EXCERPT:
“Fancy
meeting you here.” Sean Callahan’s voice floated up and she
jumped, hitting her head on the inside of the counter.
“It is
my deli,” she said when she finally came up, resisting the urge to
rub the back of her head where she had hit it. The look of amusement
in Sean’s eye was enough to have her folding her hands across her
chest and do her best to stare him down. Two days, she reminded
herself. It had been two days since he had kissed her and nearly
lifted her straight out of her socks.
“I
have the afternoon off tomorrow,” he said, grinning at her. “I
was thinking, since you’re a hometown girl, that perhaps we could
go on a drive, that maybe you could show me around a bit.”
“Haven’t
you already been here a couple of months?” she said. “Because
this sounds like another one of your pick-up lines. Are you planning
on running out of gas on Lover’s Lane?”
“Never
heard of it,” he said quickly and in a deadpan voice. It earned him
a smile. “But I’ve been living in the hotel since I got here and
I realized that I haven’t really left it, since I was so busy
getting everything up and running with the restaurant. But finally,
things are where I want them and I feel like I can, actually should,
step back a little, see what the team at the restaurant can do
without me. So I thought an afternoon off, with you, might be a nice
way to test the theory out.”
“Are
you asking me out on a date?”
He shook
his head. “If that’s what you want. Or,” he amended, before she
could answer, “how about we call it
me-asking-a-local-to-show-me-around outing. We can sit next to each
other, in the car, and talk to each other, get to know one another.”
“I
already know you,” she pointed out, moving down the counter to
straighten her jar of homemade granola.
He
followed. “True, but I was hoping we could start over. Pretend that
all the stuff in the past didn’t happen.”
