Chapter Thirteen

Elle wasn’t surprised to see that her mom was already at the salon when she arrived the next morning. She’d been staying at Cal’s place almost every night since he bought it, but she usually came home in the mornings before work and helped Elle get Skye ready. She hadn’t come this morning.

“Hey, sweetheart.” She greeted Elle with a grin. “I made coffee already.”

“Thanks.” Elle smiled through pursed lips.

Her mom laughed. “Well? Aren’t you going to thank me?”

Elle laughed with her. “Yes! Thank you. That was very sneaky and also very sweet of you to set us up like that.”

“You’re welcome. Did you have a good time?”

She laughed again. “Yes, thank you. A very good time. And I think that’s enough said.”

“You’re welcome again. I thought it was best if I didn’t come to the house this morning.”

“He didn’t stay.”

“Oh! But I thought ...”

Elle shrugged. “We had a good time before he left. I didn’t think it was right for him to stay over. I don’t know about Skye. I’m sure it’d be fine. She loves him. But … It was all out of the blue. If we’d planned it, I could have planned what to tell her, but …” She shrugged again. “I thought it was best if he went home.”

Her mom touched her arm. “You’re probably right. And now that you’ve … that you’re there with him, you can figure out between you how you want to handle it going forward.” She grinned. “And any time you like now, you can move into the house, and when you do, you’ll be just around the corner from him.”

“Really? That’s quick. What’s the deal?”

“Louise Sullivan called me last night. Her mom took a fall yesterday and she rushed back down to San Francisco to be with her. Andy stayed and he’s packing everything up. He’ll be gone by tomorrow night. I’ll have Austin do all the inspections on Monday so I can send them their deposit back. They were great tenants; they’ve kept the place in great shape. I don’t think there’s anything that will need doing before you can move in. I’ll have it cleaned next week and then … what do you think, do you want to move in the following weekend?”

Elle’s heart leaped into her mouth. “That soon?”

“Why not?”

Elle stared at her for a few moments. There was no reason not to.

Her mom smiled. “I’m not trying to rush you. I’m just excited for you, sweetheart. I love that you came home to me. Part of me wishes we could keep things that way, you and me and Skye all living together. But …” She laughed. “I’m hardly ever home now anyway. I’m over that side of the lake with Cal, and I like the thought of having you over there, too. But maybe I was getting carried away. There’s no rush.”

Elle nodded slowly. “There’s no rush, but there’s no reason to wait either. I guess my only hesitation was that Dad said if he doesn’t come this weekend, he’ll come next weekend.
