In her car just out of sight of the cabin, Norma waited as Fritz finished the night’s skullduggery. It had been just past midnight when they secreted Kat’s Camry in the carport and now the hour was yawning toward one a.m. Norma hadn’t stayed up so late since she was a teenager.

She rolled down her car window and listened. The engine of Mark’s BMW rumbled softly in the distance for a few moments before it cut out. Fritz would be climbing from the car, shutting the door as quietly as possible, then walking the quarter-mile to where she was parked. Anticipation bubbled up inside her as she watched for him in the faint moonlight.

She heard his footsteps before she saw him. Switching on the Metro’s dome light, she waved at his silhouette. She felt goofy as a schoolgirl when he reached the car and climbed inside. A breeze had tossed his sandy brown hair and a glow of mischief lit his blue eyes. He seemed a little too thin in his mint green cashmere sweater, but her heart sang just looking at him.

A shocking impulse burst inside her, to throw her arms around him and kiss him in welcome. She discovered she’d started to lean toward him, to reach toward him. Stopping herself just in time, she dropped her hands in her lap. “Any trouble?”

“Nope.” An odd look flickered in his eyes and she suffered a bout of mortification wondering if he knew what she’d nearly done. “The cabin was dark. I think they were already asleep.”

“Good.” Not quite able to resist touching him, she gave him an awkward pat on the shoulder. “Mission accomplished, then.”

“Yeah,” he said, still with that peculiar expression on his face.

“Is something the matter?” She shouldn’t have asked; she was terrified to hear the answer.

His bright blue eyes pierced her heart. “Just not ready to go home, I guess.”

She wasn’t, either. There were plants to water and a lonely Yorkie to pick up at the pet hotel. But given the choice, she’d just as soon stay a week up here with Fritz.

The temptation to put her arms around him rose up inside her again. The wanting set off a yearning inside her, but she kept her hands to herself. Entirely inappropriate feelings for a matronly forty-eight-year-old toward a young sprout like Fritz.

But the weekend had been so much fun, first the adventure of stealing cars, then last night at the inn when they sat in the lobby and laughed over each detail of the caper. They’d both been bleary-eyed at breakfast, but when Norma had suggested they take a drive to scout out wildflowers on Mt. Ranier, Fritz was as excited as she was at the jaunt.

Now the last thing she wanted was to return to the inn and have it all end. She sighed, toying with the strap of the seat belt. “We ought to get back. Get some sleep.”

“Yeah.”

She waited for him to turn, to pull on his seat belt. Instead he kept his blue gaze fixed on her.
