Friday

She didn’t get much sleep, but at least Zach didn’t try to call her.

In a way, she was a little disappointed, but he must be just as mortified as she was.

They were like family. They couldn’t do that—no matter how much they might want to.

She couldn’t believe Zach even wanted to be with her that way, but evidently he did.

She drank several cups of coffee and took a half-hour shower, until she felt human enough to get dressed and get started with the day.

Since she’d been away from the shop all day yesterday, she had to go in this morning. That would mean seeing Zach.

She had no idea what she would say to him.

Maybe he would be at Eden Manor most of the day. He was supposed to be getting going on that job this week, and so far he hadn’t done very much. The guys he’d hired to help were supposed to start yesterday. She hadn’t been out to see what they’d accomplished, but there was only so much they could do in one day.

She decided to put on something pretty today, since she needed the morale boost and she was just going to be working behind a desk. So she put on her favorite skirt—a long flowing cotton one in yellow and green—and an eyelet top.

She still felt sick in her stomach, but she was satisfied it wouldn’t be obvious to other people as she stepped out of her door.

When she saw an old truck parked in her driveway, she jerked to an abrupt stop.

It was Zach’s truck, and he was getting out as she stared. Evidently, he’d been waiting for her to leave this morning.

All of her assumed confidence fled in an instant, and she just stood dumbly and waited until Zach walked toward her.

When he didn’t say anything, she managed to ask, “What did you want?”

“I wanted to talk.”

“You could have called.”

“I didn’t think you’d answer the phone.”

She was pretty sure she wouldn’t have. “What is it?”

He looked like he hadn’t gotten much sleep either, and he was slightly bristly, as if he hadn’t shaved. “I wanted to talk about last night. What did you think I wanted?”

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

“I think there is.”

She sucked in a sharp breath and told herself to be mature and reasonable about this whole thing. “Okay. It was a mistake. It can’t happen again.”

“Why not?”

She blinked. “Because it’s wrong.”

“Why is it wrong?”

She was starting to get flustered again, but she fought against the feeling. “You were there, weren’t you? We can’t be doing that. And in my dad’s house.” She shuddered.

“Okay. The timing and the place weren’t ideal, but that doesn’t mean—”

“None of it is ideal, Zach. You’re like my brother.”

“Don’t call me that! I’m not your brother. You can’t tell me you look at me like a brother.”

She didn’t. God help her, but she didn’t. “But it’s still wrong, Zach. There’s too much…too much between us.”

She tried to imagine what could happen now, what would happen if they continued what they’d started last night.
