Wait for Me
“He’d been the perfect gentleman on the two hour drive and made sure that he steered clear of any talk of business or of his family; he’d been content to talk about her plans for Christmas and New Year’s and then about their mutual interest in books. All in all, what should have made her feel better, only stood to make Emma feel worse. She really had loved the Montgomery’s and knew that, in time, if Lucas had only given her the chance, she would have fit in with them better than she ever had w...ith her own family. Damn him.
The thought of job hunting over the holidays had not been appealing and Emma silently was thankful for the severance pay that had appeared in her bank account. She’d wanted to decline it and tell William Montgomery what he could do with his money, but it had allowed her the time she needed to just wallow in her own misery until she was ready to look for work.
Luckily, the week before Christmas, a fairly perfect job had opened up; as if it was created just for her. Her favorite bakery was looking for help. Emma only found out about it because she was craving brownies but didn’t want to be bothered making them herself. The small bakery was a family owned business and Emma had frequented it enough that she knew the owners well. They had discussed baking techniques from time to time and so when the holiday orders were becoming too much for them to handle and Emma had walked in on her brownie quest, they had asked her if she’d consider helping them out.MoreLess
