Sid pulled up to Grace's little house and she heaved out a deep breath. "I need to go in and sweep. Can you keep Chiefy out here until I have the glass picked up?"

He chuckled. "Honey, I'll go in with you. Chiefy is fine out here for a few minutes. We'll get the glass picked up and then I'll head over to my place and make sure everything is fine."

She turned her head slowly and looked into his eyes. "I'm so sorry. I didn't even think of that this morning. I apologize I've been so focused on myself and my house."

He reached over and ran the backs of his fingers across her cheek. "Honey, it's fine. You've been dealing with a lot and I'm the one who’s sorry for all of this. If it wasn't for the bikers seeing you at the Garage with me, they wouldn't be focused on you."

"You couldn't have known what they'd do."

"No. That's a fact. But, I'm sorry just the same."

Her eyes grew glassy and she blinked. "Thank you."

He slightly shook her shoulder. "That bastard never apologized to you either?"

She chuckled once, then shook her head. "No." She sniffed lightly. "I don't know why I get emotional when you treat me so nicely. It's just all these emotions keep barraging me and making me realize how much I've missed in life. How much I've wanted someone..." She looked into his eyes. "Like you."

It was his turn to have a catch in his throat. His breathing became choppy. "I've missed so much in my life too and I didn't know that until I met you."

Silence fell around them as they looked into each other’s eyes. Except for Chiefy's heavy breathing. Then she moved forward and licked Sid on the cheek. He laughed. So did Grace and their serious moment was once again broken by the pup.

He opened his door and hustled around the front of the truck to open Grace's door. The instant he opened it, her smile warmed him like standing in the sun did. She was incredible.

Reaching in, he waited for her to take his hand and help her down. He noticed her cheeks were an adorable shade of pink, and she smelled like citrus.

She pulled her keys from the little shoulder bag she carried and stepped up onto the porch. She stopped cold in front of him and he chuckled. "We've got to stop doing this."

She pointed to the porch floor. "Boot prints. Do you think the police would be able to get a good print from those?"

Sid bent to get a better view, then stood and gently pulled Grace back to him. "I don't know that they'll get a good print, but the concern here is the boot print is wet. From the wet grass. That had to have happened recently. So, let's go get in the truck and not disturb anything."

"Okay." Her voice shook and he was sorry for it. But, what if someone was lying in wait here?

Grace started back to the truck then stopped.
