"You know that as ht?" Amy asked "Because I didn’t need a man to make me whole I just needed to open myself up to new experiences The rinned "Ditto"

"Well, thankfully, I don’t need a man to make e in my life"

"Liar," A walker and part-time nanny It’s temporary Very teuns"

Mallory pulled out her phone, thue, and showed it to Grace The latest entry read:

Ladies, our favorite doc, Josh Scott, is actively seeking a new nanny Many have applied, and all have been turned down by his interim nanny, Grace Brooks

Is she just being extraordinarily careful?

Or is she saving the position for herself?

A picture is worth a thousand words…

Acco this was indeed a picture, taken froarten classroo his award

The class was full of proud, s parents

And in the back of the rooe, a flush on her cheeks

That wasn’t thejust behind her, his arms around her, his shoulders much broader than hers, his jaw pressed to her te about the stance, the body language, the way the air practically shimmered between theht to her that a sheet of paper wouldn’t have fit

"Well that’s just…" Grace trailed off Sexy

Hot

In fact, she was getting a hot flash right now

"Standing a little close, aren’t you, for nanny and the professor?" Amy asked dryly

"Doctor," Grace said absently "He’s a doctor"

"So is that why he’s close enough to take your body temperature without a thermometer?"

Grace shook her head "This picture couldn’t have been taken even an hour ago" And that wasn’t all She looked happy in that picture

"The good stuff travels fast in Lucky Harbor," Amy said "You know that"

"And that’s not the only fast thing," Mallory said "You guys have moved pretty fast"

"Says the woht she ht," Mallory said primly

"This picture was taken out of context," Grace co Then she shook her head "Um, so how do you take a picture out of context?"

Amy snorted

"The classroo roo how his arms look quite comfortable around her," Mallory noted to Amy

"And notice the postcoital look about her," Amy offered back

Grace bit her lower lip and stared at the picture She did see did such a thing last anyway?

Josh didn’t have the glow Even though technically he’d been the last one to, uh and tulow Grace bit her lip harder at the thought "We haven’t been together Not exactly"

"Not exactly?" Amy asked, brows up "Is that what you kids call it these days?"

Mallory cracked up at this, and Grace sighed "It’s more like coitus interruptus Twice Once because he was called into work and another because he fell asleep"

Arinned "Anyone ever tell you you’re supposed to keep the but her question was serious "So are you two going to be a real thing, then, not just a fun thing?"

Soht, but she couldn’t decide if it was a good clench or a bad one Liar, liar… "I’ve run the numbers," she said "It wouldn’t work First of all, he’s a doctor He gets a lot of points taken off for that"

"People usually add points for doctors," Mallory said

"Not me," Grace said "I was raised by a few of theood relationship material"

Mallory squeezed her hand "Honey, Josh isn’t like your fa"

"Not to mention hot as hell," Amy added

Grace shook her head "Sorry, the points are already deducted And taking into account his schedule, and then the standard deviation froure ninety percent of his tiet uninterrupted coitus"

"Penis math," Amy said "Iuy shouldn’t date an accountant"

"I’m not an accountant," Grace corrected "I’irl-slash-irlfriend?" Arabbed a cupcake, stood, and headed to the door

"Aw," Arab a second one for Josh Chocolate is the next best thing to sex…"
