CHAPTER 32

Driving through the neighborhood was like traveling back in time. The neat, craftsman style houses had each been modified and expanded over the years, but BJ was sure if he closed his eyes for a moment, when he opened them again, he’d see shiny new Hudsons and Studebakers parked along the tree-lined streets. Okay, twig-lined streets that would become tree-lined streets. Children would be playing hopscotch on the sidewalk while strains of Perry Como and Tony Bennett floated from the open windows of houses still decades away from central air conditioning.

Everything was so different from the glass and concrete apartments and condos his other girlfriends had called home, but that didn’t surprise him because Megan herself was so different from anyone he had ever known that she didn’t belong in the same class as the others. And he had to find a way to convince her that was a good thing.

Because it was. It was a very good thing. The best thing. She was the perfect blend of every woman he’d ever loved. The grandmothers who indulged but demanded proper behavior. The warm, loving mother who encouraged and nurtured. But best of all, the hotness of every woman he’d ever dated, all rolled into a sweet, smart, sexy woman. Yep, he was pretty sure love was exactly the right word. He let that word roll around in his head. It bumped into very few other names.

He pulled into the driveway of a charming bungalow. The wide porch boasted two white wicker rocking chairs and a low bistro table. Hanging baskets of cascading petunias in white and purple hung every few feet. Colorful bowls of mixed annuals stood on the newel posts, inviting neighbors to climb the stairs for a visit. A garden of neatly trimmed rose bushes lined the foundation of the porch with an explosion of color and aroma.

I’m glad I decided on wine. Bringing her flowers would have been redundant. He bounded up the stairs, knocked on the screen door, and waited.

“There’s my knight in shining armor!” She let him in, accepted the wine, and greeted him with a cordial hug and chaste kiss on the cheek.

He let his hand linger before giving up the bottle. “All I did was pull you out of the pool that I had shoved you into. I’m not a hero.” But the notion that she might think he was gave him pause. Since an early age, he’d heard nearly every compliment a woman can give a man, but no one had ever called him their knight. If anyone other than Megan had accused him of that, he would have peeled out so fast he would have left skid marks halfway down the block. Without his car.

But over the past three days, memories of her thrashing in the pool had assaulted him at odd times. The idea that he might have lost her sent waves of panic through him that had matched the panic he’d seen on her face that day.

Now, he was the one in danger of drowning.
