She reached into the backseat to grab the dessert box she’d brought, then followed AJ to the bright green front door He strode into the house without knocking, calling out a cheerful hello

"We’re out back," came a muffled male response

Froan she’d worn, andhot and sweaty

AJ gave her a quick tour on their way to the rear of the house They stopped in a spacious, cozy kitchen so Brett could put the pie in the fridge, then walked through the sliding door onto a large outdoor patio The weathered deck led down to a sarden There was a patio there as well, and Brett’s pulse sped up as she spotted AJ’s parents

Blond hair like their son, but AJ had gotten his green eyes from his father His mom’s were deep broith thick eyelashes and faint wrinkles around the edges

AJ wasted no ti his folks He slapped hands with his dad, then hugged hisback to introduce Brett
