KATIE SAT ON THE STOOL BEHIND THE COUNTER, TEMPTED to throw all the order slips in the air, then fill the ones that landed right side up. She didn’t know how she was going to have everything ready for customers, and she didn’t want to disappoint them. She didn’t even have a phone to let anyone know their orders wouldn’t be ready on time.

As tears threatened to spill, she watched Henry untether his horse, then climb in the buggy and drive off. He never said why he stopped by, although Katie hadn’t really given him an opportunity to say much. She’d avoided his comment about David being her boyfriend. After replaying the question over in her mind a few times, she still wasn’t sure. It seemed as if David had slipped into the role of boyfriend without her knowing. He’d even gone from kissing her on the cheek to kissing her on the lips. Katie had been kissed before, but it usually didn’t happen after three dates.

Fretting and worrying weren’t going to get pies in the oven, so she added another log to the firebox and began rolling dough. She reminded herself that Henry had plenty of opportunities over the years to ask her out, and he hadn’t until recently. At least David was making an effort to help her during this difficult time. Could she fault Henry for not offering assistance? He had a job, and he’d already watched the bakery once so Katie could go to lunch with David.

She set the rolling pin aside, then reached into the cabinet and pulled out a whoopie pie. After staring at it a minute, she eventually placed the wrapped dessert back in the cabinet. Gorging on sugar wasn’t going to solve her problems.

I just have to make it until Saturday.
