Jim’s POV
I drove down town in Melody’s suv, which I was grateful that she had let me borrow. We had closed early, due to not having any other workers for the day. Heather was a no-show, which did not surprise me in the least; and Melody had yet to find any replacements yet to hire.
I had been the first one Melody had hired to work there, slaving away every morning until she had me properly trained to fill my role in the bakery: It was at that time that I had become infatuated with her. I knew that Mike had been her chosen mate, and I always fantasized that maybe one day we would discover to be fated mates. That is why I never said anything when I saw Tiffany and Mike begin to sneak around together. I figured if Melody found out on her own, she would fall into my arms and in love with me
