Surely it didn’t take this long to clean up a coffee stain, Martin thought as he waited for Meg to return. He waited a minute or two longer then felt a flash of alarm. Was something wrong?

He strode down the hall. “Meg? Where are you?”

No answer. There was no sign of her in his study or the guest bedroom. He entered his bedroom that was dimly lit by a small lamp. “Meg? Are you in here?”

Still no answer. But she had to be here. She hadn’t been kidnapped or climbed out a window. Kidnappings were unheard of in Meadow Springs, and he doubted Meg would climb out a window unless the cabin was on fire.

When he entered the master bathroom, he saw her. She lay on his chaise lounge, sound asleep. What happened? Had she suddenly felt sick?

Deciding not to wake her, Martin returned to his bedroom and folded down the maroon quilted bedspread then pulled back the sheet. After fluffing the pillow, he returned to the bathroom, and when he bent to pick Meg up, she didn’t stir.

Poor baby. She’d been through a lot lately. She’d been so disappointed Liza chose a convention over their visit. And she’d worked like a trouper, helping him write his speech. To make matters worse, he’d dragged her all over the fairgrounds and to tonight’s town meeting. He was a first-class jerk not to recognize that Meg was exhausted.

She looked so peaceful as she slept. He saw no trace of the anxiety he’d seen in her the past few days. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and laid her down as gently as possible. But he doubted a major earthquake would awaken her.

He slipped off her shoes and placed them on the floor, then pulled the sheet over her shoulders. He stood for several moments just gazing at this magnificent woman who had stolen his heart. While she looked like Sleeping Beauty, he wasn’t much of a prince. Not when he hadn’t realized he was taking advantage of her.

He placed one more kiss on her forehead and lingered a moment to let the gardenia fragrance work its magic. And it did.

Then he grabbed his pajamas, robe, and toothbrush and headed for the guest bedroom. After changing, he climbed into bed and turned on the television but muted the sound. No sense taking a chance on waking Meg. The least he could do was give her a decent night’s rest. Starting tomorrow, he’d make this up to her. He would devote more time to Meg’s activities—to whatever she wanted to do the rest of her time off.

And he had some serious apologizing to do.
