CHAPTER EIGHT

TIM

It wasn’t like him to be so forgetful.

Tim jogged down the path, glad for the moment. He needed the space, and it was just great to be moving. He’d have to consider when he could start running outdoors again. He should have bought a running stroller. Gus would like the rush of wind. But, he’d kept thinking, Willow would be back any second.

Now all he could think was, Don’t let Willow come back soon.

He’d spent most of the morning at the office in meetings with his teams, trying to get all the stuff that was better handled in person up to speed. But his mind kept slipping back to Nocturne Falls and Gus…and Minx.

His mind definitely kept slipping to Minx.

Her name fit her. She was small but curvy. Her thick chestnut hair was a wave of silk that made him want to tangle his hands in it. And her laugh—every time she laughed, he wanted to just bask.

What a stupid word, but it was true. She was like the sun, and her laughter and smiles and infectious happiness made him want to turn into her warmth whenever he was near her.

She was so comforting about all the things he didn’t know about Gus. He could see how funny she thought it was that he was sleeping on the floor of the nursery, but she hadn’t made him feel bad. Just sent him on his way, letting him know she had this under control now.

Of course, he wasn’t sure she was aware of just how sneaky Gus was.

He’d started reading the data on babies, and he understood that the things Gus was pulling off were way out of his capabilities.

It figured that if his nephew was a prodigy, it would be in all things troublemaking.

He’d keep an eye out while Minx got up to speed on that stuff just to make sure.

Keeping an eye on Minx—or, um, for Minx—wouldn’t be a problem.

There was no way she didn’t have to deal with her bosses constantly hitting on her. He’d told her she was safe there with them, and he wasn’t going to cross any lines. But, it was going to be hard. He wasn’t just attracted to her body—although, those compact curves were definitely an attraction—he was attracted to her. He hadn’t wanted to be around a woman this much since he’d been an even skinnier and more awkward college student.

He finally got back to his car in the lot next to the small downtown grocer. It made sense to grab some things while he was here. He headed into the store, completely unsurprised to find the first two rows were Halloween candy. Wandering around, he found the items he’d been looking for.

Minx had asked about tea that morning, and all they had was coffee, so he was going to grab a nice box of tea for her. Only, there were about four million types of tea. Who knew this? What happened to tea or coffee? Period. He struggled over what to get: black, green, white, oolong…the list went on.
