Being busy reminded me of the days when Lila was here beside me. It had been her kitchen then. She\u2019d sip a cup of tea. I\u2019d complain about there being no decent coffee within ten miles. We\u2019d laugh. Time had felt endless. Heavy footsteps heading for the kitchen snapped me back to the present. \u201cMim.\u201d Callan was up, and he sounded pissed off. \u201cYou know I don\u2019t mind you coming over, but\u2026\u201d His broad shoulders crowded the doorway. Sunblock was smeared in a white line across his forehead, but his hands froze midair as if he\u2019d forgotten how to rub it in.<\/p>\n

He stared at the mess in the kitchen. \u201cSorry!\u201d I grabbed a dish towel and swiped up the avalanche of flour that had spilled over the countertop. \u201cI thought I\u2019d have time to clean before you got up. Here.\u201d I slid over the plate of breakfast muffins.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrab one.\u201d Matilda beamed up at him. \u201cThey yummy!\u201d She made a point of showing him how good she could stir the big spoon. \u201cWe cooking!\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t say?\u201d Reaching for a muffin, Callan cocked his head at me with a wry grin. \u201cI really am sorry,\u201d I said. \u201cQuit apologizing. I told you. You\u2019re welcome anytime. I guess I just thought no one got up earlier than me.\u201d \u201cMatilda\u2019s body clock is tuned to daybreak.\u201d \u201cYeah?\u201d He grinned at her. \u201cWe might make a little farmer out of you yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

He bit a hunk out of the muffin and groaned. My eyes blew wide open. I clenched the dish towel as I mopped up more flour. Another groan rumbling in his chest sent me into a cleaning frenzy. This was Callan. The boy next door. My last genuine friend.<\/p>\n
