I was happy to get the awkwardness out of the way and feel like we were starting over again. Elijah ate three helpings of lasagna and had two big slices of pie with vanilla ice cream as well. It made my heart sing to have someone who enjoyed my food. Was I disappointed that there would not be any more sex between us? Absolutely. But it was going to make the next few weeks go by a lot easier if I wasn’t awkwardly pining for him.

We spent a couple of hours chatting and hanging out drinking beer. We talked about everything from growing up in the same small town to his sculptures and even my Grandma and Ma.

“So how did you get wrangled into cleaning out her house anyways?” I asked. “You seem like unlikely friends.”

“A while back, my dad had a health scare.” He looked out at the willow trees and took a swig of his beer before continuing. “We almost lost him. He was in the hospital and my mom was needing to be with him most of the time. I was on a trip to Japan and it took a day before I found out and then it took a while for me to get home. You’re Ma and Grandma didn’t even ask any questions. They found out what was going on and marched over to the farm and took care of it. They kept things running until I got home and kept coming back after that too so that I could spend time with my dad and take some of the pressure off my Mom. I barely even knew who they were and yet they stepped in and took care of us like we were close family.”

“He’s doing much better, thanks.” He met my eyes and smiled back. “But I told Thelma and Dianne if they ever needed anything, anything at all, I was gonna be there in a heartbeat.”

“And that’s why you didn’t hightail it out of here the moment you saw it was me.” I laughed.

“Something like that.” Something flashed behind his eyes but before I could read it, it was gone again. “Well, these mosquitoes are starting to eat us alive. What do you say we clear up?”

We hauled the remaining dishes inside and set them on the counter. I expected him to say his goodbyes there, but instead, he filled the sink with soapy water and slipped on an apron. This one was a purple and blue number with white lace trim and I had to hide a smile at the site of a big strong metal worker in my grandma’s favorite apron.

He began to wash the dishes, handing them to me to dry them and put them away. There was something so comfortable about us working together as a team to get the kitchen clean. Over the course
