Chapter Ten

A quaint avenue dusted with leftover snow around the edges was all that was left of last night’s festivities was. Overhead, the sky was clear and pale blue. It was a bustling Saturday afternoon and Warren Avenue was definitely awake.

Do not fall in love. Do not fall in love. Do not fall in love.

Faith parked her truck across the street from Rose’s. Last night with Grant had been more enjoyable than anything she’d done in a long time. Too much fun, in fact. Especially if Lawrence offered her the job in New York. The idea of working on Broadway again was something worth considering. The opportunity to become a wardrobe supervisor didn’t come up every day. If she got the job, it could open up all kinds of possibilities.

Studying the front of the bakery, she stayed where she was for the longest time. Rose’s was closed. It closed at three every day, except Sunday when they closed for the whole day. Through the large windows, she watched Grant disappear into the kitchen area.

He was dressed in his chef’s clothes, which inexplicably made her senses perk up. But then, anything the man wore made her take notice. Last night in his vintage-style outfit, he was so dang attractive.

When he reemerged from the kitchen, she grabbed her purse and climbed out of the truck. Quickly crossing the street, she waved to alert him she was here.

He met her at the door. “You made it. Ready to have some fun?”

Oh yeah. Totally. “There’s no way I would miss learning how to make your famous Christmas fritters.”

“They’re not famous yet.” He helped her with her coat and hung it on the coat tree by the door.

“They will be,” she reassured him firmly.

He hung back, letting her go first. “Matt’s already here.”

“Matt? How come?”

“He’s filming some extra footage to add to the video. We’re handing it off to my editor on Wednesday. Do you want to see the final version before we send it?”

“Are you kidding? Yes.” Wednesday was sooner than she’d thought was possible when they originally talked about making a YouTube video.

They entered the kitchen. As promised, Grant had two workstations set up. The ingredients were already laid out. Matt was waiting with his camera in hand.

Faith put on an apron. “So, what happens after you turn in the video?”

“First, Rachel has to be impressed.” Grant pulled a recipe card from his jacket pocket and placed it by her mixing bowl.

“How could she not be?” Picking up the card, she waved it at Grant. “Is this your secret recipe?”

He grinned. “Maybe.”

“You could assure Rachel’s undivided attention by sending a sample of your Christmas fritters with the video. After eating them, she would have to say yes to your cookbook.”

“You’re cute, you know that?” He grinned crookedly. “That’s a great idea.”

Cute as in . . . what? Was Grant flirting with her?

Nah. Even if he was, it didn’t mean anything.

“All right. Let’s get started.” He turned on Christmas music and nodded at Matt, who began filming.
