Across the table from Honey, Laura smiled and handed the waitress the menu. “The Oriental Salad for me, please.”

Honey closed her own menu. “I’ll have the same. The picture looks delicious.”

“Trust me. It’s fabulous.” The young waitress smiled. “I’ll be back in a few.” She tucked both menus under her arm headed inside.

Honey looked around at the other tables on the patio, most filled with patrons, and shaded by both large umbrellas and palm trees. “It was a good idea to sit outside. It’s a perfect spot.”

Laura grinned. “I absolutely love it here. I always try to get the patio in good weather.” She paused, and in a more serious tone said, “Honey, I’m so glad you could come today. Trevor told me you’re staying in a hotel now. Is everything all right? He didn’t offend you or anything, did he?”

Honey felt her face heat and looked down. “Oh no, of course not. We get along great. He’s a fantastic host. I’m, uh, just ah...”

What should she say? That she’d had a make-out session with Laura’s son and now felt incredibly guilty about it because she was engaged to another man? She should have prepared for the question.

Honey shrugged.

Laura sighed. “I suppose you do need peace and quiet to study. I’m happy to hear the two of you parted on good terms. You know, I would love it if Trevor could find someone just like you to marry.” Laura reached forward and patted Honey’s hand.

Honey’s face started the slow burn again and she reached for her glass of water and took a drink. “Oh, ah, thanks.”

“Did I ever tell you that I was engaged to someone else before I married my husband?”

Honey shook her head and stayed silent.

Laura nodded, her brown eyes dancing. “I was. The break up wasn’t pretty, but I’ve never regretted my choice. Not the way both Trevor and Elizabeth have.”

Desperate to avoid talk of Trevor, Honey asked, “Elizabeth?”

“Yes. She’s in a tight spot right now.” She sighed again. “I just wish our kids would listen to us when it comes to choosing spouses. The number one thing you have to watch for is signs of selfishness.”

“That’s good advice.” Immediately Honey thought of Christian and the immature way he avoided her calls when he was angry, and the way he liked everything just so, all the time.

But that wasn’t selfishness. He simply lacked patience. That was something he’d improve at as he aged, and as they had children. She was sure of it.

Laura took a drink and set down her own glass. “Did I ever tell you about the volunteer work Trevor does? In the fall he puts on field trips for all the sixth-grade classes in the area. And if someone ever needs help with anything
