JESSICA CUT A PIECE of meat and put it in her mouth, fear warring with pride. What if it tasted terrible?

Even as she chewed, relief filling her, she watched Cal and the others at the table. Cal ate his first bite, then turned to her.

“Jess, this steak is great What did you put on it?”

“That’s a trade secret,” she assured him, smiling.

Reverend Brewster smiled at her. “Whatever the secret is, guard it well, Jessica. It could make you another fortune.”

“Thanks, I will,” she said with a big smile.

“Jess isn’t interested in another restaurant, Tony,” Cal hurriedly said. “She has other plans.”

Jessica stared at him, unable to believe his words.

Tony leaned forward. “Oh, really? What plans, Jessica?”

Jessica tried to think of an appropriate response. She moved her lips several times, but nothing came out.

Cal had no such problem. “Jess is thinking about settling down. You know, starting a family.” He stared at Tony. “Don’t you think that’s a good idea, Tony?”

Jessica closed her eyes. Cal might as well paint a bull’s-eye on her back. Subtlety wasn’t his strong point. But then, it never had been. He’d always been starkly honest.

“A great idea. Who’s the lucky man, Jessica?”

Did she dare? It was the third time tonight that Cal had pushed her into a difficult situation. Maybe it was time he learned to mind his own business.

“Well,” she said with a smile at Tony, “I’m either going to start a new restaurant or marry Cal. I haven’t decided.”
