long time ago.

Jenny pushed to her feet and stripped off the gloves.

Lucas’ phone sat on the counter, the screen flashing.

She leaned over and glanced at the message from his mother.

Are you sure you can’t free up tonight?

Jenny frowned.

Lucas wasn’t doing anything tonight.

She swiped her finger across the screen and tapped the message, skimming the back and forth.

Mom: Got any dinner plans? We’d love to see you.

Lucas: Love to see you, too. Busy tonight. :(

Jenny scrolled up a bit more before her conscience got to her. Lucas and his mother texted regularly, which was rather adorable. Jenny had always loved Lucas’ mother and secretly wished for her as a mother-in-law instead of Walker’s mom.

She didn’t expect the Hewitt family to welcome her back with open arms.
