Still, she had to do something, alone in her narrow bed that Tuesday night. After unloading the groceries and debating the best method of defrosting the turkey, theyâd moved Annieâs clothes into Mattâs room and artfully arranged her toiletries on the bow-fronted dresser, scattering a few items in the bathroom medicine chest.
Sheâd stripped and made the bed in the other bedroom and set out towels for the guests. Sheâd pretended not to notice when Matt changed the sheets on his bed, although theyâd been fresh two days ago.
Tomorrow, theyâd start baking and assembling the side dishes for Thursdayâs feast. Tomorrow, Mattâs brothers would arrive.
Tomorrow night, if he gave her the chance, sheâd begin to teach Matt about feelingsâwithout the words ânormalâ communication required. If Matt was willing, theyâd explore ways to express what she wanted to say, what she couldnât put into words yet. Touch, for example...
Now, however, stillness surrounded her. The house was settling for the night with a few creaks, as it had for the past seventy or so yearsâand Annie had nothing to occupy her mind but vague, heated images of tomorrow night.
She refused to dwell on the possibility that Matt might reject her attempt to redefine her marital status.
Annie smiled at the ceiling, recalling Dr. Staffordâs praise. An excellent student.
Now, if she could translate her hard-won book learning into true skill as a social worker...
Was she actually going to have a dream come true? No, not just a dream, she told the silly self still mooning over the cowboy down the hall. The dream. The one that gave her everything she wanted: stability, validation, security.
What about navy eyes, broad shoulders, a first-class male arousal...?
Well, almost everything.
Just before Annie drifted to sleep in Mattâs old twin bed, she remembered a favor she wanted to ask him.
