Joshua heard the description the amazing baker gave of herself. It was wrong to eavesdrop. He really had only been looking for the bathroom to clean off as much of the dripping chocolate as possible and had headed in the direction Bill had pointed him. Hawaii. A beautiful state, a long-time favorite of his. Hearing that word come from her bedroom stopped him cold.

He needed to back away quietly and get to the kitchen again before they heard him out in the hall. At least he wasn’t the only one having his most private thoughts wandered through without his consent, though he was pretty sure Jenny’s predicament was entirely his fault, due to Lessy’s determination to couple them off into bliss and love.

When Jenny all but called herself a wallflower, Bill’s vision of traveling came to a screeching halt. He’d always gone alone, on purpose, and loved it that way. Yet he had the most vivid vision of walking along a secluded white sand beach at sunset, hand in hand with Jenny along Oahu’s North Shore, especially when the big waves were rolling in. Something about watching the power of Mother Nature was alluring to him.

If she’d never traveled there, he wanted to be the one to show off the islands to her in all their glory. He wanted to be the tour guide she’d never be able to hire, not for money, but purely because he loved every part of that state with his entire being.

“Knock-knock.” The door was open as the girls spoke quietly. He tapped the doorframe before he could stop himself. The body and mind doing their own things and not working together was going to throw Joshua into a tailspin. Both women glanced his way, and he knew it was too late to stop now. “Jenny, is there any way I could have a minute alone with you?”

Lessy’s grin was way too wide. Jenny, on the other hand, simply stared back at him, her light-brown eyes bright with so much power over him. He could almost read her soul, see how caring, kind, and soft-hearted she was, all in a look. She still hadn’t invited him across the threshold of her room, but she hadn’t said no. When Lessy darted around him, Joshua stayed near the door, not wanting to make Jenny uncomfortable.

“I know I haven’t made the best first impression on you. I wanted to apologize, to explain, to see if you could find a way to maybe forgive me for being an ass. I just have never in my life been around someone that flusters me like you do.”

She remained quiet but tilted her head, and a line appeared between her brows as if she didn’t understand, or maybe didn’t believe him. He dared to take a handful of steps into the room.

So unlike his family home, which was crisp, neutral, decorated by only the best and with no amount of money spared, Jenny’s home felt like a breath of fresh air.
