After taking a last peek to be sure her black skirt and print blouse were in the proper position, Grace shifted away from her full-length mirror to lift already-dressed Sarah from her crib. But as she turned, the scent of something sweet stopped her.

Whatever it was it smelled like pure heaven.

Her mouth watered.

She grabbed Sarah and rushed down the steps. In the kitchen, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt and wearing a bib apron, stood Danny.

“What is that smell?”

He turned with a smile. “Pancakes. My one and only specialty.”

“If they taste as good as they smell, they are absolutely your specialty.”

“Oh, they do.”

The ringing endorsement—combined with the growling of Grace’s tummy—had her scampering into the dining area. She slid Sarah into her high chair and went to the kitchen to retrieve plates from the cupboard. “More stuff you learned while at school?”

He winced. “Not really. These are the only thing I can cook. Unless you count canned soup and fried eggs.”

Avoiding her eyes, he set two fluffy blueberry pancakes on each of the two plates she held. Grace took them to the table. She set her dish at the seat beside the high chair and the second across the table from her.

The night before he’d kissed her and just the memory of that brought a warm fuzzy somersault feeling to her empty tummy. She hadn’t let the kiss go too far. But there was something between them. Something special. Something sharp and sexual. It wasn’t something that would go away with the press of a button, or just because it complicated things. And today he’d made her breakfast. Though she appreciated it, she also knew she had to tread lightly. She didn’t want to get involved with him again and he was tempting her.

Danny brought the syrup to the table and sat across from her. “I think there are some things you and I need to discuss.”

Her stomach flip-flopped again. The last thing she wanted was to talk about their one-night stand. Or whatever it was that had happened between them. But disliking him hadn’t worked to keep them apart. So maybe it was best to talk?

“Okay.”

He took a breath. “All right. Here’s the deal. That kiss last night was wrong and I don’t want you to have to worry about it happening again.”

She looked across the table at him, her heart in her throat, and praying her eyes weren’t revealing the pain that brought. She also didn’t think getting involved was a good idea, but he hadn’t needed to say the words.

“The truth is I know you deserve better than me.”

Grace blinked. That wasn’t at all what she was expecting and she had absolutely no idea how to reply.

“The night we slept together, I was going through a bad time,” he said, glancing down at his pancake before catching her gaze again. “Not that that makes what happened right, but I think it might help you to understand that now that I’m past those personal problems, I can see I misjudged you and I’m sorrier than I can ever say.
