Chapter Thirteen

Andrew believed in second chances. When his students messed up, he was always the first one to give them another shot. But when it came to himself, he wasn’t so forgiving. Since he’d told Emily about Beth’s murder, he’d tried to give himself license to move on.

But last week, Beth’s mom had sent him a card, wishing him well in his new place and with his new job. Since then, he’d struggled with guilt again. Beth had been an only child, so her death had completely devastated both of her parents. Her mom had kept in contact with Andrew over the years and had always seemed genuinely concerned about how he was doing.

There had been no animosity in the card she’d sent, just well wishes. But that didn’t keep Andrew from realizing the injustice in the situation. Beth’s life was over, yet he got to have a fresh start. Somehow it didn’t seem right.

And his relationship with Emily, as wonderful as it was turning out to be, suffered because of his guilt. She’d looked at him strangely the other night when he’d taken her home from the football game. He’d hugged her and kissed her on the cheek and for a split second when he pulled away he saw the uncertainty on her face.

How could he explain to her that he felt like giving in to his feelings and kissing her would seem like the ultimate betrayal of Beth’s memory?

He was headed over to Emily’s house tonight for an evening in. She insisted on cooking dinner for him after he’d questioned her cooking skills last week. But only because she’d made fun of him because he’d confessed his best dish was macaroni and cheese out of the box.

Andrew smiled at the thought as he pulled into the parking lot next to her building. At least he’d started to feel a little more comfortable downtown. Between going to Emily’s and to St. Jude, he’d learned his way around, too.

Still, he hurried inside the building. He might be getting more comfortable, but there was no reason to take any chances.

He stepped off the elevator and rang the doorbell.

Emily flung the door open, her face flushed. “This is a disaster.” She walked back into the condo, leaving him standing in the doorway.

“Hello to you, too.” He walked in and closed the door behind him.

She stopped and turned around with a grin. “Sorry. I’m just a bit of a perfectionist and things are not going the way I want them to.”

Andrew followed her into the kitchen. “What’s wrong?”

“Something is going on with my oven. It isn’t letting me cook on the stovetop and inside the oven at the same time.” She glanced at him. “Which is kind of a problem.”

He grinned. “Blaming the oven. I see how you are.”

She swatted at him. “Don’t make fun. I am a seriously good cook. My grandma taught me to cook when I was little.”

“Maybe we need to go back to Grandma’s so she can give you a refresher course.
