Ana took a stuffed chicken and apple dumplings in to share with Teddy and Nola the next evening. As she took the meal from the oven, she wondered if Garrett was eating his bass. He'd been quiet and polite—and noticeably distant—all day. When she'd told him she was having dinner in town, he had grown very still for a long moment. Then he'd said, "I guess you'll miss the fish. Sorry."

While the meal baked, she and Nola had played Scrabble. She'd also talked Nola into letting her wash two loads of infant sheets, blankets and clothing and getting it all folded and put away while Nola supervised from a rocking chair. The young woman was growing larger by the day and it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to get around. Ana knew Teddy was worried. Nola's blood pressure had been higher than the doctor liked, he'd confided, and they were hoping the twins did come a little early. Sonograms showed both babies were a good size and appeared to be doing well.

She stayed to clean up after the meal and didn't get home until nearly eight. Garrett's car was gone when she pulled into their lane, and she told herself it didn't matter. She hadn't expected to see him.

Even if it was a Thursday and they always watched their shows together.

Immediately after that thought came an image out of nowhere. She sat on the couch with Garrett, cuddled into the curve of his arm. As the television show took a commercial break, he turned to her and sought her lips as she wrapped her arms around his strong back and pulled him down.... Stop it, Ana Janette!

Oh, how she wished she could. All day long she'd been trying not to think about The Kiss. All day long she'd had her brain invaded by the breathless, tingly sensation that accompanied any thought of the way he'd gently tugged her against him. His hand had played in her hair, his lips had been warm and firm and far too enticing. And when she'd stopped thinking and let herself go with the moment, sliding her arms up around his neck, he'd pulled her against him—against every muscled, hard, hot inch of him— and she'd nearly swooned in his arms with an overwhelming urge to drag him down to the dock and give herself to him.

It had been a shocking self-revelation, and she'd torn herself from his arms, angry with her yearning body and even more upset that her heart ached at least as much.

Too agitated to sit down and watch the television, she decided to take a run. She hadn't exercised today, other than swimming, so it would do her good. But as she established a steady pace, watching the rutted lane carefully for spots that might twist an ankle, her thoughts went right back to the evening before.

The time they'd shared on the lake had been lovely. Garrett had been friendlier and more open than ever. In fact, he'd been getting gradually more approachable all week.
