Sophie couldn’t shake the feeling Shy had some reservations about Dalton after their talk on the porch so she’d offered to stay behind after walking Dalton to his truck, under the guise of helping her friend clean up after she put the baby to bed.

“So?” Sophie asked, stacking the plates on the counter as she removed them from the dishwasher. “What do you think of Dalton?”

“He’s nice.”

Nice was not a word Shy used often, making Sophie’s radar go on high alert. “Nice? That’s it? That’s all you’re gonna give me?”

Shy laughed. “What do you want me to say? I just met the guy tonight.”

“Yeah, and you knew you wanted to marry Paul after you spent like two hours with the guy. It doesn’t take you all that long to figure people out.” Sophie hated to admit it, but that was part of the reason she’d wanted to introduce Dalton to her friend. She wanted Shy to tell her that she was crazy for having reservations about him. “So let me hear your take on Dalton.”

“My take on him…” Sophie wiped down the counter with a damp rag, a contemplative expression on her face. “He’s handsome, maybe too handsome.”

Sophie laughed, trying to ease the ball of tension that had formed in her belly. “Too handsome? Is there such a thing?”

Shy rolled her eyes before rinsing her cloth in the sink. “You know there is. Guys like that, rich, famous, gorgeous, talented… they know they can have any woman they want and they often have a hard time picking just one.”

Sophie couldn’t deny she’d been living with the same fear ever since she and Dalton started seeing each other, but hearing her friend voice her concerns made her want to jump to Dalton’s defense. “He may have been like that before, but I have no reason to believe he’s seeing anyone else.”

“I don’t think he is either,” Shy said, leaning her hip against the counter. “I walked away from our talk certain of one thing. The man does care about you.”

Sophie knew that should put her mind at ease, but the uncertainty etched on Shy’s face only made her feel worse. “But?”

“He’s hiding something.”

“What?” That’s the last thing Sophie expected her friend to say. “Why do you think that?”

“Call it a hunch.” Shy reached for Sophie’s hand. “I know that’s not what you want to hear, and I hate like hell to say it, especially with no proof to back it up, but I owe it to you to be honest with you.”

Sophie knew Shy was only looking out for her, but hearing she wasn’t the only one with reservations made her question everything. “I love him, Shy,” she whispered, easing back on a stool at the counter. “What am I supposed to do now? I agreed to let him buy that cottage with me.”

“I know.” Shy sighed. “You want my advice? Tell him you’ve changed your mind about that. Buy the place and fix it up yourself. If things work out, you’ll share it eventually anyways.
