Chapter Eleven
âThereâs Molly!â Izzy slammed the car door and started to rush off to join the group of girls outside the school gym.
âWhoa, whoa. Donât I get a goodbye kiss?â
She hunched her shoulders and glanced around. âMom, please. Not here.â
âMy bad.â Delia flashed an apologetic grin to cover her dismay. Izzy had entered the stage in which PDAs became an embarrassment. I thought I had more time before this happened. âYou have your phone, right?â
âIn my bag.â She twisted to show her backpack.
âIf you need me, call.â
Her gaze darted to the campers. âI wonât need you.â
Ouch. âIâll pick you up right in this spot at 5 oâclock.â
âI know.â
âYour supplies are in the backpack. The camp will give you lunch.â
âI know.â She shifted from foot to foot.
âAll right. Go!â She waved her off.
Izzy shot away like sheâd been catapulted. Delia had raised her to become capable and independent, but watching it happen, well, it hurt. My baby doesnât need me anymore.
Halfway across the quad, she stopped dead, turned, ran back, and threw her arms around Delia. âI love you, Mom.â
Her eyes smarted. âI love you, too, sweetie. Have bunches of fun!â
âI will.â She waved at Wingman seated in the car. âBye, Angel!â She dashed to join the girls.
Delia waited until the kids filed into the school gym before getting into the car. âSheâs growing up.â
âAre you okay?â Wingman had stayed in the vehicle to avoid creating a spectacle.
âI will be.â
âSheâs asserting her independence.â
âYes. And thatâs the goal, but I donât like it.â She gave a little laugh. âItâs day camp, for goodnessâ sake. Sheâll be home in the evening. She attended kindergarten, and I was fine.â After crying every day for the first week. âIâll be fine now, too.â
She would be fine! Sheâd wished for alone time. Now she had it. She glanced at him, and the backburner attraction heated to a sizzle. âWhat do you want to do today?â
He took her hand, pressing a kiss to her palm. âYou decide.â
His husky voice caused her body to throb in all the right places. She knew what she wanted. âMy place or yours?â
âWell, four other men live at my placeâ¦â
She started the ignition. âThat answers that.â
One minute later, she pulled into her driveway. Two houses down at Trudy Beckmanâs, a wiry guy marched behind a lawn mower. The prodigal son, she presumed. She caught a glimpse of his sweat-stained back and a ponytail dangling beneath a ball cap. Any other time, sheâd hop over and introduce herself but not today.
Only one man mattered.
Her skin tingled with awareness as they strode to the house, her hand clasped in Wingmanâs.
âCharlie is in the backyard,â she said as they entered the house. There would be no mishaps this time!
âAs long as I can see where he isâ¦â
âIâm amazed your ankle healed so fast.â Heâd shown up at her house this morning, walking normally.
âTechnology.â He stepped closer and smoothed her hair away from her face. Her eyelids closed as his lips met hers, and he pulled her into his arms.
