Mara had never had Valentine’s Day plans in her entire life.

Ever.

There wasn’t really a reason for it, unless one counted the fact that she had never been in a serious relationship worth celebrating on Valentine’s Day.

Today that would change.

Not that she was in a relationship, technically. She wasn’t.

Officially.

But she’d never wanted anything more in her entire life. She wanted Zane Winchester, and she wanted him bad.

Which was why she was doing something that could potentially blow up in her face, although she suspected it would actually win her some serious points with him.

She hoped it would.

Ever since her long talk in the car with Zane on Monday night, she’d been cooking this up. They’d talked for hours, and she’d felt the late night the next morning at work, but the day had been too busy in the clinic for her to care that much. That, and she’d been giddy most of the time.

That was probably also in part due to sleep deprivation, but she was definitely into Zane as well.

And somehow, in some way, he was into her too.

She hadn’t quite figured that one out yet, but she’d take full advantage of it.

If all went well tonight, she’d have a solid tally in her favor.

He’d had a fantastic game in New York the night before, and they’d been texting each other all day, so she had a fairly good idea of where his head was at. Not that it mattered to her nerves, which were on high alert. That whole fight-or-flight response was definitely skewed to the flight part, and the only reason she wasn’t fleeing into the night was that her hormones were in charge at the moment.

And they wanted her to floor it.

She pulled into his neighborhood, clamping down on her lip hard, her heart tap-dancing in her throat.

This was her staking her claim.

He’d said he was doing that the other night, and now it was her turn. If he didn’t see this gesture for what it was, she’d have some serious waking up to help him with.

Potentially by smacking him on the shoulder using any valentines his daughter had left over from her school party.

Just for symbolism.

Mara exhaled slowly as she pulled into the driveway, her eyes darting across every window just to see which lights were on. She hadn’t gotten the tour of upstairs when she’d been by before, but the lack of light there at least had her convinced Hope would be asleep.

Which was what she’d wanted.

A window showed lights on the main floor, and a moment of panic struck her as she considered that Josie could be staying over that night. Zane was in town, so it wasn’t likely, but she hadn’t checked on his schedule for tomorrow. If he had an early practice . . .

She shook her head, fighting back the rising anxiety. One step at a time. She could adapt to the situation as needed, and everything would still work out.

So long as she didn’t have to drop off the pizza and leave.
