“If you look at your watch one more time, I’m going to kick you out of my café.”

Landon, seated at a bar stool, tore his gaze away from his wristwatch and glanced up. He made a face at Amber, who stood on the other side of the bar. “You’d do that to your own brother?”

“No doubt.” Amber tossed a blond curl over her shoulder and grinned. “I’ve been speaking to you for the past five minutes and I don’t think you’ve heard a word I’ve said.” She gestured toward the small car seat on the counter. “And poor Sophia has been begging for your attention since you came in. I bet she’s beginning to feel neglected.”

As if in agreement, Sophia cooed up at him from her car seat as she kicked her feet and pumped her fists.

After escaping nosy Poppy, Sallie Ann and Carrie by taking Sophia for a walk around the school track for half an hour, Landon had driven over to Amber’s café and placed an order for to-go burgers and fries for supper. Matthew and Katie had had a tumultuous day and Emma wasn’t used to spending an extra two hours at school in the afternoon. He figured Katie and the kids would be tired, hungry and ready to crash by the time he picked them up, and he’d looked forward to visiting Amber.

But ever since he walked away from Katie an hour and a half ago, he hadn’t been able to think of anything except how Katie was faring at her first choir practice.

Landon smiled, leaned down and kissed Sophia’s forehead. “Sorry, baby.”

“You gonna give Katie one of those, too?” Amber asked.

Landon jerked upright and searched his sister’s blank expression. “Give her what? A kiss?”

God knows he’d given Katie a rather racy one earlier today in the bathroom, of all places. If she hadn’t broken away and if he hadn’t managed to control himself, they’d have probably ended up in his bed. Then there was that kiss at Katie’s motel room the other night, though that one hadn’t been his fault. That kiss had been all Katie.

Beautiful, impulsive and sweetly passionate Katie...

“I meant an apology,” Amber said. “You know, for doubting her ability to lead a choir practice? That’s why you’ve been checking your watch every two minutes for the past half hour, right?” She propped her elbows on the bar and studied his face. “Is there something going on between you two I should know about?”

Landon forced a laugh and dragged a hand through his hair. “What?” He puffed out a heavy breath. “No.”

Amber grinned. “Oh, I think there is something going on between you two. Something romantical, maybe?”

“That’s ridiculous. The only reason I’ve been checking my watch is because I don’t want to be late picking the kids up from practice.”

“And Katie, too, right?” Amber asked. “You don’t want to be late picking her up either, do you?”

“Well, obviously,” he said. “She comes with the kids.”

Amber’s brows raised, a somber expression crossing her face.
