The next thing Matt knew he woke and dawn spilled light into the room. He got up, pulled on clean clothes, combed his hair and headed toward the kitchen. He brewed a pot of coffee and poured orange juice.

“Good morning,” Vivian said from the doorway.

He turned and his resolutions to avoid her smashed into oblivion. She was barefoot, her hair twisted and looped on top of her head in that casual manner she had with tendrils escaping and trailing down beside her face. She wore a red T-shirt and red shorts, and his first judgment about her legs being long, shapely, fabulous, had been right.

“Wow! You look good,” he said, unable to stop staring at her and knowing he better say something or get his wits about him or look away.

His gaze traveled up to amusement dancing in her blue eyes. “Thank you. That’s very, very nice to hear after the past nine months. Very nice,” Vivian replied.

His gaze drifted down again. Her T-shirt clung as nothing she had worn before did and outlined high, full breasts, and he could imagine their soft weight in his hands. Realizing what he was doing, he looked up. “You like red.”

She laughed. “Yes, but the reason I’m wearing so much of it is the way I packed. I didn’t pack carefully. I was in a hurry and it seems I have mostly red clothes.”

“I like them. Want orange juice?”

“Yes, please. I brought some of Mary Catherine’s books and if you’ll sit down with me a few minutes, I’ll tell you about each story.”

His pulse jumped while he fought a small inner war with himself as he thought about all his midnight resolutions to keep his distance from her. If he sat down next to her like he did last night, the same thing would probably result.

“You sit here and I’ll sit there,” she said as if she could read his thoughts. She pulled out two chairs on opposite sides of the table. She sat down and placed a book in front of the chair she had pulled out for him.

He knew he should walk right out the door, but he wasn’t going to disappoint Mary Catherine again, so he sat down where Vivian had indicated he should.

He picked up the little book and looked at pictures of bunnies and then looked over it at Vivian.

“It’s the story of Peter Rabbit.” She proceeded to tell him the story and he half listened. As she talked, she turned the pages while Matt watched her. He couldn’t get enough of looking at her. He was like a fifteen-year-old kid with raging hormones.

She closed the book and picked up another one and started to tell him the story of Little Red Riding Hood. After a moment she stopped. “What is it? I don’t have egg on my face because I haven’t eaten, but you are staring.”

His gaze met hers and he felt knotted inside. He wanted to reach for her even more than he had wanted to last night.
