Chapter 13

Sissy took off the green tank top she’d put on an hour ago, suddenly unsure about it. Dave would be here any minute, and she had no idea what to wear.

She wasn’t sure why she was so nervous to have him come for dinner. They’d seen each other every day for months, and he probably wouldn’t have any clue that she’d worn the same tank top to lunch with him a few weekends ago.

But Sissy knew.

She’d just slid the meal he’d requested into the oven five minutes ago, and now she needed a new shirt. The doorbell rang, and she dashed over to the bedroom door and closed it.

Dave would just come in. He never waited for her to answer the door, and sure enough, his voice called, “Sissy?”

“Be right out,” she yelled over her shoulder before ducking back into the tiny walk-in closet. She hadn’t realized she wanted one that would hold three dozen pairs of shoes, all her clothes, and all of Dave’s too—until she’d babysat for Jeri and Sawyer.

They seemed to have everything she now wanted and hadn’t even known it. Even this house was too small for her now.

She wasn’t sure what that said about her. She’d lived in a tent for weeks in Chile, and she’d given up her apartment for a three-month walkabout in Europe. Her home had never meant all that much to her.

She’d blazed her own way in the world, but now…. Now she wanted some stability. She wanted someone to come home to.

Knocking sounded on her door, and she realized she’d slipped into her own thoughts. She grabbed a light blue sweater and pulled it over her head. She hurried over to the door and yanked it open. Too late, she realized it was a cropped sweater, and the waistband of her jeans and a strip of her stomach was clearly visible.

Dave stared at the spot, reaching for her a moment later. “You look great.” He kissed her, his hands electric on the bare skin of her back. She’d kissed him like this before, but it somehow felt different, and she ducked her head a moment later.

“Dinner will be a while,” she said. “I just got it in the oven a few minutes ago.”

“No problem.” He grinned at her easily, sobering quickly. “You okay in here?”

“I’m still deciding on my wardrobe.” She felt like the sweater belonged on a much younger woman, who wasn’t carrying quite so many extra pounds. “I’ll be out in a minute.”

He backed up one step, then another. “Okay.” He turned and walked away, muttering something to himself under his breath.

Sissy wasn’t sure what that was about, but she closed the door and found a suitable replacement for the blue sweater. She couldn’t wear a sweater in June anyway, not even a crop-top one.

With a sensible, flowery pink blouse on, she went out to the kitchen and living area of the house. Dave had kicked off his boots and lay on the couch, fast asleep.

She giggled to herself and set about making a green salad to go with the cheesy, rich dish he’d wanted.
