“Why not? We could say we talked late into the night.” He looked at his clock. “That’s not a lie.”

She worried her lip. This was insane. He knew that, right? “I don’t know.”

“It’s the perfect plan. Say you’ll do this with me.”

Aiden seemed so convinced this would work, Felicity almost believed him. “All right.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them. But Aiden looked so happy, she couldn’t take it back. He grinned at her. “Great. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

Felicity sat staring at the back of the door long after Aiden left. A foreboding feeling settled in on her as she thought about what would happen tomorrow when Aiden announced they were back together.

This was a bad idea, she could tell. But there wasn’t anything she could do about it now.

Chapter 17

Aiden walked into thekitchen and reached for a piece of bacon. Grams turned around so fast, he thought maybe she’d fall over. “Don’t you dare.” She lightly slapped his hand back. “You wait until Felicity gets down here.”

He gave her an innocent look. “I was just making sure they turned out okay. Might be embarrassing for you if the bacon is too soggy or something.”

Grams scoffed at him, but he saw the hint of a smile tugging on her lips. “You just sit over there. I’m making pancakes.”

“I’ll grab the eggs.”

“Thank you.”

Aiden opened the refrigerator and pulled out the plastic bucket that held the eggs. Only a few left. He’d have to pay the boy up the road to bring a few more.

Grams gave him a sideways glance. “What has you all chipper this morning?”

“Chipper?”

“You were humming.”

He was? He hadn’t noticed. But this was the perfect opportunity to unfold his plan. “No reason. Just had a great evening last night.”

She raised her eyebrows. “You did?”
