I sighed. “Tyler, in any other situation, I’d love it. You know, to go on a date with you.”

“Ah,” he said flatly.

“I just—it’s not what you think, okay? It’s not like there’s someone else. I mean, I have a hard time just finding time for myself. Much less someone else.”

“I can only imagine.”

“And I don’t—I haven’t—” I sighed, trying to collect my thoughts.

“Take your time,” Tyler said. “It’s okay.”

I snickered. “You’re so kind. And very handsome.”

“Well, thank you.”

“I just—I’m not in a position where I can casually date someone, you know?”

“You’re looking to settle down?”

“Not even that, I don’t think. I mean, I haven’t even so much as entertained the idea of a date since Austin was born. And ushering a child into someone else’s life is a lot to ask of someone I’ve only just met, you know? But my son is part of me. An extension of me. And he isn’t going anywhere, you know?”

“Of course, I know. Did you think I didn’t?”

She shook her head. “It’s not like that. It’s not you. I swear. But, I mean, unless you can accept that Austin is my priority—always—I can’t be comfortable dating you. Not even casually.”

I nodded. “I understand.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Why? The store’s closed tomorrow. I’m coming to pick you and Austin up at eleven. If that’s all right.”

I blinked. “What?”

“We aren’t open on Sundays. Is eleven thirty better?”

“Both of us?”

“Yes.”

“Me and my son?”

“Unless you have another child I don’t know about.”

“No! I don’t.”

He grinned. “So eleven thirty, then?”

“Eleven is fine.”

He smiled. “Good.”
