Chapter 12

Liam threw the ball as hard as he could, and Darcy and Jax flew after it. Darcy edged Jax out for the catch—she was younger and definitely had more energy of the two, but it never kept Jax from trying.

Callie and Xander were getting home from Seattle late tonight, and that would be the end of Liam’s dog watching career for now. He’d learned that although he loved playing with the dogs here and there, he definitely wasn’t in the market to get his own full-time dog to take care of.

He was in the market for a new chair, though, since Jax chewed one of his up.

His phone buzzed, and he pulled it out, surprised to see a text from Viola.

He hadn’t expected to hear from her again since she’d turned him down for the chocolate tour. Once again, he wanted to punch Past-Liam in the face for leaving Viola waiting for him on the beach.

What had he been thinking? The problem was, he hadn’t been thinking. His mind had been so focused on work that he’d had no space for anything—or anyone—else in his thoughts. Since unplugging for real—he hadn’t checked a single work-related account or device since Viola chucked his phone down the vent at the theater—it felt like the sun had finally come out over a cloudy day. He was getting more and more glimmers of the lightness he’d felt while he was in Hawaii. The bands around his chest were loosening every moment, and for the first time, he was realizing how stressed and unhappy he’d been for the last few years.

Scaffolding starts Monday, she said.

Thanks for the heads up, he replied back.

Also, is it too late to take you up on that after-hours chocolate tour?

His heart skipped. No, the offer is still good.

Good, because my grandma near about kicked me to the curb when I told her I’d said no.

It was too much to hope that her grandma, who had never met him, was in any way rooting for him. Especially if Viola told her about Hawaii. She loves chocolate?

She thanks you, whole-heartedly, for the box of chocolates.

That made him laugh out loud. Would she like to come on the tour?

Three little dots appeared, and he waited for her response.

Oh my gosh. She said her plan was to tie me up and stash me in the closet so she could go with you herself, but just coming along is better overall.

She sounds fun.

Viola sent him an eye roll emoji, followed by a heart. Just let us know when.

Let me call and set it up, and I’ll message you.

He pulled up the chocolate shop’s website right away. Apparently their day-tours were booked out for the next month, and they didn’t do after-hours tours. After asking to speak with the owner—and offering to pay double everyone’s hourly pay if they stayed late—he had a time set up Friday evening.

Grandma’s excited, she replied when he sent her the time.

And you?

I’ll have my Hershey’s in my purse.

He laughed again.
