Okay? She’d said okay?

The next day, a week since she’d first stumbled headlong into her first passionate encounter with Joe, she found herself back at the diner, working vigorously, probably trying to get yesterday out of her system.

Not the sex in the rain part, though.

And not really the talking in the truck part, either.

Mainly the okay part.

What had she been thinking?

Probably that she wanted more sex and talking. But now, she couldn’t help worrying. Did this mean she…trusted him suddenly? Did it mean she was diving into a relationship with him?

No, and no, she decided, stomping her foot on the old tile floor. She’d just kind of decided, when he’d told her about Carissa, maybe he was a better person than she’d realized up to now. And that maybe it wouldn’t be awful to let herself spend some time with him.

Keep a cool head. You just said you’d see him, not have his babies.

She wasn’t even sure she wanted babies anyway. Did Joe want babies? After all, he already had Carissa—sort of. Wow, how weird to think of Joe changing diapers, cooing over some tiny baby, feeling warmly toward it.

Yikes—what was she doing thinking about babies?

What she needed to be thinking about was whipping this place into shape, once and for all. And hey, if she saw Joe another time or two over the next week while she worked on her remodeling project, no big deal. It was…an affair. Yes, an affair. That sounded very mature and cosmopolitan—and it had nothing to do with babies, either.

She looked at the plethora of paint cans around her. She’d been back to The Home Depot amid the morning drizzle. There were also painting tarps, and tape, and rollers and brushes.

And tables and chairs. She’d bitten the bullet and called the wholesale guy, and he’d delivered them less than two hours later! So there was no turning back now.

She feared her parents might have a heart attack when they found out what she was doing to the place, but she felt bizarrely energized by the project before her. She’d never really done any decorating—she’d even hired her loft out to an interior design team—but she had the wild feeling that she was onto something potentially spectacular here, something at once sophisticated yet small town, funky yet quaint. Before long, she’d have buyers begging her to sell them the place.

The cans of paint sat heaped one atop the other. To the colors she’d bought the other day, she’d now added shades of peach, mint, and lemon for the walls. Bolder shades of purple, red, fuchsia, and tangerine sat nearby, too—for the new tables and chairs, which would make much better use of the big floor area between the two rows of booths than the nothing that had always occupied it before. Some of the chairs had curlycue backs and she planned to paint each curling piece of wood a different color. She wondered if she was artistic enough to pull off simple designs on the tabletops—maybe a sun here, a moon there, or just some shapes.
