Doc watched as she ignored her mother and brushed right past her.He wasn’t used to seeing his little girl so upset.Turning off his ignition, he made his way up toward Nancy, who looked worried.
“You’re going to have to give her some space.”
“I’m worried she’s wasting her life.I’ve never known her to be this flighty.She usually knows exactly what she wants, and it keeps her mind focused.”
“It’s a lot for a kid to deal with.”
“She’s eighteen!”
“Not all kids have a path mapped out for themselves before then.”He stepped back.“You want her to keep running away, you keep chasing her off.You want her to stay and talk to you, stop nagging her.”
Chapter Six
Maeve stood in lineat the coffee shop.
She’d woken up late, and this never happened to her.There was no way she was ever a late riser.She loved to get up early, and stuck into her day.Lying in bed was never relaxing.However, she couldn’t help but admit it was one of the best sleeps she’d ever experienced.
She felt well rested, and that was what this break was supposed to be all about.After washing her face and doing her morning skin care, she’d made her way downstairs to find Razor already preparing Eden’s breakfast.Her little sister was already experiencing morning sickness, and she hated that Eden was going through that.
Razor suggested if she wanted coffee, she might want to try the local coffee shop.It had been too long since she last came here, so that was exactly what she was going to do.
She was rather excited about it.
A nice large mocha latte, or a matcha, or whatever they had to offer, with a sticky bun.That was in line for her breakfast that morning, while she tried not to think about Doc.
His warm, muscular arms felt so good wrapped around her body.She didn’t want him to ever stop holding her.
Just the memory of it felt so damn good.
“You know, I hear these have the best coffee, even better than the diner.”
It was like her thinking about him had magically escorted him to her.He stood right behind her, and she couldn’t help but turn her head and offer him a smile.
“Doc.”
“Maeve.”
