How are you feeling? Everything okay?

I’m all better. Can’t wait to see you. Everything’s fine here.

If only. A growl escaped, and she tossed her phone to the bed. A little white lie so he wouldn’t worry. And why was she worried about him worrying?

Mr. March’s blatant allegation crept into her head. Was David with someone down there? Or was he merely back to avoiding her? No. She had to trust him. He’d promised her, and he’d made a deal. Wasn’t he a deal maker by trade? And he kept his word.

A door downstairs slammed closed.

Maria rose and looked out the window. A few seconds later, Mr. March’s car backed down the drive and headed toward town. Sinking back into the chair at the desk, she blew out a sigh of relief. Thank God.

What she needed now was a distraction to get her through the hours until he got home. She needed to get back into that kitchen. Churro, sweet, decadent, familiar. “Or, no…” she muttered as she opened the drawer to look for a piece of paper to make a list. Tres Leche. “O ambos.”

“No paper anywhere,” she muttered, shuffling through old folders, pencils, and odds and ends. Her hand hit the bottom and a hollow thump resounded from the tap. She lifted the box of pencils and found a shoebox.

Curiosity got the best of her and she took it out. Setting the lid aside, she found a bunch of letters. Stamped in the corner of the pretty yellow envelope was the name Colleen March, MD. His mother. Flipping through the stack, she found some open, some not. All looked crisp, almost new.

The one in her hand was open. The address on it was Middletown, Connecticut.

She pulled the small piece of paper from its confines and smoothed it out on the desk. Maybe she should feel bad about being nosy. But she didn’t. He obviously wasn’t going to share his life with her. She was here, now, with a father-in-law who thought paying her off was an acceptable answer to David’s unplanned pregnancy.

She was just done with worrying about other people’s feelings.
