Chapter 9

The weekend had finally arrived! She’d had another fun week of teaching. She felt like she and her students were getting into a rhythm, and that was always a good thing. She knew what to expect of them and they knew what to expect of her.

It was Friday afternoon. Saturday and Sunday loomed ahead of her, promise and hope in the air. She was determined. Andie looked out the window, saw the rain and considered her options. It was time to take control. Her neighbor had just brought over two more boxes. She stared at them for a long moment.

Yes, she could put the end tables and coffee table together all by herself. There was nothing difficult in the process. In fact, she was always amazed at how perfectly engineered the process was. All the pieces fit together perfectly, there was never a shortage of hardware and they all screwed in easily.

But….that didn’t mean she couldn’t play damsel in distress if it suited her purpose.

And her purpose was burning inside of her. Too long! She’d lived here for weeks now. Her finger was much better after a week in the splint, her house was becoming more livable, thanks to a very efficient postal system, and she missed Knox. He hadn’t been to her house for dinner since their day of skiing.

It was time. It was time to fish or cut bait. She’d been shocked when one of her students had used that line, but it was perfect. Especially since her first attempt at fishing had been so successful. So she was trying it again.

Lifting her cell phone, she dialed Knox’s number with trembling fingers, almost missing several of them. She might be determined, but she was still nervous. Rejection or acceptance, either possibility hung in the air. Either option terrified her.

“What’s wrong, Andie?” he demanded as soon as he answered her call.

Andie laughed, hoping that he couldn’t detect her anxiousness in her voice. “Nothing is wrong, of course.”

“How is your hand?”

She smiled and glanced at her finger. “Much better. But you would know that if you’d bothered to come around the other day when I offered you dinner.”

There was a long pause. “I’m sorry Andie. I had a meeting.”

She knew he was lying. But that was fine with her. She was determined now. Enough messing around. She wanted answers. And she wanted Knox. If he didn’t want her, then he was going to have to spell it out for her. No more kissing and then retreating. No more to and fro on the desire that was hanging between them like a thick, heavy fog.

“Well, I have two more large boxes of furniture. Any chance you could help me put them together?” She fiddled with the button on her big shirt as she talked, debating on whether to unbutton it or leave it closed. When he paused, she smiled and released the button.

Into the silence, she considered her words carefully. She knew this man slightly better now. She was playing on his well-ingrained sense of chivalry.
