Mason shot to his feet. “I better get going. Thanks for dinner.” He picked up his bowl and silverware.
Pippa’s hand touched his. Fire scorched his arm from the connection. She sucked in a sharp breath and pulled the dish from his hand. Did she feel this too? “I’ve got it. You have a good night at work.”

“Thank you again for everything. You’ve done a lot for my little girl, and I won’t forget it.”
Pippa smiled. “It’s no more than any other decent person would do.”
“I’d say my debt to you is growing.”
“Having to not eat dinner alone was nice. Not that I’m keeping track, but I’d say we’re even.”

Pippa was something else.
