“You weren’t scared.”

“Don’t bet on it. What are you doing here this early? Did you really get up just to get details about me and Tasha?”

There. He’d said the words. Their names as a couple. Just as she wanted him to do.

“Actually, the world doesn’t revolve around my matchmaking.”

“Did you practice saying that in the mirror? No way you could pull it off on the first try that seriously.”

And that was another reason she liked Baker so much. He wasn’t afraid to give it to her like any of her children.

“I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.”

“More than a few.”

“I have to pick up Mason’s kids and bring them to school. Jessica has an appointment and can’t do it and Mason should be here soon with them.”

Which meant it was perfect timing for her to slide into his office and give him a hard time.

“Then you better go before you miss them.”

“Not happening.” She looked at her watch. “He’ll be here in ten minutes. Yesterday was a free pass. Today isn’t.”

Might as well be right in his face with it now. He’d expect no different.

He put his laptop on his desk, opened it up and sat down, then started typing into it. “What is it you want to know?”

He didn’t look up at her.

“You’re giving me a free pass?”

“Hell no,” he said, laughing. “You can ask, but it doesn’t mean I’ll answer.”

“How many questions can I ask?”

He lifted his eyes under his lashes. “Two.”

That was twice what she was hoping for.

“Do you and Micah get along well?”

“We do.”

Which meant he spent a lot of time with the toddler. She just had to phrase the questions properly.

She was tapping her finger to her chin. Her last one was going to be hard.

“You thanked me for knowing what you needed when you didn’t. So that means you’re in love.”

“That’s not a question,” he said when she looked at him hopeful.

She pursed her lips. “How does your family feel about Tasha?”

“My sister really likes her,” he said.

Nothing about his parents and she’d let that go since she was here yesterday when there was drama. Mason either didn’t know what any of that meant or he wasn’t saying.

Probably the last.
