Ten oâclock the next morning Grace received a phone call from Wyatt, who was at his office in San Antonio.
âAre you melting?â he asked.
âActually, weâre doing fine. I gave Mrs. Perkins the day off. I hope you donât mind.â
âIâm glad you did. Itâs too hot for her to cook. The earliest I can get someone out there to look at the air conditioner is eleven this morning.â
âIâm amazed youâve managed that,â Grace replied.
âIt took bribery, but the guy is a friend of Gabeâs and heâs coming. I think weâll need a new unit, so it probably means another hot night.â
âWeâll manage.â
âIâm getting the house here aired out and then cooled down. Iâll come get you two for dinner and weâll stay here in town tonight. I canât get to the ranch until around four.â
âWeâre doing great. When she had her bath, I let Megan play in the water this morning for a long time and then we went outside where thereâs a breeze. The crib is still outside in the shade. Iâll be careful and see that she doesnât get too hot.â
âSure. The house in town has a pool. Bring your swimsuit.â
âThanks, Mr. Sawyer,â Grace replied dryly, trying to remind him of their employer-nanny relationship. âI believe I promised I wouldnât wear anything like a swimsuit around you.â
âThat was before the air-conditioning broke down. I wonât pay any attention to you and even if I do, you wonât let it do me any good. Bring your suit and enjoy yourself. Think you can take the heat until four?â
âYes, Wyatt. Tonight you and Megan should go to your place and I can stayââ
âSee you at four. I have to run. We can talk when I see you,â he said, and broke the connection.
Glaring at the phone, she replaced the receiver. Her pulse skittered at the thought of eating dinner with him and spending the evening with him.
To her surprise, Wyatt was home by half-past three. From the moment he entered the house, she was acutely aware of him. After showering, he changed to a blue, short-sleeved shirt, jeans and his snakeskin boots. He looked incredibly handsome, and she again reminded herself to keep things impersonal and cool between them.
Grace had dressed in one of her plain jumpers and white, short-sleeved blouses, and she had Megan in a pink sundress.
As they drove to town, he talked about his day at work again, about the air conditioner and listened to her tell him every detail about Megan. They ate a long, leisurely dinner in a casual restaurant on the River Walk, and Megan seemed to enjoy the outing as much as the adults. Grace fed her bites from a jar of baby carrots, orange soon dotting the bib tied around Meganâs neck.
âItâs a small world, Grace,â Wyatt said, standing and dropping his napkin in his chair.
A couple approached, and a smiling, slightly graying man shook Wyattâs hand. An attractive, older blond woman, dripping with jewelry, gave Wyatt a frosty smile and Grace a cold stare.
