Chapter Twelve

Keira

“Night, Mom!”

“Night, babe.” She kissed her daughter’s cheek before settling into the couch in her living room.

Flipping channels on the TV, she settled in on the Food Network, not really watching. All she could do was replay the conversation she had accidently overheard. Was he playing house? Had she heard things out of context? Was she nothing but trouble for him?

They had been inseparable this last week. After talking to Megan and seeing Megan’s enthusiasm at having Rex around, she’d let herself fall into a rainbow-filled, happy cloud. Maybe she had let things move too far, too fast, but it hadn’t only been her diving into things. He had been right next to her. Calling, texting, taking her to lunch or coffee. Going for walks on her break if he was in town.

Coming home that first night she’d been stuck working late, he’d taken her by total surprise.

She had been sure she was going to have to nuke something for Megan because she didn’t have the energy for anything more after back-to-back appointments and having picked the wrong shoes to wear while on her feet all day. Instead, she’d stepped into a home filled with Rex’s voice rumbling a funny story and the girls bursting into giggles, all while the house smelled of delicious, grilled steaks.

It had been one of the sweetest, most caring things anyone, especially a man, had ever done for her. And then he did it again two days later when she had a last minute appointment she couldn’t say no to. Arriving home that night was just as beautiful as the first time he’d cooked. She knew standing at the doorway of her kitchen and watching the way he was not only with his niece but with her daughter, she would never take him or the things he did for her for granted.

But from the conversation she had heard and the tension that had filled his office, she was almost sure her rainbow-filled, happy cloud was about to burst.

Maybe they needed to take a step back? Maybe she brought too much into his life. He did have a stressful job, and if the stack of papers on his desk said anything, it was that he had not been focused on his job during the last week. He’d been busy with her and Meg. The town needed him and he needed the small town. He liked what he did. What he did was important.

She should call him and put a stop to things between them. Maybe a break to cool things down, get their heads on straight, and go from there. The thought made her heart ache.

She liked her rainbow-filled, happy cloud.

Looking at her phone in her hand, she picked it up, typed out a text, and stared at it. Her thumbs hovering over ‘send’ then moving to ‘delete’. Pressing her lips together, she scrolled through her contacts list until she reached his number and without a second to think it over, she called. She couldn’t text him like some silly, little girl.
