ELEVEN

Sarah had a bounce in her step and a smile on her face as she walked from her car to Sage Rafferty’s front door for girls’ night out at Hummingbird Lake. She was gratifyingly tired, deliciously sore, and thoroughly satisfied. She’d had more sex in the past forty-eight hours than she’d had in the past decade. Hot, sweaty, earthy sex. Adult sex, not the angsty, emotional lovemaking of star-crossed teenagers. It was wonderful. He’d been wonderful, delivering the adventure he’d promised while keeping it light and fun between them, just the way she needed it. Risky, perhaps, to indulge this way, since she knew her heart was vulnerable to the man, but she was determined to stick with her decision to live in the moment when it came to Cam.

Sage answered her knock, then squealed when she spied the stack of sweets Sarah had brought as her contribution to the evening’s munch-fest. “Tell me you brought brownies.”

“I brought brownies, shortbread cookies, lemon bars, and chocolate-chip cookies.”

Sage beamed and stole the top tin off Sarah’s stack. Peeking inside, she said, “It’s times like this I’m glad I’m wearing elastic-waist maternity pants.”

“And how is little Parsley Lamb?” Sarah asked, using the silly pet name she’d adopted for Sage and Colt’s unborn son.

Sage patted her tummy. “I’m beginning to think Colton Alexander is destined to be a soccer player. The kid can kick.”

Sarah remembered how it had been, recalled the first time she’d felt Lori kick. She’d been so excited and at the same time so afraid. Missing Cam. Wishing he was there to share the moment with her. Remembered loss stabbed through her. Don’t. Don’t go there. Live for the moment, Reese. She smiled at Sage and said, “I can’t wait to hold him.”

“Me, either. Now come into the kitchen and unload, then we’ll join the others outside.”

“Who beat me here?”

“Nic, Ali, and my sister are out back. Celeste had a motorcycle club meeting in Creede, so she won’t be here until later. It’s such a pretty evening that we thought we’d sit outside and watch the sunset.”

“Sounds like a plan. I think … oh, for crying out loud, Sage. Your poor dog. What is she wearing today?” Sarah clicked her tongue in disgust as she knelt to pet Sage’s Bichon Frise, Snowdrop, who toddled into the room followed by Colt’s Lab, Shadow.

“It’s her new bathing suit. Every girl should have a yellow polka-dot bikini.”

“I’m so sorry, Snowdrop. This constant humiliation is obviously your cross to bear.” Sarah gave the bigger dog some attention, too, then asked, “What is Colt doing tonight?”

“He’s actually on his way to Denver to catch an early-morning flight to Saint Louis. He has a safety presentation at a conference there tomorrow afternoon.”

“That’s the first consulting-related trip he’s taken in a while, isn’t it?”

“Yes. The man has become such a homebody. It’s the last one he’s making until after the baby is born, too.”

“She says smugly,” Sarah drawled.

Sage laughed and set about adding a selection of Sarah’s sweets to a tray with veggies and dips, which she then carried to the back door.
