CHAPTER FOURTEEN

EMILY WENT TO BED furious with herself, and though she woke up feeling the tiniest bit better, she still felt a jumble of thoughts tossing around her head. As she lay there in her queen-sized bed, Dave stretched languidly, straightening all four legs and making himself as long as possible. He took up more of the mattress than she did.

“That probably wasn’t smart of me, huh?” she asked her dog. “I mean, how hard is my head?” Glancing in his big brown eyes, she added, “Don’t answer that.”

The clock on the nightstand told her it was 6:27 a.m., which meant she had a little time before she needed to get into the shower. So she rubbed her hand along Dave’s soft belly, snuggled into the thick down comforter, and her thoughts turned back to the night before.

Watching Catherine work had been…Emily didn’t even have the words for it. Catherine hadn’t noticed her right away, so for a while, it was almost as if Emily was spying on her. (She didn’t like that descriptor, but had to admit to herself that it was somewhat accurate.) She’d spent time chatting with Ken, the middle-aged guy who’d been tending bar for nearly thirty years and really knew his stuff. He’d kept her mind from wandering into dangerous territory, though he didn’t know it, and she’d tipped him generously. Catherine was excellent at her job. Emily wasn’t sure why she’d been surprised given her own experience on her terrible blind date, but she had. The customers loved her. She laughed and joked with them—which was a side of her Emily hadn’t seen at the shelter—and many seemed to be familiar with her, which told Emily that there were customers who came back here for her. Emily wasn’t a girl who was affected one way or the other by any type of uniform, but Catherine wore her black pants, white oxford, and black waist apron with unexpected sophistication. It also didn’t hurt that the pants were snug and that Catherine had a great ass.

Emily hadn’t really thought it through as she’d driven to the restaurant. That wasn’t the way she did things. She was a spontaneous person, one who tended to leap before looking, and she suspected Catherine was exactly the opposite. She’d wanted to see Catherine last night, Catherine had other plans, Emily jumped in so she could see her anyway. Solved. Simple. It wasn’t until she’d pulled into the parking lot of Joplin’s that she had stopped for a second and wondered what exactly she was doing. Her mother would be unimpressed, to say the least. She knew that without a doubt, but also had no plans to tell her. But what if Catherine had been equally unimpressed? What if she had seen Emily sitting at the bar, stormed over, and told her to get lost? Emily had forced herself to entertain that possible scenario. The only course of action then would’ve been to leave. She’d hoped that wouldn’t happen.

It hadn’t.
