CHAPTER 15

By the end of that week, Corey realized she was falling in love with Millie. Like most love affairs, it started a bit awkwardly. Millie was hesitant and quiet, not sure how to act around Corey.

She was always asking permission before doing anything; she even asked permission before going to the bathroom. So Corey had spent much of that first day trying to make Millie relax and feel comfortable around her. Millie had no trouble feeling comfortable around Stella.

By midweek, Millie had begun to unwind a bit. When she volunteered that she loved to cook almost as much as she loved babies, Corey declared, “I hate to cook. Well . . . actually, I don’t really know how to cook. While my mother was teaching my sister to cook, my dad was teaching me how to bait hooks and clean fish.”

“Cooking’s not hard,” Millie said. “It just takes a little practice. I’ll be glad to teach you if you like. Actually, I’d love to cook for you and Stella if you’ll just tell me what you like.”

“Really? You’d cook for us?” Corey asked incredulously, and it was official: Corey was in love with Millie.

“Sure, I would. When you feel like it, why don’t we go to the grocery store and do some shopping?”

“Maybe you could go by yourself. I’ve never taken Stella out anywhere, except to the pediatrician’s office.”

Millie shook her head as though she didn’t understand. “Stella won’t break. You can take her to the grocery store.”

“I worry about her crying. You’ve heard her when she gets wound up.”

“So what? Everybody’s heard a baby crying in a grocery store. Come on, Ms. Corey, I think it’s time we went grocery shopping.”
