With the sitter gone and Molly sleeping peacefully upstairs, Frankie stood at the window and gazed at the flickering shadows as the tree branches swayed in the moonlight. In her hand she clutched her mother's note. No matter how many times she'd read it, it brought tears to her eyes. Knowing Mom couldn't write left-handed didn't take the sting out of the impersonal computer printout. The previous night, Frankie had finally managed to fall asleep shortly before dawn. When she got up, the note was on the kitchen table, propped against the sugar bowl.

Didn't want to wake you. Took a cab to the airport. Will be in California tonight. Don't worry. Everything's all right. I'll call.

Now, she glared at the phone, willing it to ring. What did "everything's all right" mean? Bob's sister? The finances? Her happiness? Should she start looking for a place to live? If she did, that would mean no Brenda. She'd have to find suitable after-school care for Molly. Or could she convince Brenda to move in with her, make some kind of arrangement like she had here?

Stop it. Until she talked to Mom, there was no point in trying to look at everything that could go wrong. What could go right?

She had a job—two, really, although she'd be glad when she could say good bye to the Three Elks. Will Loucas at the Photo Barn would take her work on consignment.

When she'd spoken with Mr. Anisman about using the school's darkroom, he'd said he'd look into her teaching night school photography, too. Forget that it meant sitters for Molly. If the classes were early enough, maybe she could come along. And selling a couple of pictures would cover baby-sitting expenses with money left over.

And where did Ryan fit into this puzzle? Never mind that merely thinking about him made her ache with longing. One look, and she was wet. Kissing him was like nothing she'd ever experienced. But that was sex, and she'd been that route.

Despite his recent willingness to include Molly in his invitations, she wasn't convinced he actually wanted a relationship, much less a ready-made family. She wished that she hadn't accepted the riding invitation. You'd think she'd have learned not to make decisions while she was…preoccupied.
