SHILOH

“What in the world’s gotten into you?” Lacey asked the next morning. When I turned to ask what she was talking about, the concerned look on her face told me she’d been trying to catch my attention. “Did you even realize you pulled the baking powder off the shelf instead of the soda?”

I glanced down at the counter and it was definitely the soda sitting in front of me. Before I could point out her mistake, she held up a hand to silence me. “You were in your own little world so I swapped them out. Seriously, you’re not usually a space cadet.”

“Guess I’m a bit distracted today.” Distracted and counting down the minutes until I could go home for a nap. I seriously regretted not inviting Teddy in last night. A round of orgasms would have made it much easier to sleep.

Instead, every time I closed my eyes I replayed our interactions from the past week. Things had been heating up a bit more with every day we got closer to the end of the remodel. I realized that I’d been the one teasing him, testing his restraint. Brushing against him whenever I got the chance just to see how he’d react.

“Oh? Would this have anything to do with a certain handyman who’s not here for you to follow around like a puppy?” She disappeared into the walk-in before I could argue. Lacey wagged a finger at me as she came out of the cooler. “Don’t you look at me like that, Shiloh. You know I’m right. And I think it’s cute that you have a crush on him. You could certainly do worse.”

“It’s not a crush,” I protested. Because it wasn’t. It was so much worse than that.

If it was just a crush, I wouldn’t have tossed and turned last night, wishing I’d invited Teddy into my house so we could pick up where I’d cockblocked us the first time he came over for dinner.

“Interesting.” Lacey hummed as she sliced tomatoes for her catering order.

“What’s interesting?” After being called out for almost completely screwing up a recipe I made three days a week, I double checked every container before measuring and and pouring the dry ingredients into a bowl.

“You say it’s not a crush but you didn’t deny missing him being here during the day.”

Shit. She was right. Not that I’d tell her that. “Don’t be stupid.”

“If anyone’s being stupid here, it’s not me.” She paused long enough to send three loaves of bread through the slicer. “You give everything you have to keeping this place running. I haven’t seen you so much as look at a guy since we met. I was starting to worry you were asexual and didn’t know it.”

“What makes you say that?” I gaped at the back of her head. There were times I almost regretted having my first and best friend in Harmony Grove working as my right hand at the bakery. She knew way too much about my life.

“Seriously? Until Teddy, you didn’t flirt with anyone.
