“Want to grab a bite to eat before we head back to the office?” Mitch asked as they left the last job site. “It’s a little bit late, but I’m hungry.”

“Sure we can stop somewhere. Makayla told me she’d cover for me until mid-afternoon.”

Maya had thought they might be back to the office in time for her to see Gabe, but she suspected that she’d missed him. She didn’t mind going to lunch with Mitch since she’d always thought he was a nice guy, friendly and respectful.

“So, I know it’s probably not my business,” Mitch began once the waitress had taken their orders. “But are you hoping for something serious with Gabe?”

Maya felt apprehension rise within her. She looked at Mitch, seeing the sincerity in his gaze as he watched her. “I think it would be foolish of me to have that hope.”

Mitch’s brows rose slightly. “I’ll admit I’m surprised to hear you say that, but it is a relief. I mean, I love my brother with all my heart, but he’s a bit of a rolling stone. Never staying in one place for very long.” Mitch paused. “I do think meeting you has given him pause. For the first time, it seems that he’s found someone he enjoys spending time with.”

It was the confirmation that Maya needed for what she’d thought the previous night. She really hadn’t needed to hear Mitch say the words, but maybe it was a good thing that she had. It wasn’t that she would no longer spend any time with Gabe, but she would just keep in mind what she’d discovered and use it to build a wall around her heart. She couldn’t afford to let her emotions get involved with someone who had no intention of settling down. Even with her.

The thought hurt, but it also helped her to answer the question of whether she should tell him about her family and her medical history. This relationship was going to be a lighthearted, casual thing. Too bad this was her first experience with relationships and love. She really had no idea how to keep things lighthearted and casual, but she was going to have to figure that out if she was going to survive this.

It probably was a good thing that he was leaving in less than a week. Hopefully, that meant she would be able to find a way to accept that the
