Cara stood back and watched the exchange. Neither one of them would notice if she slipped out, at least not until Officer Waters was notified that her monitor had gone off again. She was shocked to see Leah acting all domestic and even more surprised to see her graciously serving the nice, polite officer dinner and offering him a beverage. She wondered what would happen when he found out dinner at Leah’s usually consisted of a grilled cheese sandwich and a bottle of beer.

Cara also surmised by all the flirty interaction going on at her dining table that she had been wrong about a relationship growing between Brett and Leah. That realization made Cara a little sad. She truly felt they were made for each other.

As the two continued to make goo-goo eyes at each other, Cara went into the kitchen and grabbed three mugs out of the cabinet. She found a trivet and took the pot of freshly brewed coffee and placed it in front of Leah. When she went to retrieve the sugar and cream, she pulled the pie out of the oven and placed it on the counter to cool.

A moment later there was a knock on the door, and Cara had a feeling Mrs. Grimes could no longer contain her curiosity, and had come to find out why a strange car was parked out front. She opened the door and found her tool-man, Tanner Reed, looking every ounce like the hard working maintenance man who first caught her eye. Despite the grungy white t-shirt and muddy jeans, he still looked awfully attractive. “Hey there,” she said warmly. “Would you like some dinner?”

Tanner ignored her question and kicked his head towards the policeman. “Is everything okay?”

Cara grabbed his arm and pulled him inside. “Yes, I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to drink alcohol while wearing my new accessory. My monitor went off. Officer Waters came to investigate.” She leaned in and whispered, “He’s letting me off with a warning.”

Nate turned around. When he saw Tanner, he smiled and walked towards him with his hand extended. “Let me shake the hand of the man who was able to shut Duncan Alexander up.”

Tanner laughed and held up his bruised knuckles. “Thanks, it felt pretty good until just after I connected.”

They fell into an easy going guy exchange, as they discussed the finer points of punching someone without hurting yourself. The two men sat at the table and allowed Cara and Leah to wait on them.

Cara brought Tanner a bowl of soup.

Leah shared what was left of the French bread.

Cara handed Tanner a beer while Leah refilled Nate’s coffee mug.

Cara cut the pumpkin pie into four pieces as Leah came around the counter and stood beside her.

Leah glared at the men and sighed, “Let the romance end and the bro-mance begin.” She turned and focused a glare on Cara. “I can’t compete with knocking Duncan’s lights out. Why did you have to let him in? I was getting ready to turn on my best moves.
