Chapter Eight

Penny just leaned back in the chair and stared at the computer screen. Sundays were about the only time she had to work on her own things, but today was certainly turning out to be a bust. This paper was going nowhere fast. Alex’s suggestions had been good, and his pep talk on the phone this morning before church had been even better, but she just couldn’t seem to get it together.

She leaned forward and deleted the chunk she’d just written. This computer was fast all of a sudden. Since Brad had gotten his hands on it, to be exact.

Brad. Couldn’t she do anything without her thoughts turning to him? Well, she could if he would leave like he was supposed so. Everywhere she turned, she ran into him either literally or iguratively. He was supposed to see Matt Harris tomorrow and then be on his way. She would drive Gran to physical therapy round her work schedule like she had for the past month. And the answering machine would pick up the calls while Gran was out of the office like always. They didn’t need him here. She didn’t need him here.

And she certainly didn’t need his kisses. Which was why she was going to be very careful around him until he finally did decide to leave. Protecting Dorothy was one thing, but getting burned herself was another.

On that note, she flipped through her folder and pulled out the notes Alex had made on her last draft of the paper. This time they would make sense, because this time she was not going to let her heart go off on some dumb tangent about Brad.

The trailer door swung open. “Thought this had to be where you were hiding,” Brad said as he stepped inside.

Damn. What was he doing here? Had her crazy heart conjured him up because her brain had banished all thought or him? No, he was real, not some figment of her imagination Her heart had come alive, suddenly beating double time, and her cheeks had turned hot. He was definitely real.

“I’m not hiding.” She sounded all too breathless, as if she’d been running a marathon or something and that annoyed her She shoved her folder under some papers, while bringing up a different document—a safe one—onto the screen. “I’m just catching up on some paperwork.”

“Just show me what needs to be done and I’ll do it tomorrow.” Brad pulled a chair up next to her and sat down. “Might as well keep me busy. Or are you going to want me to drive you around after all?”

Heavens, no. She needed to stay clear of him, not have him at her side all day. “No, the ankle’s good as new.” She swung her leg out from under the desk and rotated her foot. “See” Nothing wrong with it.”

He bent over so that she couldn’t see his face. “I’m not so sure. I think I need a closer look, just to be certain.” His voice was teasing, but she pulled her foot away just to be on the safe side.
