chapter 16

Saturday morning, Jane rolled her tote down the breezeway and to her car, still puzzling over last night at Jake’s. It definitely ranked at the top of her date list, hands down. But not knowing his past, or the reason he wouldn’t share it, was killing her. Welcome back to the world of dating.

She opened the rear door of the Blazer and lifted the tote inside, reminding herself to run by the store for tape runners before going to Mac’s. Thank heaven the Sisters were getting together to scrapbook. Maybe if she told them everything Jake had said, they could guess what he was holding back.

Her phone vibrated as she pulled out of the parking lot.

“Jane Sandburg.”

“Hi, Jane darling, it’s Sonya.” Jane rolled her eyes and tried not to panic. Between working on her ideas for Sisters, Ink and lost hours daydreaming about Jake, Sonya’s project had taken a back burner.

She assured the heiress that the fund-raiser planning was on schedule and talked through her ideas for table decorations and entertainment. Flipping the phone closed as she pulled into the parking lot, Jane made a mental note to get some work done on Sonya’s event.

She was still sorting through ideas in her mind as she walked through the automatic doors of the store and nearly fell over a shopping cart.

“Excuse me, I’m so sorry. I didn’t see y—Jane?”

She’d know that voice anywhere. What woman wouldn’t know the voice of the man whose last name she had for two years?

“Bill! Hi. Fancy meeting you here.” Seeing his familiar face brought a rush of nostalgia she didn’t want to think about.

“Yeah, what are the odds? How have you been?”

“Oh, good, good. And you?”

His voice was the same. He was even wearing a shirt she’d gotten him their last Christmas together. “I’m okay. How’s Wilson?”

“He’s fine. Look, I’d love to talk, but I’m in a rush, as usual.” She turned to go, desperate to escape.

“Oh, okay. It was good to see you.”

“You too. Bye now.”

Of all the stores in all of Nashville, you have to walk into the one your ex-husband visits. Smart move, Jane. She berated herself all the way to the office supply section, through the check-out counter, back into the Blazer, and down the road to Mac’s house.

By the time she arrived, Jane was certain that her subconscious had sought Bill out to make her feel guilty about a superb date with Jake.

She knocked on Mac’s door and went inside. “Mac, girls, I’m here,” she called out.

“In the kitchen.” Mac yelled back.

Jane made her way through the living room, taking in the smell of chocolate in the air.

“Do I smell something yummy?” She parked her tote at the base of the stairs and sat down at the kitchen table.

“Mac made fudge.” Mari cut a piece from the dark slab in the center of the table. “And it’s heavenly.”

“Thank goodness. I’m in bad need of chocolate right now.”

Jane cut herself a generous helping.

“Bad need?” Lydia pushed an empty glass and the gallon of milk toward Jane’s end of the table.
