The days went by and I was relieved that Leighton had not only bounced back pretty quickly from the dehydration but been willing to eat and drink more consistently. He did pay attention.

I helped him, though, by making sure that he had a smoothie to take with him after every breakfast that he shared with me in the bakery kitchen. I also added a sandwich for his lunch.

Every time I packed the food up, I threatened, “Be very afraid, Mr. Absent-Minded Inventor! I have spies everywhere who will tell me if you don’t eat and drink what I give you!”

I thought about how far I’d come this year.

Still living with my brother and Jerry. But that was strategic and they were thrilled that I was starting my business.

Graduated from my culinary program and opened my bakery.

Survived the stalker.

Met a dreamboat of a man. Almost missed him (saved by interfering friends, thank goodness!) but together.

Thinking about the progress I’d made, I was nearly ready to go back to the Community Center. I had not told Leighton yet that, for some years now, I’d been one of their volunteer teachers of kickboxing to seven-year-olds.

When my burger-boy stalker didn't seem to want to leave me alone last winter, I told the director of the center that I was going to suspend my volunteer teaching for a while. I told her, “I simply cannot bring that risk of violence to the center and the kids. When it's all settled, I'll be back.”

However, the center director reminded me that I was also opening a new business soon. She simply told me, “Samantha, you dear, dear woman! Rest assured that the center has been around for many years. We’ll be around once you get your bakery up and running. Take your time with that. Get that stalker situation resolved. We’ll be here when you're ready again.”

At dinner one evening the following week, I told Leighton about my plan.

When I finished, and he’d asked a couple of questions, “I haven’t called the center director yet. I thought I would pop in tomorrow night at the seven-year olds’ class time to see her. Do you wanna come? It's a big piece of my childhood.”

“I want to know everything about you. Of course, I’ll come with you. But …”

He looked worried!

“What, baby?”

He clutched his groin area, “You’ll protect me from those little kickboxing legs of theirs, won’t you?” Then he burst out with that sexy, deep laughter of his.

I took a conspiratorial tone, “You’re safe with me, honey bunny!”
