Chapter Nine

The following day, Delta still couldn’t get Kacey’s comment about her and Garrett dating out of her head. She had to admit, it had begun to feel that way. And as much as she said she would never date a client, Garrett had slowly become the one exception. In her mind only. The man wasn’t ready to date and who knew if he ever would be. But damned if the idea wasn’t growing on her.

The morning had been relatively quiet, which she’d been thankful for. Even though she’d slept well, she was still tired. Ever since Garrett came into her life, her entire body was out of whack...beginning with her brain, which needed to be examined for even thinking about any attraction to the man.

Those kids, though...they did something to her every time she was around them. When she had offered to teach Kacey guitar, she never expected to get attached to her or her brother. But every morning since then, she’d awoken with them on her mind...along with Garrett.

He had asked her if she had ever thought about dating a man with kids, and honestly, it hadn’t crossed her mind before. She’d always thought of her parenting future as a solo venture. But now...yeah, she could. She’d fallen for Bryce’s cute-as-a-button charm and his melt-your-heart smile that rivaled his father’s. And Kacey reminded Delta so much of herself at that age. Same love of music. Same curiosity.

On her drive home last night, she couldn’t wait to see them again. She wanted to be a part of their lives and watch them grow into adults. And that was something she had no right to want. They weren’t her children.

It was shortly after eleven when she left the convalescent home with Jake. She climbed in her work truck and removed her cell phone from the charger. One missed call. Garrett. She tried to ignore the double-time beat of her heart when she listened to his voice mail.

“Hi, Delta, it’s Garrett. My head chef suggested we have a bakery cater some specialty pastries during Valentine’s week. I have an appointment with Tiers of Joy Confectioners on Central Avenue today at twelve thirty. I don’t know if you’re free or take a lunch break around then, but I’d love to get your input.”

The thought of tasting pastry with Garrett made her giddy. Delta wasn’t a giddy girl. She should say no. But who can pass up pastry?

“How would you like to spend the afternoon at BowWowWowzer’s?” Jake barked in recognition of the name. Delta had just enough time to drop him off at doggie daycare and change into more appropriate pastry eating attire.

She dialed Garrett’s number and waited for him to answer. Instead, she got his voice mail.

“Hi, it’s Delta. I’d love to meet you at twelve thirty. See you then.”

Love? Why did she use that word? It was too late to do anything about it now.

An hour later, Delta parked her Jeep in front of the bakery. She scanned the street for Garrett’s SUV but didn’t see it.
