CHAPTER FIFTEEN

LAURA HAD OVERCOME many challenges in her life.

She'd made it through childhood with an uncle who only tolerated her by applying and getting accepted to a boarding school at the age of twelve. She'd paid her own way through college. She'd become a famous actress when she wasn't conventionally pretty. And she'd found fulfillment by having her own child, without a man.

She'd done it all by having a plan.

Now, for the first time in her life, Laura had no idea what to do with herself. She had no plan.

Sure, she had the basic baby stuff to attend to, the diaper changes, the feedings, the naps. But she'd already developed a routine around them and she had more time to herself than she would have imagined pre-baby. She thought about continuing the half-baked documentary she'd started around Dylan, but every time she opened her computer, she found herself unable to proceed. She couldn't make herself do it. Maybe it was because she was realizing that Dylan was right, that she and Cal were in different places right now.

Maybe it was because she'd gone a year without sex.

It was fine when she was pregnant. Though the sexy hormones were stronger back then, she got along with the help of her trusty vibrator. But now that she had seen Dylan all dressed up, she was kicking herself for tackling her in the car. She'd blundered, lost control, and she'd scared her off. It had been too soon, and Dylan had been clear with her that she wanted to take it slow. But taking it slow was turning into a slow torture for Laura.

She needed something to keep her busy.

During Aaron's early morning nap, she cruised Pinterest for some ideas. It felt so deliciously... normal. In her prior life she would never have had time for this. There was often downtime on set, but she was always learning her lines, or working on a proposal for her documentaries.

Not to mention, social media was a bit of a minefield for her. But Pinterest was different. Before long she was clicking around and saving things to her craft board like a pro. She found some ideas for Dylan's Summer Carnival. Things that would be eye-catching and intriguing. She noted all the materials needed for marble racing, a giant Jenga, and an oversized Connect Four. Oversized lawn games would be her contribution.

By midday, she felt stir-crazy. She wrapped Aaron in his sling and took him outside. She tried to visit with Colleen, but Colleen wasn't home, so she ended up tending the garden out front for the afternoon. Dylan was working, so she didn't text her until she knew her shift was over. At six PM, she sat down with a drink of lemonade and sent the message.

I want to see you. I miss you.

Dylan's return message came seconds later. You just saw me last night.

Yeah, well, that's how much I like you, she started to type. Then she erased the message and typed something else. I'm feeling stir-crazy.
