“We can climb to the top if you wanna,” Kyle suggested, eager to take off.
“Hold on,” Stella said, grabbing her son by the arm. “It’ll be dusk soon. No mountain climbing tonight.”
“Oh, all right.” Kyle twisted. “Then what can we do?”
Adam leaned down. “How ’bout we go in that shop over there and look at the toys. Maybe we can find you a coloring book or a miniature race car for your collection.”
“You’d do that for me?”
“Why, sure.” Then Adam looked at Stella. “I mean, if it’s okay by your mom.”
Stella bristled at Adam’s ready generosity, but told herself to cut the man some slack. He seemed to need to be generous. He actually seemed to care. Which was refreshing if not disturbing. “I guess one racer wouldn’t hurt. Just one more for me to step on, but who’s counting?”
“I only need three more,” Kyle said, holding up three fingers. “Then I’ll have the whole co-wet-sion.”
“It’s collection,” Stella corrected, grinning.
“Well, then, we’d better get started,” Adam said, his stern expression breaking into a smile.
Stella had no choice but to hurry and follow her son and the new man in her life across the street.
The new handyman, she revised. He’s not in my life, he’s just here. He just appeared here. Out of the blue, she reminded herself. Like a gift from heaven. Either a gift or a very big mistake. Stella wasn’t sure which just yet. But she was sure of one thing. Adam Callahan looked dangerous, and not just because he carried the baggage of a burned-out cop. More like, because he was so good-looking and so intense. Just like her dead husband had once been. Good-looking and intense made for a whole slew of heartaches. And Stella would not make that mistake again, no matter how impressed she was with Adam Callahan’s muffins.
