Robin scooped the last pile of dirt into the dust-pan and tossed it in the trash. She had no idea how this much dirt got in her house—not when she lived alone, had zero pets, and was only home one day a week—but she still loved her Sunday cleaning routine. It was her only full day home, and the band rarely had Sunday gigs. She got a delicious, leisurely start to her mornings—sleeping in, then a pot of coffee and reading news and social media. Next she’d turn on the local station for some zydeco, throw in a load of laundry, and commence a thorough cleaning of her house and fridge. Late afternoon, she’d wrap things up with a grocery stock-up run.

She loved the routine, the cleansing normalcy of it. It had become a welcome anchor to her weeks. Such a quiet breathing out compared to her days at the store. She loved her work, but there was always something to do—an errand to run, someone to call, an unexpected delivery to take care of. No two days were the same, which she absolutely loved. But it was so nice to have the one quiet day to recenter and recharge each week.

Especially this week.

She put away the dust-pan and grabbed the spray mop, starting her work near the kitchen door where dried mud tracks lingered from the rainy week. She scrubbed, trying to swipe the day before from the front of her mind.

Matt could easily say now that he was fine with not having kids. But how would he feel about that a year from now? Five years from now? She wouldn’t live a life of regret with anyone. She wouldn’t live with Dustin’s regret, and she sure as hell wouldn’t live with Matt’s. He deserved better. He deserved everything he wanted.

If she was really being honest, there would have been other reasons to split with Dustin eventually anyway. She liked him well enough, and they cared deeply about each other in some form of love…just not that fireworks display kind of love. For the first time in her life, she’d had a hint of those sparks with Matt last night.

Dang it.

The evidence was piling up. She was falling hard for Matthew Blanchard. But her feelings didn’t matter. What did matter was if this made sense for Matt.

Her phone buzzed on the kitchen counter with a text from Natalie. Don’t freak. At ER with Kel. Waiting for doctor.

Don’t freak. Don’t freak?

She shot back,
