CHAPTER SEVEN

Something wasn’t adding up about Dylan Kingsley. The man pushing the shopping cart next to her was more complicated than she’d originally thought. Or maybe she was the one complicating things.

On the ride here, they’d enjoyed a pleasant conversation. He’d told her about the summer he’d learned how to ride a horse. She’d filled him in on how she and Allison entertained each other as kids by running through sprinklers in the summer and playing house or Barbies. She’d asked him questions, but he’d been tight-lipped and vague about the rest of his childhood. It reminded her of when she’d first met him—and her suspicions had flared all over again. Had she been wrong about him? Was he hiding something from her? Was he really like Carl and she’d been fooling herself?

If he was like Carl, he’d fill up the cart and pretend he’d lost his wallet.

Phoebe was strapped into the cart and happily gripped the bar, watching everyone who walked by. Several people waved to her and mentioned what a cute baby she was. Their kind words warmed Gabby’s heart.

“Where should we head to first?” Dylan asked.

“What do you need?” A blast of air-conditioning, bright fluorescent lights and displays of beach towels and plastic dishes greeted them as they passed the grocery section into a general merchandise area.

He listed the items, and she pointed to the far corner where housewares were located. “This way.”

They found the fans. Gabby began checking the prices of each, and Dylan zoomed to a top-of-the-line model and hauled it into the back of the cart.

“Aren’t you going to look at all of them?” She pointed to a cheap box fan.

“Why?” His thick eyebrows drew together, giving him an adorably confused look.

“To find the best value.”

“This has the features I want.” He dusted off his hands and joined her at the front of the cart.

“How do you know the other ones don’t?”

“Box fans only blow in one direction.” He nodded to the one she’d been looking at.

“It’s inexpensive, though.” Had he even checked the price?

“I’m sure it is, but it doesn’t have what I need.” He pointed to the other fans on the shelves. “Those two are basically the same model, and I’d have to buy an end table for them to sit on. The one I’m buying stands up, oscillates and has a remote control.”

It sounded fancy and pricey. But she reluctantly conceded his argument made sense.

He resumed pushing the cart until they reached the bedding section.

A fluffy comforter in the palest mint green drew her eye. She sighed longingly. She didn’t have the funds to replace her current faded denim coverlet, but if she did, she’d go with the mint-green one. It was light. Feminine.

Dylan, on the other hand, was holding a navy-and-tan bed-in-a-bag set at eye level to read what was in it. She peeked at an identical one sitting on the shelf. The price seemed terribly high. Trying to act nonchalant and staying within reach of Phoebe, she eyeballed the prices of the other comforters and bedspreads.
