CHAPTER 9

“Haven’t you ever held a knife before?” Brad took the chef knife carefully from Destiny’s outstretched hands. “You hold it by the handle, not the blade. Especially with how I keep these sharpened. You’re scaring me here.”

“I was just switching hands.” She shrugged. “I told you I don’t spend any time in the kitchen. I’m good if I have dip and water in my apartment. And typically the dips go bad because I forget to buy more chips.”

“Let’s start with the basics then.” Brad held his hand out for the cutting board. “You wash the veggies, cold water only, no soap, and then bring them over to the table. Get the big blue salad bowl out of the top cabinet too.”

She followed his instructions as he rolled his wheelchair over to the table. As she put the salad ingredients into the empty sink, she kept her head turned away as she asked. “You sure you’re up to this? It’s pretty late.”

“It’s six in the evening. If I can’t stay up long enough to teach you to make a salad, I’m getting a different doctor.” Brad left the table and wheeled over to the wine cooler. “Why don’t we have some white for dinner?”

“You shouldn’t be drinking with your medications.” She laid the cleaned vegetables on a kitchen towel on the granite countertop next to her.

“I won’t tell if you don’t.”

When she didn’t answer, Brad pulled a bottle out of the cooler and grabbed an opener from a drawer. “Fine, I’ll limit myself to three glasses. One before, one after and one during.”

“One glass. With food.” She brought the salad ingredients over to the table.

Brad uncorked the bottle. “Get us glasses.” When she didn’t move, he sighed. “Fine, one and a half glasses. Half before dinner, a glass with dinner. And I’ll eat a roll while I watch you chop these veggies.”

“It will have to do.” Destiny went to the glass cupboard and pulled out wine glasses. From the weight, they were expensive. “I hope these aren’t your good glasses. I don’t see any other wine glasses in the cabinet.”

“I don’t have good versus everyday. My mom had Sunday china and she never let us kids use it for anything but special occasions. I don’t want to be that way. I think every day is special, especially when you take the time to make the meal yourself.” Brad paused and looked up at her when she stood frozen at the edge of the counter. “What? You think I’m wrong?”

“Actually, no, I think you’re right. I just didn’t think you were so insightful.” She sat the glasses on the table. Man, the guy was getting into her head. Who knew Brad Castle could be this guy in front of her. She’d always thought he was rude, uncaring, and, she’d admit it, a bit of a jerk. The Brad she was getting to know was thoughtful, caring, and intelligent. A long way from the guy who ignored her like a household appliance a few weeks ago.
