Lunch was delicious, but the company made the time memorable. Carina had dreamed of running into Tony and sharing her secret many times. She’d imagined how eager he would be to become involved in his son’s life.

But, facing reality, her fears swamped her. Would Tony be angry at missing out on Anthony’s early years? She longed for her ex to become a part of their lives, but what if he wanted her son only…instead of the ready-made family? What if he was so angry at her he took Anthony away from her? She placed a hand on her stomach to settle the churning inside.

“Carina, was the meatloaf sandwich overdone? You ate little more than a bite,” Tony inquired.

“It was good. I guess I wasn’t as hungry as I thought.” She picked up her water and guzzled more down. After setting the glass back on the table, she brushed her napkin over her lips and across her forehead. “I feel a little warm. I hope I’m not coming down with a bug. There’ve been a few of the kids out sick.” She placed her napkin on her plate. “Maybe we should head back. I know Anthony has plans to visit many of the stores on the exhibit floor, including yours.”

Tony waved for the check. “I hope you aren’t ill. But I imagine, as a teacher, you come in contact with many germs.”

Anthony touched her arm. “If you’re sick, we can just head home.” He sounded sincere, but a note of disappointment deepened his voice.

“No, Anthony. I don’t want you to lose out. If I need to, I can take some pain relievers, and we’ll be good to go.” She glanced at the bill the waitress had laid on the table. “Let us pay for your lunch.”

“You’ll do no such thing. It’s nice to see you again, Carina. I’ve missed you and our many talks about changing the world.” Tony placed his credit card on the tray along with the bill. “If you do need to rest, come to my booth in the convention center, and I’ll take Anthony around while you rest. No need for him to forgo all the fun.”

Her cheeks heated. Worried he’d caught her lie, she nodded. “Thank you, but I’m sure it won’t be necessary. Anthony, we should hit the bathrooms before we go back.” She stood and let Anthony head off before facing the one man she’d never forgotten. “Thank you for lunch. It was fun catching up. There’s no need for you to wait for us. We don’t want to keep you any longer.”

“I’ll head back with you. I want to make sure you get back in and…” He paused. “I don’t want to skip out on you again without getting your number.”

Carina’s heart sank. Turning, she headed toward the bathroom where she could give herself a pep talk in private.
