Chapter 158: Now What?

After Hunter paid their bill, they headed out into the night. Poppy turned to him. “I kind of wanted to take you on a little tour but to tell you the truth, I’m a bit tired.”

He smiled down at her. “We have time. You’ve been on your feet all day. Let’s save the tour for tomorrow.”

Poppy nodded, slipping her hand into his as they walked up the sidewalk toward her apartment. She smiled up at him, and he raised her hand to his lips, brushing them against her knuckles. She felt a pang in her chest. This was Hunter, the man she’d fallen for those months ago. The father of her child. The man she thought she might never see again.

She watched her feet as they walked. So now what? Now that we’ve sorted out the misunderstanding that tore us apart, what happens next? Eventually, he goes back to Idaho. And I have another job interview tomorrow. How do we move forward?

Glancing up at him, she decided to push those thoughts away for another time.
