I practically floated across the parking lot and into my car after leaving the interview. Nancy wasn’t just giving me a job. She was giving me the opportunity to prove to myself and others that I had something worthwhile to offer. And even though I wouldn’t be able to live the life I was used to on what she was paying me, for the first time in my twenty-six years I felt self-reliant and proud.

I was too excited to go home and wanted to celebrate. Calling my parents or Ryan was out. Too many questions would be asked about why I’d gotten a job in the first place. I had already kept the divorce a secret and tonight was not the time to drop that little morsel on their plates. I almost called Sophie but remembered she’d left for a few days on a business trip. Besides, I wanted to see the look on her face when I told her.

With my options dwindling, Hart popped back into my head. Who was I kidding, he’d been popping up since before I left Good Eats. It was no big deal that he was the first person I thought of to share my great news with. He’d inspired me to reach for my dreams and we had become friends. What worried me was how much I wanted to share my great news with him. I was so tied up in getting ready for the interview, it left little time and brain power for me to think about that moment in Hart’s office. Until now. Just the thought of his arms around me, the look in his eyes, and the touch of his fingers on my skin caused goosebumps to scatter over every visible surface of my body and a few that could not be seen by the naked eye.

The next thing I knew, my car was pulling into the rehab parking lot looking for Hart’s car. When it wasn’t in its usual spot, I glanced at my watch, realizing it was past office hours. I wondered if stopping by his house would be overkill. He did say he wanted a full report. And his house was on my way home so it wasn’t as if I’d be making a special trip. I’d stay long enough to tell him my news and leave. Just a friend stopping by to update another friend.

As I got closer to Hart’s house, I saw his car in the driveway. Another car was parked on the street between his place and Miss Polly’s, making it hard to tell which one of them had a visitor. The sun had almost set so the front porch and house were lit up. I pulled in behind Hart’s car. Hesitating for a few seconds, I reconsidered my friendly drop by. In all likelihood, I’d see him tomorrow at the rehab and could tell him then.

Screw it.

I got out of my car and headed up to the porch. There was all kinds of fluttering going on inside my chest, my stomach, and various other regions of my body.
