The next day, Alice was determined to keep following her rules and not over-analyze the evening before. She wasn’t going to rehearse every detail, examining what each little look, action, or word might have meant. And she wasn’t going to start to daydream about what might happen after this.

Anything that was going to happen, would happen whether she mentally obsessed about it or not, so she wasn’t going to work herself up into a state of romantic stupidity.

No more stupidity for her.

So she worked at the church for a few hours and then called up an old friend from high school, whom she ended up having lunch with at a cute bistro on Main Street. Then Alice, her friend, and Cara did a little shopping.

She took Cara back to Micah’s house afterwards, boiled eggs, and got everything ready to decorate Easter eggs. She set Cara in her bouncy seat some distance away so she could watch but not get her little hands on anything she shouldn’t.

Alice had dyed her first dozen eggs and was working on the decorations when the door opened behind her and a voice called, “Alice, I’m home.”

It was just after three, and she hadn’t expected Micah until dinner time.

“I’m down here,” she said, leaning back so he could see her. “You’re home early.”

“Yeah, it started to rain, so we had to give up on the Rogers’ place for today.” He blinked in surprise when he saw she was on the floor with all her supplies spread out on newspaper.

“I’m doing Easter eggs,” she explained with a smile, reminding herself that she could be perfectly happy without him, no matter how unbearably gorgeous he looked with his hair slightly damp from the rain.

He had his hands full, but he put his stuff down on the counter, leaned down to kiss and say hello to Cara, and then knelt down to the floor beside her.

“Wow,” he said, when he saw the egg she was working on. “How did you do that?”

The egg was dyed a dark red, and she was painting it with gold paint to give it an ornate look. “I’m just painting it.” She showed him her brush.

He gazed in awe at her collection of bowls with dye, her little acrylic paint set, and her other decorations. “How did you do this one?” He pointed toward the egg she’d just finished, with a lace pattern on pale blue.

“I wrapped it with lace before I dyed it. Then, when it was dry, I took the lace off and it left that pattern.” She gestured to a couple of others that were just getting dry. “These have stickers of them that I’ll take off.”

“What is the marker for?”

“I don’t know. Sometimes I want to draw on an egg. I just do whatever I feel like. Didn’t you ever decorate Easter eggs before?”

“Yeah, but we always just dunked them in jars. We never did anything this fancy.”

She handed him an egg she’d died a darker blue. “Here. You can decorate this one.
