      “Gloria is intent on returning the favor and finding me a wife. She’s the matchmaking type.”

      The coffee stopped sputtering and Matt turned back to the counter to pour coffee. He grabbed two mugs, both with fire-station logos across the side. He glanced back to find her still entranced by the information on his fridge. He shook his head wryly. Most people preferred to admire his backyard or the kitchen renovations, but Rachel was different.

      “Who’s this?” she asked, pointing to another photo. “Your parents?”

      “That’s them. They’re retired in Arizona now.”

      “They look nice...”

      “What about your parents?” he asked.

      “They both passed away,” she replied. “My aunt is the closest family I’ve got.”

      “I’m sorry to hear that.”

      She didn’t answer but slowly turned away from the refrigerator and accepted the hot mug of taupe coffee with a smile of thanks. She took a slow sip, her long lashes brushing her cheeks as she closed her eyes in a sigh of contentment.
