Even after being in White Hemlock for a week now, I still forgot how cold it could get here in the mornings during the last bit of autumn.

I laid there for a few minutes after waking up, still thinking about the night I had with Bastian and Addy two days ago. When I finally left the warm comfort of the bed, I quickly threw on one of my sweaters and some fuzzy socks, before heading downstairs. Hannah was already awake, fully dressed, and making coffee when I made it into the kitchen.

“You’re up early,” she said, pouring me a cup and passing it to me.

I yawned loudly and looked at the clock on the wall. It was barely seven a.m. I grabbed my coffee and sat down at the table, letting the heat from the cup thaw my frozen fingers. “I don’t think I’ve slept that peaceful and hard in a long time. Usually, I’m tossing and turning, so I end up sleeping later than I want to.”

She sat across from me with a cheeky grin. When I looked at her, she tried hiding it behind her mug, but I already caught it.

“What’s that face for?” I asked accusingly.

She shrugged; the grin still not disappearing. “Oh, nothing. I just think it’s because you’ve been thinking about a certain white-haired, blue-eyed hottie next door. I don’t blame you, really.”

“I am not!” I gawked at her. “I went over there to give him brownies and ended up getting conned by a cute kid to stay for dinner; that was it. I talked more with Addy than him.”

She laughed. “Daisy, you brought him brownies. Your special homemade brownies that you only made for Matthew when you wanted to –…”

I threw my hand up, stopping that sentence before she finished it. “We are not doing this again. They were just brownies. I was being neighborly. That. Is. It. They were not the ‘I wanna get laid’ brownies.”

“Then pray tell, what is the difference if it’s the same damn recipe?” She said, throwing in a very exaggerated eye roll. We’d had this argument since the morning after that night with them.

She ended up interrogating me about what happened when I didn’t come home until late. It took a solid ten minutes to get her to calm down after I told her about our little moment on his porch. I had wanted him to kiss me so bad, but it wasn’t the right time. I was leaving and he had a daughter to think about. He shouldn’t have to worry about introducing a new woman into Addy’s life when she wasn’t even living here.

“There’s no difference, but they still weren’t for that,” I replied, crossing my arms in defiance.

“Uh huh, sure. Whatever you wanna tell yourself. You can try and deny it, but you like him. You started writing more since you met him. You can’t deny that one. Something inspired you and I believe that something is tall, silent, and sexy.”

I wasn’t about to tell
