Chapter Four

The smell of coffee tempted her from sleep and she opened her eyes to see Dalton in the open bedroom doorway, leaning against the frame, holding a cup. He smiled and held it up.

“Wake up, sleepyhead. We have a fun day planned.”

She pushed herself into a sitting position. “Fun day?”

“Yep,” he replied, walking forward to hand her the cup. “Just what the doctor ordered to shake off the remaining fear from last night.”

“And what’s that?” she asked. She took a sip of the black coffee, careful not to burn her mouth.

“We’re going to the afternoon game at Busch Stadium.”

Bellah widened her eyes. “Really? Behind home plate?”

He nodded. “So come get some breakfast and we’ll head out to enjoy the pregame show.”

Excited, she hurried out of bed and used the bathroom real quick, before following him to the kitchen. On the table were pancakes and bacon.

“I didn’t realize you could cook,” she said, sliding into a chair.

“Don’t get too excited. If it comes from a box with instructions, I can handle it. But I’m no Iron Chef.”

There was a reason why St. Louis had the best fans in the nation, and the happiness all around her helped negate the darkness from the night before. For a time, Bellah was able to put what happened behind her and simply enjoy the festivities. And sitting behind home plate to watch the game was a thrill she’d never had before. Able to see the players and hear them talk and shout was an experience every die-hard fan should experience at least once in their life.

The game went into the tenth inning before the Cardinals were able to score the winning run. She rose and gave a standing ovation to not only the winners but to the other team for a well-played game. It seemed only natural when Dalton took her hand led her from the stadium, back to the train station, to head toward his house. There was no talk about her leaving because in her mind, she already knew how the night would end.

“Would you like a beer?” he asked once they got back to his home. He opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle, holding it out to her.

“No, thanks,” she said.
