I emerged from the shower with a solid plan. Get dressed and act like last night wasn’t the single most perfect night of my life with a woman. Make an excuse to leave for taking Ma to church. Actually, take Ma to church to pray for the return of my dark soul because somewhere in the middle of last night, Maddie McComber captured it.

Afterward, I’d spend the rest of the day at Ma’s house, locked up in her guest room away from the world, since I was momentarily homeless after moving my shit out of my recently remodeled three-bedroom apartment in the old bank building I owned.

Yep, for a guy like me who swore off any kind of relationship, I sure went to a lot of trouble this past week to move mountains for Maddie to take over my apartment. And she didn’t need to know all that or the lengths I went to so she would be safe. Her safety was important to me, and knowing she was living in my building was all the security I needed.

It was a good plan until I couldn’t find my shirt. A quick hunt, and I realized it was on Maddie’s body in the kitchen that was previously mine, where she was frying up eggs and bacon with a large side of coffee. She was humming to herself again, some cheerful tune about sunshine that I recognized.

She looked happy, and my throat tightened like a noose. I chased the stupid thought out of my head that this could be our home together. As if caging in this vision of her before I ruined it, I reached my hands to rest against the top of the doorway. “Hey Harvard.”

She turned to see me and let the savage blue waves within her eyes roll over my chest and torso like she didn’t get enough of me all night. Walking to me with a half-smile seductively curved up, she reached out and teased my stomach with her fingertips trailing along my waistband. She stopped to play with the undone top button of my jeans.

“Hey yourself,” her voice cooed, warm and sultry, daring me to put aside my plan for an asshole morning-after escape.

I stayed the course and brushed her hands away. “Hope breakfast wasn’t too much trouble because I promised Ma I’d take her to church this morning. I gotta run.”

Her crestfallen face didn’t break my heart one bit. It shattered it completely. She pulled away and then took the pan off the stove. “Oh, okay. Sure. But, we haven’t talked about the money. I need to know what I owe you, Daniel. You’ve done so much, and I don’t know how, but somehow I’ll pay you back.”

“You just did, last night. Thanks. Now give me back my shirt.”

In all my life, that had to be my shittiest move ever. I even shocked myself by hearing the words. Then I received a glimpse into what a pissed-off Maddie looked like. Red rose into her pink cheeks, hiding what few freckles usually lived there.
