the shelter of her bungalow. At first while they were riding the rain had come down in tiny drops but now it poured down in a steady stream. As soon as she got inside, she headed for a much needed shower.
    Twenty minutes later, Maggie was curled up in her bed, covers to her chin. She just needed to rest, it had been a wild night for a girl like her. She never went out, hadn’t drank since one night in high school and that was quite awhile ago. Maggie McCoy was one sick woman in need of a bit of pampering. She was going to sleep until everything she had done in the last twelve hours wore off.

Chapter Four
    Sunlight filtered through the wooden blinds and Maggie shifted the bedspread to cover her face. How long had she been sleeping? She snuggled into her covers until a hard knock on her door made her leap out of bed. Man, she was so jumpy lately! Grabbing her short robe off the bathroom hook, Maggie opened the front door. No one was there until she heard a little doggie sound and looked down.
    She laughed and shifted herself to Jax’s level. He sat there on his hind legs, tongue hanging out, his ears perked. “What’s going on, little fellow? ” Maggie instinctively reached out to pet him and then saw the little bag attached to Jax’s collar. “What’s this? What is your master up to?” She reached in the bag to retrieve a note.
    Maggie smiled when she saw who it was from. She sat on the floor in front of Jax and read the note while he tried to jump on her.
    Maggie McCoy...you have just been invited to breakfast on the veranda. I’ll see you in twenty. Take the steps to the second floor balcony. Don’t say no, the view is amazing up here! Jake Hatfield
    Exactly twenty minutes later Maggie was taking the steps one at a time smiling. She felt pretty good today, her mind was clear and focused. Breakfast with Jake would be just the thing to start her day. When she got to the top of the steps she stopped dead in her tracks. Set out before her was a very romantic scene overlooking the bay. A white cloth was draped over the round table, it’s edges hanging a bit on one side, but that’s what made it so crazy cool. Jake put a lot of time and thought into staging a romantic themed breakfast. The table was set for two with square yellow plastic plates and matching plastic flat wear the color of a bright sun. A bunch of flowers of different varieties in purple, pink, white and orange were plopped in a glass vase, a bit crooked but to Maggie it was perfect. Two small candles sat on a large saucer, it’s light flickering back and forth the wax dripping here and there..
    “Very nice Jake,” Maggie gushed. He pulled out a chair that was covered with another white sheet tied with rope to keep it in place.
    “Sit,” he ordered. “It’s my treat today to make up for the way you were treated the other night.”
    Maggie looked at him. “The other night? You mean last night?”
    He shook his head. “I’m afraid not. You slept for about a day and a half.”
    Maggie groaned. “I don’t think I ever slept that long in my life,” she mumbled. She reached for the cup of coffee he set down and took a sip. It had a slight taste of hazelnut. “This is good Jake, thanks.”
    He winked at her. “You haven’t seen anything yet, Maggie. I’ll be right back.”He grabbed their plates from the table, letting the screen door slam as he went inside. She sat looking over the deck at the beautiful sky. The clouds were so white and big and seemed so close she wanted to reach out to touch them. It truly was paradise and he was making it even more so by his kind gesture this morning.
    Jake came out carrying two plates and placed them on the table before he sat down. He was in his famous low cut shorts that hung tight and low on his hips. A sleeveless white cotton t shirt clung to his abs for dear life. Maggie was thinking she didn’t know where she wanted to start first and then laughed to herself. Get your mind out of the gutter,
