CHAPTER SIX

Andie

So it was Drew doing all those nice things for me anonymously. I grilled the waitresses at Millie’s about who’d left the instructions, and they didn’t know. I grilled the baristas at By the Cup, and they didn’t know either. Some part of me knew, though.

I don’t have any reason to trust him . . . other than the fact that he really has come back home for good, and he really is going to stay and run Seaforth’s Auto. Danny Adams’s mom told my mom at church that Drew was having a lot of work done at the auto shop, getting it nice again, and I appreciate that. I don’t think he’d be putting effort into it if he was just going to do a half-ass job at it.

And he’s left me alone while he was doing all these nice things, too. Nobody up in my face.

Which was probably good, because if he was up in my face, I’d probably be trying to set world records for kissing, in my enthusiasm for his technique. The man can kiss, I’ll give him that.

I whisk around the kitchen, cleaning up the day’s candy-making activities and getting things set for tomorrow. I put the flowers in a container and set them in the window, so I can look at them at work. Then I close out the register and the credit card machine, and Drew lounges at one of the little tables, eating his sucker and again not getting in my face. I don’t like people in my face when I’m counting money. I get the deposit ready, and then I wash my hands and pick up my tote purse. I don’t even look in the mirror, because if he wants to take me out to dinner, he can do it whether I look end-of-day mussed or not.

“I’m set to go,” I announce. “We have to go out the back.”

He nods, and looks for a place to put his half-eaten sucker. It’s all melted down on one side where he’s been licking it, and I have to stop myself thinking of his tongue.

“Here,” I say, and offer a clean piece of plastic food wrap. “Save the rest for later. You’ve probably ruined your dinner by now anyway.”

“Thanks,” he says, wrapping the sucker up. “No, I’ve been working all day. I’m starving. I could seriously murder some bacon and waffles. Or Millie’s meatloaf.”

“Oh.” I take another look at him. I’d been so caught up in watching his mouth, I’d forgotten to look at the rest of him.

But damn, he looks good. His dark jeans fit him really well, clinging to thighs and hips and ass. He’s wearing what looks like a clean shirt; it’s white with green stripes and I’m pretty sure I’d see grease stains on it if he’d worn it at work. Besides, I think Seaforth’s has always used blue work shirts with the name on the pocket.

“I just can’t resist little bites of sweet stuff,” he says, his eyes flirty.
