He turned to look at her with a smile.
“It’s okay. I’m getting some exercise and spending time with my favorite girls. It’s still a great morning.”
“Maybe she’ll be here tomorrow.”
“Maybe.”
Or maybe he should schedule that massage.
He knew she wouldn’t count that as the Universe’s sign because it wasn’t serendipity bringing them together, but it’d still be good to see her.
“Have you texted her?”
“No. I didn’t think she’d want to hear from me.”
Both girls looked at him like he had lobsters growing out of his ears.
“You didn’t even text to tell her you had a good time?”
“No. I was trying to be respectful!”
Kailey’s sigh was reminiscent of the sighs Susan used to give him. “Oh, Dad,” she patted his arm condescendingly. “It’s a good thing you’re handsome.”
“And rich,” his youngest added.
“I got the impression she didn’t care about that.”
“About what? The handsome part or the rich part?”
“Both. She’s got her own money, and I think she’s much more interested in my aura than my looks.”
Kailey turned to Brianna. “We’ve got our work cut out for us.”
Brianna nodded wisely. “Maybe you could start by texting her.”
“I wouldn’t even know what to say.”
Kailey shrugged. “Ask her to dinner.”
“I already told you—”
Brianna interjected, “Tell her you had a good time with her at the Cape and that you miss her. When she responds, go from there.”
“Ifshe responds…”
Kailey nodded toward the phone in his pocket. “Only one way to find out.”
“I’m not texting her right now in front of you!”
“Okay, but just make sure you do it after you drop us off. You’ve already waited too long.”

Aiden sat in bed staring at his phone.
The girls were right—it’d been too long, almost a week. He couldn’t text her now.
Yet, he found himself opening the texting app and scrolling through his contacts until he came to hers. He’d put her in as Sunshine.
