Lia breathed in deep, enjoying the scent of freshly baked apple pie that wafted through the air, surrounding her with its inviting warmth. The windows in Chessie’s farmhouse-style kitchen were coated in steam, an indication of how many hours Chessie had been baking. When Lia arrived a half hour earlier, the marble countertop was already covered with three different types of cookies, two apple pies, and a variety of homemade lavender soaps and bath salts.

She sighed. She’d come over to pick up the baked goods and soaps Chessie had offered to make for the families at Meadowview Sanctuary. Instead of handing Lia a cup of tea and inviting her to sit, Chessie had placed a basket of apples in her hands and ordered her to start peeling. Apparently, Chessie had been apple picking at her parents’ farm over the weekend and was having the time of her life baking pies.

“So, Jack’s going to build me a storage shed,” Chessie said.

Lia’s heart did a weird fluttery thing at the mention of Chessie’s brother. Since the night when Jack had made her look at herself, they’d been on another date. He’d taken her for a hike at the river, intent on showing her the site where a pair of bald eagles lived. They’d found the eagles and had watched for a good half hour as the regal pair soared over the water and the large granite boulders that stuck out of the riverbed. Finally, the birds had headed upstream and disappeared around a corner, out of sight.

Jack had kissed her then, a strong kiss, full of heat and teeth and tongue and she’d about melted with the intensity. He’d pulled away and had stared at her face and stroked her hair away from her forehead, She’d waited, barely breathing, hoping he’d come in for another kiss, only his radio had gone off—a grass fire in the south county had been reported, and he was on duty. After hiking back out of the river canyon, he’d dropped her off in front of her loft and promised to text her in a few days.

So far, she hadn’t heard from him. Funny, how she practically itched each time her phone tweeted to let her know she had a text.

Lia realized Chessie was staring at her. Had she been so lost in thought she’d drifted off completely? What had Chessie been talking about? Oh, yes, a storage shed. “Uh…why do you need a storage shed?”

Apparently satisfied Lia was involved in the conversation, Chessie went back to her task, which at the moment was rolling out pie dough. The rolling pin made soft clacking noises as she drew it across the flattened mound. “I need the space to expand.”

“Another business venture?”

Chessie shrugged. “Gotta put that business major to use in some way. Sweet Meadows is doing great, but I’m getting tired of making all the bath and body stuff in my own kitchen. There’s not enough room for all my supplies.”

“That’s nice your brother can help.” Jack would be busy soon, helping Chessie with her storage shed.
