want him to leave me the hell alone.
Mustering the shreds of my sanity—and again marveling at Alex Fraser’s ability to turn me into a witless idiot—I straighten and smile at Joe.
“I’m good, Joe. It’s just warm in here.”
“Take care.” Joe reaches out for a strand of my hair before jerking his hand back. I study the hand hovering awkwardly in the air, puzzled.
“Right.” With that Joe retreats hastily into the kitchen, leaving me staring after him.
I can’t even contemplate his gesture at that moment, not with Alex Fraser eating whole-wheat pancakes, which aren’t even on the menu, across the room. Our cook specializes in grease, and I wonder how Alex charmed her into making something special.
Besides, Joe’s near touch doesn’t bring butterflies and nerves and want and need all rolled into one tangled ball to my stomach.
I look across that room to where the one who does is sitting. He is watching me intently, his coffee cup hiding his lips, but I get the impression that he is amused.
Right. He can probably get any woman, anywhere, to do anything.
What are my options? I can hide in the kitchen until he’s gone, begging Susannah to take his table, or I can be an adult and warm up his coffee, make small talk, and present him his bill.
In my heart I know that the latter is the only option that I will really consider. No matter that I’ve embarrassed myself in front of him with my awkwardness, I feel drawn to him like a moth to the light.
I want to be around him, want to spend time with him, whatever I have to do.
