Excerpt
“Good Morning, Grace.”
Grace
gaped and slowed on the porch steps of Brewster’s. The other half of her
child’s DNA sat across from Pops. Ethan in his worn boots, faded flannel shirt
and baseball cap smiled at her, stirring warmth through her. He returned his
attention to the chessboard as if he’d been playing with her grandfather for
years. As if this was their morning routine. As if he belonged here on this
porch, waiting for her.
Waiting
for her to confess.
Grace’s
hand drifted to her stomach, her slight bump concealed beneath her jacket. Why
did the truth have to be so complicated?
Still
she couldn’t quite stall that swirl of warmth inside her from seeing Ethan.
She
should be hot from irritation. She should be annoyed with Ethan for intruding
on her usual morning routine. She always shared coffee and stories with her
grandfather before the store opened. Before the other employees arrived. Before
the customers took over the day.
Except
this morning, they were a trio, rather than a duo. What was it with people
inserting themselves where they didn’t belong? First, there was Sarah Ashley
trying to step into the family business for the first time ever, and now,
Ethan.
Was
it so wrong that Grace wanted one thing to remain the same? To remain normal?
In six months, nothing about her life would be either. But she could at least
have her usual mornings with Pops, couldn’t she? Surely that wasn’t too much to
ask.
“Sit
down, Gracie.” Pops pointed at the empty rocking chair beside Ethan. The same
one she sat in every morning while she listened to Pops reminisce about her
grandmother or his childhood. “Your Ethan here, he already took care of your
morning chores for you.” He eyed Ethan over the rims of his glasses and
grinned. “Can’t ever get this girl to sit. But I got her good this morning,
thanks to you.”
“I
can make more coffee.” Ethan’s hand was on a stack of file folders. He glanced
at her, and his guarded tone suggested he thought she needed several cups to
tackle the Blackwell books.
“I’ve
been making the effort to switch to tea.” Grace reached inside her purse for
her special ginger tea. She was going to need to steep more than one bag this
morning. Sitting next to Ethan was unsettling. She cleared her throat to smooth
the accusation out of her voice and looked at him. “You’re up early.”
“Trying
to get some errands done before Katie notices I’ve left.” Ethan placed a hand
on his white knight and started to move the piece, but then paused to consider
the chessboard as if everything hinged on this one particular move.
Whereas
for Grace, everything hinged on her baby and keeping her stomach from objecting
to the morning’s excitement. Would Ethan expect her to say checkmate
when she told him about the baby? As if she’d neatly trapped him into being a
dad. And what about marriage? She didn’t want Ethan to offer to marry her
because she was carrying his child. But would he believe her?
“Keeping
ahead of Katie Montgomery is almost as impossible as staying a step ahead of
our Gracie.” Pops stuck his elbows out and leaned on his knees, as if
anticipating Ethan’s move. As if Ethan proved a challenge to her grandfather.
Ethan shifted his knight, taking Pops’s bishop. Pops rubbed his chin.
“Sometimes you get lucky.”
Maybe
Grace would get lucky and Ethan would confess he’d always wanted to be a father
and couldn’t think of another person he wanted to have a child with other than
Grace. The tea bag crinkled in her fist. What a ridiculous thought.
Only
fools relied on luck.
