Cal only nodded. He wasn’t going to, but it wasn’t worth saying anything more to her.
When he finished up, he moved to the front. His grandfather was shaking his head. “What?” he asked his grandfather.
“That woman that just left. She doesn’t know you own this store, does she?”
“I don’t think so,” he said. “Why? What did she say?”
“She was chatting to me about you. That you went to school together and she was surprised you still worked here but that you were friends. She thinks you’re hot and wanted me to put a good word in for her.”
He rolled his eyes. “Yeah. I know what she wants. She made it a point to say she was back in the area and just ditched her husband. I wasn’t good enough for her in high school and I’m sure the hell not now. Not for anything more than fun.”
His grandfather laughed. “Nothing wrong with some fun now and again.”
“No,” he said. “But why waste my time with someone that doesn’t understand me?”
“You’ve got a point,” his grandfather said. “But if you don’t spend any time with someone, you don’t know if they can understand you or not.”
He sighed. “Megan can’t,” he said. “So you can drop that one.”
Didn’t mean that maybe he shouldn’t give it a try with the sexy attorney though.
The one that he couldn’t get out of his mind the past few days.
Not since he emailed Brian and Brian replied putting Mia on the chain for the information too.
He’d be talking to Mia soon and he’d play it by ear.
It was what he seemed to do most in his life anyway and it was working for him.

PLENTY OF TIME
“She’s so tiny still,” Mia said to her sister on Saturday night when she was holding her niece.
“You don’t think she’s tiny when you’re pushing her out of you,” Morgan said.
She heard Cooper coughing in the kitchen where he was putting dinner together. Her sister had never been the cook of the family. Caden either really. It was the one thing she seemed to find enjoyment in more than her siblings.
Too bad she never had time to do much cooking before.
Now she seemed to have a ton of time to do it. Well, not a ton compared to other people that might work a forty-hour workweek. This past month she was lucky she spent fifty in the office, which was only working through her lunch most times.
She’d come home and do some work too but not like she had in the past.
So far, long gone were the seventy-hour workweeks and back then she still didn’t feel as if she’d ever catch up or get her work done.
“She was eight pounds,” she said.
“Don’t remind me,” Morgan said. “Thanks again, Cooper. Mia and I were tiny babies.”
“Eli was over nine pounds. You could have had a longer labor like Sarah too,” she pointed out.
“No, thank you. I’ll take that as a positive. Do you want to feed her?”
“I’d love to,” she said. Leah was starting to stir in her arms and move around.
Morgan stood up and walked to the kitchen. Her sister looked great for someone who’d given birth seven weeks ago.
