СКАЧАТЬ the plate of boneless chicken breasts she was planning to turn into croquettes for a barbecue that night. She lowered the plate to the counter then stepped away for fear of doing even more damage in her distracted state.

      “What do you mean you think Jesse knows?”

      “I’m not sure. Did you say anything to him?”

      “Me? I haven’t even talked to him yet.” Heidi realized she was whispering even though she was alone in the house. She paced into the living room. “How about you?”

      “I just saw him at a meeting, but he left quickly—like a man with something on his mind. I think he might be on his way to see you.”

      “Here? Me?”

      Heidi stopped cold in the middle of the living room, no longer whispering but bordering on shouting.

      Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

      “Heidi? Are you still there?”

      Yes. Unfortunately she was.

      She made a choking sound thatwould have to pass for confirmation as she edged nearer the front window and peered around the sheer curtains, looking for Jesse’s truck.

      “Actually, I’m surprised he isn’t there yet.”

      “Which site are you at?”

      He told her.

      “That’s only a fewminutes away.When did he leave?”

      “About ten minutes ago.”

      She swallowed hard. If he’d been coming here, he surely would have arrived by now.

      “He hasn’t called?”

      “No.”

      “You’ve had your phone on?”

      “Of course I’ve had my phone on. I may not like what happened, but I’m not about to hide from it.”

      Or whatever happened as a result of it.

      She’d worked on various explanations all morning while cooking for the Johnson barbecue, where she would be both caterer and guest…along with Jesse and probably Kyle and half of Fantasy, Michigan.

      “Are you going to tell him?” Kyle asked quietly.

      Heidi bit her bottom lip. “I don’t know yet. What about you?”

      “I’m kind of playing this by ear.”

      She heard him curse, cutting off her need to do the same.

      Heidi resumed her pacing, staring at the empty driveway every time she headed in that direction.

      If Kyle was right, and Jesse planned on coming to the house, she’d have to face him and make her decision about how to handle the situation sooner than she would have liked. But if given a choice between sooner or later, she supposed it was probably better to get everything out in the open now. If only so they could begin the healing process.

      “You know, there’s always the option of not telling him,” Kyle said softly.

      Heidi gripped the telephone receiver tightly, vivid images of his hands against her skin, the expression on his face as he’d reached climax sliding easily through her mind.

      “I know,” she whispered.

      She heard another voice on his end and he said, “Look, I’ve got to go.”

      “Sure,” she said. “Okay.”

      “Is he there yet?”

      Heidi checked through the curtains again. “No. Not yet.”

      “Okay.”

      She wanted to ask what he was thinking, but decided she had enough to work out without adding his troubles.

      “Heidi?”

      “What?”

      She realized her voice sounded a little impatient, but, damn it, she figured she was entitled.

      So she’d experienced a weak moment. She was only human, right? Surely Kyle should have been the stronger one, stopping what should never have started after she’d kissed him.

      “If you need anything…” he said.

      “Yeah. I know where to find you.”

      “Just call.”

      Oh, trust me, she thought. I will.
