I woke up regretting putting that note there last night and snuck over later in the morning to retrieve it, but Ella had already grabbed it.
Dang it.
What had I been thinking? Asking a newly pregnant widow if she’d consider a relationship with me in the future? I’d screwed that up for sure.
“You’re pacing like a bull in mating season. What’s the matter with you?” Maggie asked behind me, and I jumped. I’d forgotten she was back this morning. Ruthie had picked her up from the airport and dropped her off.
“Maggie!” I pulled her in for a hug, and she looked up at me.
“Lyme disease, honey? That’s scary. You taking the pills?”
I nodded. “Ella has been nursing me while you were gone.”
Maggie seemed pleased with that and started tinkering in the kitchen.
I decided that pacing the house wasn’t going to do any good, so I went out to meet Russel and get to work.
I hoped Ella wouldn’t come into work on Monday because I wasn’t sure I could look her in the eye after sending that note. Stupid.
