Chapter Twenty

Brody

It had been a little over two weeks since Kara Eaton had entered their lives, and Brody had to admit she was exactly what they’d needed. She’d somehow convinced Flora to let go of her duties. Kara was doing all the cooking and slowly taking over the running of the household, including the supervision of the cleaning staff and landscape company, plus all the shopping. Kara and Doc Waller had suggested an antidepressant that had done wonders for his mother. After only two weeks it showed promise of making a big difference. Doc had explained that its full effect could take up to six weeks, but her color had returned. She was dressed and out of her room every day. She and Kara had an ongoing Scrabble game. Just yesterday he’d heard them excitedly discussing a historical mystery they were both reading.

He should be happy. But he wasn’t. Kara drove him batty. She was just always there, looking lovely and smelling of flowers and lighting up rooms with her gorgeous smile. Regardless of what she wore, jeans or cotton dresses or sweatshirts, she looked like she’d just walked out of the pages of a beauty magazine. He was usually having his coffee when she bounced into the kitchen with flushed cheeks and hair as smooth as silk down her back. All day long she bustled around the house, taking care of anything that came her way, competent and assured.

There was nothing sexier than a smart, capable woman who knew her own mind and wasn’t afraid to tell you exactly what she thought. Yet, she was kind too, and nurturing, with a sophisticated sense of humor. She came home in the evenings from her dance class dressed in tight workout clothes, leaving little to the imagination, all sweaty and disheveled, and then whipped up dinner like it was as easy as breathing. He made up excuses to come into the kitchen while she cooked dinner. Next thing he knew, he was at the counter sipping wine while she chopped and sautéed until the air exploded with savory scents. They never ran out of subjects to talk about, from food to politics to books.

And, that low, silky voice of hers. If only he could hear her bubbly laugh next to his ear as his hands roamed her curves. If only he could make her...never mind that.

Yes, he should be happy. Instead, he was driven to distraction. Kara Eaton was the perfect example of how a woman messed up everything.

That morning, Kara waved a spatula at him while making eggs. “You seem stressed. You should come to Zumba with me. It’s a great stress reliever.”

“Zumba?” Kara was the stress. Seeing her moving her hips was not going to help.

“What? Are you too chicken?”

“I’m not chicken. I’m a professional athlete.”

“Dancing could be good for your career,” she said.

He rolled his eyes to give the impression that it was neither here nor there to him. Truth be told, he’d go anywhere Kara wanted him to, even at the risk of humiliation.
