Audrey had quickly fallen into a comfortable role at the bookstore and found herself thriving as the day went on. As much as she loved her niece, she enjoyed not being tied down with a baby. Throughout the day, though, moments of guilt washed over her and made her feel like the crummiest aunt ever. She forced herself to remember that she was not only working for her own well-being and independence, but for Daniella’s as well. Along with the guilt that popped up sporadically, she also had a few longing moments where her mind drifted off to Jamie and wondered what the cute butch was up to. It had been a week since Jamie’s impromptu sleepover, and since then, they hadn’t shared another meal or another intimate conversation other than sweet text messages and phone calls. Jamie had sounded healthy and relatively happy during their small, cherished times together over their phones, but Audrey could sense that Jamie wasn’t telling her something, and that bothered her. Even if romance wasn’t in the cards for them, a friendship definitely was as they had grown closer in the last month, so Audrey assumed Jamie would want to tell her everything about what was going on in her life. She figured she was going to have to coax it out of her.

“I can’t cook for her, not after what she’s made.” Audrey was in the romance section of the store, stocking paperbacks on the shelves. “I can just ask her what’s going on.” She sighed then froze when she spotted a pile of new books that had arrived—lesbian fiction romance. She picked up one of the paperbacks and stared at the cover showing two women in the throes of passion. Seduce her? Does Jamie see me in that way? Of course, she does. How many times have you caught her looking down your top or at your legs? Too many to count. “Probably thought she was being sly,” Audrey muttered to herself then giggled.

Once her very first shift was done, she picked up Daniella at Amy’s then headed for the grocery store. After placing the shopping cart cover in the seat of the cart, Audrey settled Daniella in the seat then handed her a teething ring to chew on. “Poor baby girl.” She stroked her hair, noting the rosy cheeks, a side effect from teething. Audrey’s full attention was on Daniella as she pushed the cart to the front doors that she hadn’t noticed the cart emerging from inside about to collide with hers.

“Watch out!”

Audrey sharply looked up just in time to see Jamie expertly maneuvering her cart around Audrey’s. “Oh, Jamie, I’m so sorry, I wasn’t watching.”

Jamie dramatically placed a hand over her heart as she took deep breaths.

Audrey fell deeply concerned, stepped closer to Jamie, and placed a hand on her shoulder. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to get your heart started.”

Jamie chuckled. “I’m just teasing you. I’m actually okay.”

Audrey didn’t know how to respond to Jamie’s teasing, so she looked down at her low-heeled shoes and cleared her throat.
