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.”
