The knock at the door Monday afternoon made me grin. Normally, I hated any interruption when I was writing, but that didn’t include Gabi. Hiring her had worked out better than I’d ever imagined. She’d been wasted at that temp agency. She was smart, and curious, and had strong research skills. She performed every task I gave her with ease, and each week I was trusting her with more and more things. Not the least of which was my kids.

Ava and Brandon were crazy about her. Sometimes that worried me, because if she left their lives for any reason, it would hurt them terribly. It wouldn’t feel all that great for me, either. I’d grown to care about her a lot in the past month.

My jaw dropped as I opened the door. Standing there on the porch, the sunlight making her hair shine, she looked stunning. Even better than usual. I wondered if she’d had an interview or something this morning. She had on silver hoop earrings and a matching necklace. Her chocolate eyes were rimmed with thick dark lashes. And her lips, normally a soft pink, were brighter than usual.

“Uh, come in,” I said, practically stammering. She looked hot. Really hot. Her shirt was a peach color, and the scooped neckline showed the tops of her breasts. God, it made me want to bury my face in her cleavage. Her plump thighs were bare, covered by a shorter skirt than usual. It was made out of some kind of soft white material and it swirled around her thighs as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other.

Her pink toenails peeked out of sandals with a small heel on them. “You look really nice.” It was an understatement, but it was all I could manage. All the blood in my body was zooming in the opposite direction of my brain.

“Thank you.” Her voice was a bit on the shy side, which wasn’t normal. What the hell was up with her today? But whatever it was, if it made her look like this, then I approved.

Gabi stepped inside and headed to the dining room, proving that the view from behind was just as delectable as from the front. She set a hand on the back of one of the chairs and turned. Hastily, I raised my gaze to meet her eyes. “How was your weekend?”

“Good,” she said, and she asked about mine. I had the feeling that wasn’t what she truly wanted to talk to me about. “And yours?”

“Not bad. I thought Ava might be getting a cold, but she seemed fine this morning.” Shit, that was probably the least charming answer I could’ve given. But Gabi didn’t seem to be paying attention. That in itself was odd—she was crazy about the twins.

“Umm… do you mind if I do the grocery shopping tomorrow? We should be fine for dinner tonight unless you cooked over the weekend.”

“Trust me when I say I really, really didn’t.”

Her eyes met mine and she gave me a faint smile.
