Anna replied with a hearty, “Amen.” And thank you for allowing me to spend time with Nicholas. Even if it is only temporary.

Nicholas removed his hand, and immediately she missed the feel of his strong hand covering hers. Having him here felt like home. She knew that sounded silly because this was her home, but it felt even more like home with him here.

It was something she could get used to very easily. His aunt’s comment popped into her mind, so she quickly squelched that idea. While he was here, she would enjoy his company, and yes even his kisses if he offered her more, but she knew that was as far as this would go.

“Dessert first, right?” Nicholas winked as he picked up his hot apple cider float and took a sip. Cream lined his upper lip.

Oh how she wanted to reach over and wipe the cream off with her fingertips just to feel those lips again. But the gesture was too intimate, so she fought the urge. “Um, you have some cream right above your lip.” She pointed to it as if he didn’t know where above his lip was. With a mental roll and a lowering of her eyes, she quickly settled her hand on her leg in order to keep it from wiping his mouth.

However, instead of wiping it off, he leaned toward her. “Where’s it at again? Could you show me?”

Anna’s gaze darted up to him. His playful smirk was so stinking cute. He was so stinking cute. Well, there was no way Anna would miss this opportunity to play along with him. “Right here.” She leaned toward him and just as her fingers were about to touch the spot above his lips, his hand grasped hers. He pulled her toward him and kissed her. It wasn’t a long kiss, just a quick peck. He let go of her and sat back in his chair, smiling. “Now you have cream above yours.”

Oh, so that was how he wanted to play, was it? Anna nonchalantly swiped her finger across her drink. And with a single swipe, she ran the cream down the length of his nose. She picked up her fork and took a bite of lasagna, acting as if nothing at all was amiss.

A second and a streak of cream dotted the tip of her nose, her right cheek, and then her left. She blinked, surprised he’d done that.

“Whipped cream is very becoming on you, you know. You look cuter than a Yorkshire puppy.” Nicholas took a bite of garlic cheese bread.

“’Yorkshire puppy’? My mom and dad have a Yorkie. I love Cuddles.”

“I love cuddles too.”

Anna shook her head, chuckling. “You’re incorrigible, you know that?”

“So, I’ve been told.” His handsome face showed no penance whatsoever. In fact, he looked downright adorable.

“Oh, you have, have you?”

“Yes. Multiple times by Aunt Savia.”

“I knew I liked your aunt. She has you pegged.”

“Oh, so you think you know me that well, huh?”

“I may not know you that
