ANITA HADN’T REALIZED SHE’D MISS Wyatt Davis so much. For the past two weeks, she and Carly had visited Mr. Davis, but never when Wyatt was there. He’d called once, about a week ago, just to say he was still waiting for the mailings to come from Nevada. They’d agreed that when it arrived, they’d set another time to get together.

Phyllis had brought up Wyatt at their shared lunches, when they were sitting on the back patio overlooking one of their gardens. But Anita maintained they were friends and that she didn’t have any extra information to offer. Besides, she wasn’t going to spill any of the thoughts circulating in her head about the man anyway.

But when the phone rang a short time after one of the lunches, she answered to hear Wyatt’s voice on the phone. She knew immediately why he’d called.

“You received records from the city office?” she asked.

“I did.” Wyatt’s voice was warm, deep, and made her stomach do a little somersault.

“Anything look interesting?”

“It’s hard to tell without making the calls,” he said. “But there’s more here than I expected.”

“Ms. Anderson really came through,” Anita mused.

He chuckled. “She really did.” He paused. “What’s your schedule like in the next few days?”

She walked over to the calendar on the wall. She knew the schedule, but looking at the date boxes with the handwritten details in them helped her focus. “Carly started in the school band and has practice three days a week after school.”

“Oh, that’s great she’s involved with band. What does she play?”

Anita smiled at his enthusiasm. “Uh, the french horn for now. It’s all new. She’s doing it with those new friends she made.”

“Were you in band?”

“No.” She laughed. “I was an art geek. What about you?”

“Uh, no musical talent for me.”

She waited, and when he didn’t continue, she said, “What did you do in high school?”

She heard his sigh on the other end. “Cross country.”

She could easily picture him running. He probably still ran. That would explain his lean physique. “Oh, do you still run?”

“I do.”

“I don’t think you could pay me to run for fun,” she said, twisting the phone cord around her fingers. “The last time I ran was for a PE class in high school.”

“You probably didn’t give it a chance,” he said. “The more you run, the more you want to do it.”

“That makes no sense.”

Wyatt laughed, warm and deep. “It’s too hard to convince someone unless they actually try it.”

Anita found herself smiling. “I hope you don’t think I’m willing to be your guinea pig, because I’m not.”

“Suit yourself.”

She was still smiling when she hung up with Wyatt. They’d agreed to meet that afternoon. Carly wouldn’t have band, so it would work out time-wise. It wasn’t that she had to be with them, but she’d be upset if she were left out. She’d asked multiple times over the past two weeks for updates.

Anita grabbed her keys and decided some grocery shopping was in order. Just in case Wyatt stayed for dinner again.
