Chapter Thirteen

Sydney

Ryker leaving as soon as we were done didn’t bother me. I knew this wasn’t serious.

And yet, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if it was serious. I could cook for him more often, and we could fool around like that as much as we wanted.

We could really have sex. A lot of it. And it would be good.

No, that was a dangerous line of thinking. I didn’t need to start on that path, not when I’d been single for less than a month.

I left a little early for work. I wanted to take a minute to stop at Bakeology, treat myself to breakfast and coffee. And I wanted a second to chat with Kenzie. I didn’t think she’d mind. She’d always done her best to be available to me, and I didn’t plan to keep her long.

And I didn’t want to tell her about the night before in texts. That would be too much, and I felt like we needed some expression and inflection for this one.

I drove down the street, slowing as I passed No Regrets. Maybe, after I talked to Kenzie, I’d have time to swing by. Ryker deserved a real thank you for last night.

Maybe we could make plans again. Maybe we could hook up again very, very soon. Tonight would work for me.

I cut my thoughts off there and shook my head. No. That was too much, too soon, and I needed to make sure I didn’t look desperate.

Even if I was desperate.

And anyway, he hadn’t left a note or his number or anything.

Maybe he didn’t want me. I mean, I did come with a lot of baggage, and he was a player.

I sighed, shaking my head. I kept driving, pulling into the lot outside Bakeology. I parked and, for a moment, just sat.

There was a chance that Kenzie would be very, very angry with me.

I guessed I had to risk it if I wanted to get her advice.

I took a deep breath and got out, locking the car door behind me. I opened the door to the bakery; Kenzie looked up and smiled as I came in.

“Sydney, hey!” she said cheerfully. “What can I get you?”

“Well…” I approached the case, humming as I looked. “Can I get a cranberry muffin and a hazelnut latte? And a few minutes of your time?”

Kenzie glanced around the shop, finally locking eyes with Lora.

Lora smiled and nodded. “Go on, I can handle it. Just come back if it gets busy.”

Kenzie smiled. “Thanks, Lora!”

She handed me a muffin and made a latte with expert speed. With that done, she hung her apron up and came around the counter to join me.

We moved to sit at the backmost table. It gave Kenzie a good view of the shop and also gave us a little privacy. I sipped my latte, enjoying the flavor. Perfect.

“So, what’s up?” Kenzie propped an elbow on the table, chin in her hand.

I hesitated, looking at my muffin. “Well, I went on a date last night.
