CHAPTER FOUR

AFTER WORK, KADY tried to bide her time. Unfortunately, she wasn’t a patient woman. She took a long shower, washing and drying her hair, then dressed in her favorite shorts and cami—and all the while her thoughts were on Tucker. He should have talked to her first, instead of her family. She was still irked about that, and she wanted to give him hell for it.

She sighed.

He probably had no idea of the firestorm he’d started, and honestly, it’d serve him right to figure it out the hard way.

But she didn’t want him scared off.

After doing some laundry and eating her dinner, she gave up. Obviously she knew her family a lot better than he did, and she couldn’t in good conscience let him walk into their masses tomorrow without first warning him.

When she decided to head to Tucker’s, she considered changing into a dress. He had said that he liked her in dresses. That would be so obvious though—when she’d already been very obvious. So instead she stepped into flat thong sandals, grabbed her purse and keys, and headed out the door.

Was he home by now? It was nearing eight o’clock, so he should be off work. Did he have other plans? Would he be glad to see her?

She wasn’t timid, wasn’t reserved, yet misgivings flogged her determination on the drive over—only for her to find that he wasn’t yet home.

Damn.

How desperate would it look if she waited? No, not desperate. She wouldn’t let it seem that way. After all, she was a Good Samaritan, here to clue him in.

She saw no point in going to the kitchen door when he wasn’t home, but neither did she want to sit in her hot car. The front porch, at least, was shaded. She took a seat on a step, her legs stretched out before her, one shoulder leaning against a post, and watched the squirrels running around the yard, up and down the trees.

The minutes slipped away, and by the time he finally pulled into the drive some thirty minutes later, she’d worked herself into a major pique.

Tucker saw her at once, of course, and even behind those blasted sunglasses he wore, she knew he was frowning.

How could a man be even more handsome with a scowl? She wasn’t sure, but he was. Of course, when he laughed, it gave her goose bumps, and when he stared at her so intently...well, somewhat like he was doing now as he closed his SUV door and started toward her with purposeful strides, her pulse raced.

Getting to her feet on the step, she stuck her hands on her hips and got the ball rolling.

“You have no idea what you’ve done, do you?”

He kept walking.

“You blabbed to everyone. Before you’d even discussed it with me!” He was closer now, almost to her, and he took off his sunglasses, showing her his fiercely direct gaze. Her heart began to thunder, and she tried to rally. “You might not realize it, but my family
