She’d be fired in a second.
Connor and Hunter wouldn’t stop fighting with each other. Hunter pushed Connor for walking too close. Then Connor pushed him back for pushing him. Why in the world had she thought taking the boys to the fair was a good idea? She’d really thought they’d be so excited and distracted by the sights that they’d behave.
She already had a headache and after a few hours, was more than ready to leave. But the boys were just getting started and wanted to ride the rides. Which would surely be a hassle because the older boys couldn’t handle waiting in line, and Aiden wasn’t tall enough to go on the big-kid rides. Hunter and Connor wouldn’t want to go on the little-kid rides with him, either.
Up ahead she saw the building that had bees and honey products. Maybe the boys would stare at the live bees for a while and give her a minute to breathe.
“Wanna see some bugs?” she asked them.
Hunter and Connor both said, “Yeah!”
But Aiden looked scared. “What kind of bugs?”
She leaned over to whisper to him. “Bees, but they’re all in a glass case where they can’t get out and hurt you. Okay?”
He nodded and they walked toward the building.
Inside, they did look at the bees for a little while, then they wanted honey.
“I’m sure there’s a booth somewhere that sells honey sticks.” She looked over and saw a large banner that read “Bear Natural Honey.” The table below had many honey-related products, including flavored honey sticks. And behind the table was one of the hottest men she’d ever seen.
Big and muscular, he was tall and had enchanting eyes. She couldn’t help but stare at him. His blond hair fell into his eyes and he brushed it away.
“I see some,” she said, and dragged Aiden over to the table. Hunter and Connor followed, pushing each other again.
When they got to the table, she told them, “Each of you can pick out two.” She smiled at the man. “Hi.”
He smiled back and she almost melted. The boys started pawing through the honey sticks and finally chose their flavors.
“We’ll take six,” she said. She handed him two dollars.
“How do I get this thing open?” Connor asked.
Harmony looked at the stick. She didn’t see any place to open it. She tried squeezing the ends, but that did nothing. She looked over at the man. “Help?”
He took the stick from her and pinched it in his thick fingers just below where she had tried to do the same thing.
“You have to find just the right spot.” He winked at her.
He looked like he would find just the right spot, indeed. Her face went warm at the thought and she looked away.
Then Hunter and Connor, like they always did, started fighting.
“That one is mine!” Hunter said.
“No, I had the cherry one,” Connor said.
Hunter pushed him. “You had strawberry. The cherry one is mine!”
The man pulled another cherry honey stick from the display and handed it to her. “Here. Just take another cherry one.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that.”
He waved it off. “No problem. Better than hearing them fight.”
She handed the cherry honey stick to Hunter.
But then Aiden said, “Hey! He got three! I only got two.”
She closed her eyes and sighed. Of course it couldn’t be that easy. “Just charge me for three more.”
Then Aiden and Connor went back to the display and pulled out two more sticks.
“I guess they get to be a lot, huh?” the man asked. He looked like he was somewhat horrified at their fighting.
“Yeah. They really don’t pay me enough. Some days I can’t wait to get home.” Maybe if she made it clear that it bothered her, too, it wouldn’t ruin her chances with him.
He pulled his eye brows together. “They’re not yours?”
“No.” She chuckled. “Thank goodness. I’m their nanny.”
“Oh.” He laughed, too. “I thought you looked too young to have three kids that old.” He looked relieved, which
