When she woke up, that deliciously warm feeling that stretched from her head to her toes was still there. Lightness. Giddiness. Everything. It was all there. And she couldn’t wait to see what that day would bring.

She’d promised to take care of Eliza’s place and water the plants—something she’d completely forgotten about when she was there a few days ago—so they agreed to meet up in the afternoon. Though to be honest, she easily could have had him over sooner. Like, right now. Why did she wave him off when he offered to run errands with her?

But how was she to know she’d spend the whole night dreaming about him and then the whole morning missing him? Sure, he said he was in love with her, but she’d been there before, so her heart wasn’t as willing and trusting as it could have been. And it’s better to be cautious, right?

She missed him. And the more they were together and talked, the more she could see this crazy future with him. He was making her dream of a life with him again, but this time, it was better somehow. This time, they were uncovering even more about each other than before.

She wished she could call Eliza up and tell her everything. Jane needed some girl time, but she wouldn’t call. No matter how exhilarating her life was becoming, she wasn’t willing to interrupt the newlyweds.

As she grabbed her purse and drove out of the complex, her cell phone rang. Her heart began to beat excitedly. Was it Eliza? Or better yet, Charles? It took a couple of tries to answer the phone, but it was her mom.

“Hey, what’s up?” she asked as she pushed the disappointment away.

Her mom laughed. “You sound like you’re happy. Do you have any news?”

Jane grinned and ruefully shook her head. Her mother could fish out the most hidden secrets from anyone. And the woman was completely good at reading a situation and knowing when something fabulous was going on. It was a gift Jane certainly didn’t have. “What do you mean?” The last thing she needed was her mom to find out about Charles. She’d never hear the end of it.

“What do I mean? I mean, you sound happy. Now stop being silly and tell me.”

“I’m just enjoying my break from school.”

“Mm-hmm … Your break from school that you’re spending with Charles Bingley, right?”

Jane almost swerved the car. “How do you do it?”

“Do what, dear? Know when my daughters are about to get married?” She laughed. “Call it mother’s intuition. And also, it helps that Marianne down the street came over to tell me she saw you and Charles at La Caille the other night, and wants to know if you’re back on again.”

“And how does Marianne even know Charles and I were dating in the first place? As a matter of fact, how does she even know what Charles looks like?” What in the world?

“Hush. She doesn’t. She just described him to me, and since I saw you two sneak off one after the other at the wedding, I sort of put things together.
