Ben was hiding in his office later when he heard the bell over the front door ding. He set his can of Dr. Pepper on the desk and sighed before he plastered a smile to his face and forced himself to head out and be social.
Candy was ushering an older, gray-haired woman down the hall to the classroom and his eyes widened in surprise. They certainly didn’t get a lot of elderly students, and he estimated she was on the far sideof eighty. The bell dinged again, so Ben pulled his gaze away from the woman and walked out into the showroom.
“Welcome to Makowski’s,” he greeted the two young men standing at the counter. “You men here for the class?”
The guys both nodded eagerly while the blond offered his hand. “I’m Seth and this is Randy.”
Ben grasped his hand and shook it heartily. The blond was sexy. Muscular, broad shoulders, blue eyes, stubble on his cheeks. But too young. Definitely too young. Ben let go and gestured with his head for them to follow him through the door.
