Hawk grabbed his coat on his way out of the front door and dashed down the steps. He was so lost in thought and emotion he didn’t even remember to search for his wayward helmet. All he knew was that if he didn’t get away from Kit, he’d end up making an even bigger fool of himself.

How he got back to the Bed and Breakfast, Hawk never knew. One minute he was pulling out of Kit’s driveway and the next he was stepping up onto the porch of the Apple Valley Inn.

Quietly, Hawk entered the inn and collapsed on the first chair he found. What the fuck am I doing? It was at that moment he wished he had a real buddy. Sure, he could call Jason, but Jason was more of a friendly business associate, definitely not the kind of friend he could tell about Kit.

“Hawk?” Addie said from the top of the stairs.

“Yeah. Sorry if I woke you.” He hurriedly took off his jacket and set it in his lap to cover the cum-stained denim.

Addie smiled as she descended the steps. “You didn’t. I can’t seem to get through a night anymore without getting up to sneak a snack. Don’t tell Mel. I’m sure she’s convinced my ass will never again fit into those skinny jeans she likes so much.”

“With the gift you’re giving her? I doubt Mel cares what size your ass is,” he said.

Addie giggled. “Oh, men and lesbians always say things like that until about a year after the birth when the baby newness wears off. Then its nag, nag, nag. ‘What happened to the woman I fell in love with?’” Addie gestured toward the kitchen. “Come on, I’ll fix us both something.”

With his stomach still in knots, Hawk knew there was no way he could eat. “I’m not hungry, but I’d be happy to join you.”

Hawk settled himself on a kitchen chair and watched while Addie pulled half a gallon of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer.

She carried it, along with a bowl, spoon and knife to the table. “Slide me over that pan of brownies.”

He did as asked and waited while Addie constructed a tower of brownie à la mode. He couldn’t stop thinking of Kit’s big hazel eyes staring at him just before he’d left. Damn, he shouldn’t have run out on her like he had.

“You’re staring,” she practically growled.

Hawk shook his head. “Sorry. Lost in thought.” He leaned on the table and propped his chin up with the heel of his hand. “Can I ask you something?”

“As long as it has nothing to do with how much weight I’ve gained,” Addie answered.

Hawk smiled at Addie’s one-track mind. “When you first met Mel, did you know she could be the one?”

Addie shifted uncomfortably in her chair. “That’s probably not a good question to ask. I was with someone else when I first arrived in Cattle Valley.”

“Fair enough.”

“But yeah, I think I knew after that first day she helped me clean up this place that there was something there I didn’t want to admit to myself.
