Chapter Thirteen

“I hope Bill or Jerry don’t come walking out here any minute. They’ve been working late every night this week when I’ve been around, so I’m a bit surprised they aren’t hanging around.” Robyn leaned back against the tree where they’d found their time capsule, and where Ben had laid out a blanket for their supper date.

“I told them to take off early because I had something important to take care of here.” He was sitting across from her with his legs sprawled out as he rested against the wall of the old garden shed.

“You remember I only have a couple more weeks now on my apartment lease until Vicki and I need to move in here. Hopefully everything will be finished on time.”

He nodded as he dug his fork into the pie that Robyn found suspiciously very much like the kind of apple pie her grandma made. He’d treated her to a delicious take-out meal of shepherd’s pie from Quinn’s restaurant and had told her he had dessert in the house. Now that she looked closer, she was certain this was one of her Gram’s pie plates.

“I see my Gram’s has been over to see you again. Or did you stop in to visit her?”

He brought his hand up to his chest and pretended to be wounded. “What makes you think I didn’t make this pie?”

She only had to raise one eyebrow before he laughed. “Yes, she stopped by earlier to bring me a pie and to pretend she was picking up her plate from the cookies she’d brought earlier in the week. I suspect she knew we had a date tonight and wanted to see what I had planned. The pie was just her excuse for coming over.”

“That doesn’t sound like something Grams would do at all.” They both broke out in laughter at the same time.

After he was finished his pie, he set the plate beside him and wiped his mouth with the paper napkin. “And, yes, I do know you need to move in here soon. That’s why I’ve made the guys stay over the weekend to work. We’ll get it all finished. I’ve already got the cabinets started so it will just be a matter of installing them once the flooring is done. And the upstairs bathroom will be getting the new tub put in next week, so that will be ready to put back together.”

She watched him as he spoke, taking in everything about him. He was so easy to just relax and be herself around, and that was something she’d never found with any of her boyfriends in the past. Simply sitting here and talking about mundane things like fixing up her run-down house was romantic with Ben.

Well, that and the fact that he’d spent the time putting little solar lights around where they were sitting under the tree and made sure they’d had the evening all to themselves. Most guys wouldn’t be bothered with any of the smaller details like that.

“I’m sorry our first date isn’t anywhere more extravagant.
