The last thing Kade wanted to do was rattle his new friend—this amazing, intriguing, beautiful woman. And she had the playfulness of a child at times, like when she talked about the snowmen, her face aglow with memories. She is something. But Kade knew he’d need to go easy with any comments or looks that might hint at what a wonderful person he thought she was. He was having trouble, though. This woman was stirring things in him that he didn’t quite recognize. In his world, it would only be natural to act on such thoughts, or at least voice them. But this woman’s goodness was so real, and Kade knew he would never disrespect her in any way.

“Are you hungry?” she asked Kade. “I can hear poor Tyler’s tummy growling.”

“Tyler’s hungry,” Tyler said, without looking up from his current project—more circles.

Kade glanced at his watch and couldn’t believe it was nearing lunchtime. When he’d sensed that the conversation about the status of their friendship made Sadie uncomfortable, he had changed the subject. Her eyes shone with wonder when Kade told her about some of his travels around the world.

His expression stilled and grew serious. “You know, I’m worried that we might be wearing out our welcome.” He sure hoped not, though.

Sadie nodded toward the window. “If you would rather go out into this weather instead of having peanut butter spread on homemade bread, that’s fine with me.” She grinned.

One minute, she seemed nervous as a cat. The next minute, she was playful and almost . . . flirty. Mixed signals for sure. “I think Tyler and I would much rather stay and have a sandwich with you, as opposed to going out into that.” He pointed toward the window. “Besides, I don’t think I’ve had a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich since I was a kid. And even then, it wasn’t very often.”

Sadie stood up, smoothed the wrinkles from her apron, and said, “Actually this peanut butter spread is different from the peanut butter in jars that the Englisch use. And we like to put cheese spread on our bread and then top it with the peanut spread, but if you’d like—”

“No, no.” Kade stood up. “We’ll have whatever you’re having. Sounds great.”

Kade followed her into the kitchen. “Can I help?”

“No, it’s fine. You can play with Tyler while I get things ready.” She walked toward the cabinet and pulled out a jar of peanut spread, then a jar of cheese spread. Kade plopped himself down on the bench in the kitchen.

“So, it’s homemade bread, topped with cheese spread, and then topped with peanut butter spread?” he asked.

“Ya. We serve this after Sunday church service, but I eat it sometimes for lunch.” She twisted the lid on the peanut spread and placed it on the counter, but the lid on the cheese spread wasn’t budging. After banging the edge on the countertop, she tried again.

Kade was on his feet and standing next to her right away. “Here, let me,” he offered. The lid unwound with ease, and Kade handed it back to her, but he was in no hurry to leave her side.
