“I’ve ordered some audio books for my book club.” Jami plucked a pen from his desk and began to doodle on a notepad. Her gaze was distracted, and Riley imagined she felt the need to keep her hands busy. “Mrs. O’Leary wants to join, so, considering her visual limitations, I thought they would be a nice addition to the stock. She was thrilled that you took the time to pick her up and bring her by for a while today.”

“She’s my friend.”

“And mine, as well.”

“And it is ‘Friends and Family Day.’”

“It was ‘Friends and Family Day.’ I’ve just closed up shop. Julia’s gone home.”

“So your day’s been good?” Riley switched off the coffeemaker and shut down his computer. “Everything you’d hoped for?”

“That and more.”

“Good.” Riley closed the file he’d been working on when she walked in. He tucked it into the file cabinet beside his desk and reached for his office keys. “Want to cap it off with a walk down by the river to check out the plans for the Fourth of July festivities, maybe indulge in a hot fudge sundae from the creamery?”

“Are you suggesting dessert before dinner?”

“Sure. Why not?” He didn’t want to let her go. Not yet. Now she gazed at him with the same concern he’d seen that day in her grandmother’s car. Her eyes, blue as sapphires, held a hint of wariness he meant to erase. It would take time and patience, both of which he was willing to sacrifice. But could he sacrifice even more to find a way to Jami’s heart…to earn her trust completely? And, if he surrendered all of his needs, would the cost destroy any hope for a future with her?

The very thought that they were at odds made his heart ache. There had to be a way through the mess he’d created. He just had to find it.
