Chapter 10

Colt had left me with a mind filled with questions after he’d dropped me off last night. I had to admit when we first arrived at what could only be described as a very romantic restaurant, my thoughts of where and how the night would end were vastly different than how the night had actually ended. When I’d first asked Colt to accompany me to Florida to stay in a condo on the beach with me, my only thought had been about the immediate future and my desire to explore an intimate relationship with the man I knew I could easily grow to love. What came after had never entered my mind, and the idea of whether we’d marry and have children together hadn’t even been a blip on my radar. Perhaps Colt was right to consider such things. The two of us had developed an epic friendship, and that friendship, I realized, was as important to me as it was to him. How would I feel about a future that included helping him raise his niece and nephew, knowing that the two of us would never have children together? My initial reaction was that a future that looked like the one he’d described would be fine with me, but would it really? I guess in the interest of our friendship, I needed to be really sure.

“Good morning, everyone,” I said to the group who’d gathered for breakfast. I looked toward Annabelle. “How was Hannah’s party?”

“So fun.” She grinned. “David and Barbara are going to take Hannah and me to Bar Harbor today. We’re going to have lunch, and Hannah is going to spend her birthday money.”

“That sounds like a wonderful plan” I glanced toward the far end of the table where David and Barbara were sitting. “It’s a beautiful day to do some window shopping, and Bar Harbor is a perfect place to spend time near the water and explore. There are some wonderful restaurants as well.” I looked toward Austin, who was sitting between Amy and Mylie. “How goes the house hunt?”

“I looked at the condos you told me about near the school, and they have a one-bedroom opening up at the end of the month. I think it will work out perfectly if I get the job.”

“When are you supposed to hear?” I asked.

“They said next week. I’m hoping I’ll hear something on Monday. If I am going to move to Holiday Bay, I have a lot to do before the school year starts. If I don’t get the job, then I need to know that as well so I can keep looking.”

“Waiting is the hardest part,” I agreed. “Hopefully, the hiring committee knows that and won’t keep you and the other applicants hanging too long. In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying your visit with us.”

“Very much. It’s really beautiful here.”

I noticed that Jason Rivers, the man who was in town to settle his aunt’s estate, was not at the table, nor was our mystery guest, Rena.
