Hope the sun did its job for you, darling. Breakfast is waiting whenever you’re ready. You looked too beautiful to wake up this morning.

For the record, I was afraid of storms too as a kid. I just had to hide it. Thanks for being there last night with that storm. I forgot what it’s like to stand in the rain and count the seconds until the thunder.

I hope we get to do it again.

- Gavin

I bit my lip as I folded the note and put it to my chest.

I looked out the window and saw Gavin standing in the front yard with Jesse. Gavin held a coffee mug in his hand while Jesse sat next to him.

This life seemed so simple. Maybe not easy, but simple.

I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. I poured myself a cup of coffee.

I heard the front door open and shut.

Jesse was the first one to greet me. When the dog saw me, he let out a deep bark as his tail started to wag like crazy.

“Good morning, Jesse,” I said. “No jumping today, right?”

He came rushing forward and I patted his head.

Gavin then appeared. He quickly put his coffee cup down on the table.

“There you are,” he said. “How’d you sleep? How was the sun?”

“Bright,” I said with a grin.

There was just… this connection with Gavin. I felt my heart fluttering like my stomach.

He walked to me, slipped his hands along my sides and put me right up on the counter. I was still holding my coffee and purposely put it between us to take a drink.

“At what point do you need to tell me you have to go?” he asked.

“Why would you say that?” I asked.

“Because your phone has been beeping like crazy for the last hour.”

“Shit.”

Gavin frowned and backed up. I put the coffee down and jumped off the counter. I grabbed my phone and saw that I had lots of messages. From Andy. From Whitney. From David. My emails weren’t any better. Taking a night to myself was going to really come back and bite me in the ass.

My thumbs instantly went to work, my mind shifting back to work.

I wasn’t sure how long I stood there, head down, answering emails and texts. Making decisions. Pulling excuses out of my butt. Doing anything to keep the status quo and to keep attention away from me the best I could. The worst part of it all was that I continually said I was working something for my father.

That wasn’t true but if word got back to my father that I was back in this town, it would be good enough to make him think I was getting more information for what he wanted to do.

“Is it always like this?” Gavin asked.

I stopped and turned. I blinked. My eyes were burning. “What?”

“Your phone.”

“Always,” I said. “I should have checked things last night and early this morning.”

“But you rested instead. You enjoyed yourself. That’s important, right?”

“Of course it is.”

Gavin nodded. “Maybe I should
