Hope slid down from the high chair. “Busy day tomorrow. The fire department is inspecting the building and if we don’t pass they’ll revoke our certificate of occupancy. But you all stay and have fun.”
“Don’t have to ask me twice. Mom’s got the girls.” Karen looked at Stacy.
“I’m free. Tim has a late meeting.”
“I’ll see you both tomorrow. This was really great,” she said. “Good night, Jake.”
He stood beside her. “I’ll walk you to your car.”
“I’m parked just across the street.” It was an effort to keep her tone light when her heart was beating like crazy. “Don’t bother.”
“It’s no bother.” He smiled at the other two women. “See you later.”
Then he settled his palm at the small of her back, escorting her through the crowded bar and into the chill air of the late-January night. Hope felt the pressure and heat of his fingers. Just that casual touch made her heart pound and her knees wobble. It wasn’t okay and she stepped away from him as they walked side by side across the dark, hardly used street between the strip mall and the recently black-topped hospital lot.
“My car is by the E.R. entrance,” she said and walked as fast as she could toward it.
“Do you have somewhere to be?”
Glancing up at his profile, the lean line of his cheek and jaw she said, “No. Why?”
“Then you’re cold?”
His touch had gone a long way to taking the chill out of the dark night. “A little. Why?” she asked again.
