CHAPTER TEN

“I’ll meet you there.”

Brock frowned as he stood in a bay at Old Town Auto talking to Finley on the phone. It had been just five days since Lilly and Ethan’s wedding, and they’d both been crazy busy. Once word got out that Finley had made Lilly’s cake, The Sweet Tooth was suddenly slammed with requests for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and anything else Finley was willing to make for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations…even more upcoming weddings. It seemed that everyone in Fallport wanted Finley to cater their event.

While Brock was thrilled for her, it meant she was working longer hours and they had less time to spend together. By the time she left the bakery in the evenings, she was exhausted. It had been two days since they’d made love, which wasn’t what bothered Brock. He loved holding her while she slept. He wasn’t with her because of the sex, even though that was out of this world; he genuinely enjoyed simply being near her.

But he didn’t like her working herself into the ground. Davis had been stopping by after the bakery closed in the afternoons to help her prep for the next day and to assist in some of the catering orders, but it wasn’t enough. Something had to give.

He’d talked to her that morning about not overdoing things. About taking some time for herself. For them. She hadn’t hesitated to agree, much to Brock’s relief. The last thing he wanted was for her to burn out. She hated to disappoint anyone but accepting every single job someone asked her to do wasn’t going to be sustainable in the long run.

They’d planned to try the hiking thing again this afternoon. The weather in the first week of November was perfect for a walk. Cold, but not frigid. The real winter weather wouldn’t kick in until December, most likely, and Brock wanted to enjoy the forest while he still could.

There were still just as many tourists coming to Fallport to try to find Bigfoot for themselves as there’d been right after the show aired. Which was great for local businesses, but it meant Brock and his friends were busier than usual as well. They continued to be called out for lost hikers, most thankfully being found within a few hours. Brock was looking forward to a leisurely hike with Finley. Nothing too strenuous, as he was well aware that she could be pregnant.

Her period was late, which she said wasn’t actually too unusual, especially since she was more stressed than normal. He couldn’t believe how much he wanted her to be pregnant. But she’d said she didn’t want to jinx anything by taking a pregnancy test, that she wanted to wait. Brock didn’t really understand that decision, but he’d decided he was going to treat her as if she was carrying his child already. She’d get pregnant sooner or later, so it wouldn’t hurt to be careful now.

But at the moment, she was telling him that she was running late and it would be better if she met him at the Rock Creek Trail.
