As far as Travis was concerned, they could have stayed upstairs in their rooms all week. He could have called a pharmacy and had the condoms they needed delivered. He could have asked to have their meals left at the door.

Him and Sam. Who knew?

It was a question he’d been asking a lot lately—ever since he’d seen this new, exciting side of her. She was a revelation.

In the past six or seven years, he’d slowly come to realize that she was probably the best friend he had. His best friend. And now this. Every hour he was with her, he was happier with himself and the world.

He wanted to keep her safe. And at his side. If he could do both of those things, well, he’d be one lucky guy. The higher-ups at STOI were constantly offering him opportunities to work full-time on shore. He could step up to rig superintendent, with a number of company men on different rigs reporting to him. In fact, a promotion was available to him in the next couple of months if he wanted it.

So he could come home most nights. And she was making a change, too, giving up work on offshore rigs. He was glad about that. The work was too dangerous.

Accounting. Now, there was a job where you couldn’t get hurt. He approved of that for her.

Well, except that getting her degree would mean she’d be putting in long hours in class and studying. And didn’t accountants work sixty-to-seventy-hour weeks?

All that time. Away from him…

Anything might happen to her. The most innocent activities—something so simple as walking across the street—could spell disaster. He knew that too well.

They would have to talk about it, about what was the best choice for her, for them.

He took her hand, kissed the back of it. “You just have to go downstairs, huh?”

She eased her fingers from his hold and looked at him sternly. But her beautiful eyes were shining. “You recently spent a big pile of money improving my manners, and now you want me to be rude?”

He tried to look pitiful. “It’s rude to stay here with me?”

“It’s rude to go visit people and then not spend any time with them—which I don’t need to tell you because you have a mama who loves you and brought you up right.”

He had to admit he agreed with her. So they went downstairs.

When they entered the big, farm-style kitchen, his mom and dad were the only ones there. The older couple sat at the table, sipping coffee.

His dad said slyly, “We were wondering if you two would ever get up.”

“Don’t listen to Davis,” his mom instructed. “You two are on vacation. Stay in bed every day till noon if it suits you.”

Travis bent over her and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Mom. We just might.”

She reached back and patted the side of his face. “It does my heart good to see you so happy, honey.”

“I am,” he said. Sam was watching them. He met her eyes. Zap. Just sharing a look with her got him hot.
