Chapter 11

The enticing scent of brewing coffee pulled Emma away from her dream, and she sat up abruptly. How could she be smelling coffee when she hadn’t gotten up to make it? The sound of her shower running reminded her that Cole was there, and she groaned.

I missed waking up with him. That would have been nice.

She poured herself a mug of coffee, combing through the wild waves of her hair that had been wet when she’d fallen asleep. Still in her bathrobe, she glanced at her watch to see how much time she had to get ready.

“I can’t believe it’s 8:30,” she said as Cole made his way to the coffeepot. He wore dark shorts and a gray t-shirt, and a puzzled expression crossed her face when she smelled his familiar woodsy cologne and spicy aftershave.

“How did you manage to smell like a man after showering in there?” she asked. “All my stuff smells like fruit or coconuts.”

“I had stuff in my gym bag,” he said. “I’m going to the gym to work off all the pie I ate yesterday. I’ll head out in case Layla comes to the door, but let me know when you get the news, okay?” He kissed the top of her head and Emma reached around his waist, squeezing him tightly.

“Thanks for staying,” she said.

“I wanted to. Good thoughts, okay?”

She nodded as he left, hoping Layla wasn’t running early.
