Chapter Eleven

Hope woke early on Sunday morning. She lay there running through the events of last night. It had been a great night. Chance’s friends were a great bunch of people and she hoped that they’d come back here often. She wanted to get to know them all, especially Renée. When they’d first met, Hope hadn’t known what to say, despite having so much she wanted to say. Renée had made it easy. She’d asked Hope if she wanted to come outside with her. They’d walked across the square and sat on a bench on Main Street for a good twenty minutes. By the time they’d gone back into the Boathouse, Hope knew she’d made a friend for life. She didn’t want Chance being with her to make him feel that he had to lose touch with Renée, especially since Renée still saw Chance as part of her family. Renée had said she hoped that maybe someday the two of them would see each other as sisters-in-law. That meant a lot and Hope loved the idea.

She smiled as she lay there thinking about Emma. She was so sweet. The others had teased her again later about her crush on Chance. The poor thing blushed like crazy, but Hope had defended her every time. At one point, Emma had told Hope that Jack’s mom had a crush on her dad. Jack had rolled his eyes and said that all the women in his life seemed to have a crush on someone. Hope had laughed along with them, but it had made her wonder if her dad might ever find love again, if he’d ever open his heart up to the possibility. She hoped he would.

“Good morning. You look happy.”

She rolled on her side and planted a kiss on Chance’s nose. He was so sexy, even when he was only half awake. “I am.”

“What are you thinking about that’s got you smiling so much?”

“Right then I was thinking about Emma and how sweet she is. I was also thinking about Jack’s mom having a crush on my dad. It makes me want to introduce them.”

Chance shook his head. “I know what you mean, but if he’s ever going to let another woman into his life, it’ll be a woman he chooses himself, and it’ll be in his own time.”

“I know. Just like you.”

Chance nodded and pulled her closer. “Exactly. I wouldn’t have thanked anyone for trying to set me up with someone.”

Hope laughed. “I don’t imagine you would. You’d probably have gone all broody and disappeared.”

“Yup. It’s easier to go dark than to stick around when people are interfering in your life—no matter how good their intentions. I feel what I feel and that doesn’t change just because someone else thinks it doesn’t make sense. No one can talk me into changing my feelings. Not even I can do that. It doesn’t work that way. Feelings change with time and by what we live through and what we learn from it.”

“I know you’re right.
