Ivy steps outside, carrying a tray piled with everything needed to make sâmores. Mason is jumping up and down, and Jasmine is chewing her bottom lip. Then she looks over at Daisy, who gives a slight shrug.
While Iâm no Sherlock Holmes, even I can see that sâmores are triggering some sort of memory. Is it possible that she remembers the party but doesnât recognize me? That doesnât make any sense.
I lean close so my question wonât be overheard. âEverything okay?â
âYeah. I love sâmores.â Her gaze is fixed on the package of chocolate bars.
I thread marshmallows onto a roasting stick. âHow do you like them? Zero for hand it over without getting it near the fire and five for charcoal tastes pretty good.â
A genuine smile chases away the dark clouds. âThree.â
âIâll do my best.â I hold the stick over the fire and slip an arm around her waist. âMaybe next Saturday after I work on your garden, youâll let me take you to dinner.â
If standing here by a fire with marshmallows on a stick doesnât jog her memory, that memory must not be important, and thereâs no reason to let it complicate things. I like this woman. She dominates my thoughts when Iâm not with her, and Iâm eagerly planning my weekends so that I can spend more time with her.
âIâd like that.â She leans in closer. âAnd I am okay. Someday Iâll explain. But not tonight.â
âYou know where to find me.â If I get my way, sheâll only have to look beside her because thatâs becoming my favorite place to be.
When the marshmallows are perfect, I slide one onto a graham cracker, then hold out a piece of chocolate. Jasmine stares at the chocolate in my hand a second, then up at me. Her small laugh relaxes me. âPutting the marshmallow on the chocolate would make mess.â She picks up the chocolate pieces and places them on her sâmore. âThis looks perfect. Thank you.â
âI aim to please.â
She stacks the other marshmallow onto a graham cracker, then tops it with chocolate before handing it to me. âIâm glad we came.â
âMe too.â I take a bit of the gooey treat.
She inches up to wipe something off the side of my mouthâprobably chocolateâand Mason shoots me a thumbs-up from the opposite side of the firepit. His timing is perfect, and inside, Iâm laughing because it seems that Jasmine is always cleaning chocolate off me.
I like that kid. But not as much as I like Jasmine. Or as I still sometimes call her in my head, Bottle Caps.
