“Great. I’ll do that.”
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow for your baking class. What time?”

“Pleasure.”
“I’ll wash up my mug,” she offered.
“No, it’s fine. I’m going to be a while cleaning up,” he said. “A mug won’t make any difference.”
“OK. Well—see you tomorrow.”
“See you,” he said. “And, Stacey?”
“Yes?”
“Thank you. I really appreciate you helping me.”

About the Author
When she’s not writing books, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shirley Jump competes in triathlons, mostly because all that training lets her justify mid-day naps and a second slice of chocolate cake. She’s published more than 60 books in 24 languages, although she’s too geographically challenged to find any of those countries on a map.
Visit her website at shirleyjump.com for author news and a booklist, and follow her on Facebook at facebook.com/shirleyjump.author for giveaways and deep discussions about important things like chocolate and shoes.
