Chapter Seven

“I really am sorry, Officer. I didn’t realize I was going that fast. It won’t happen again,” Lindie said to the police officer who had pulled her over for speeding.

As in most things, the Camden name could influence a situation—for better or for worse. Today, when the seasoned cop had seen it on her driver’s license it had worked to her advantage and resulted in a warning rather than a ticket. Apparently his son managed a department in one of the Camden Superstores.

She honestly hadn’t realized she’d been going so fast. But it didn’t come as a surprise. It was Saturday and she was excited to get to Wheatley to help paint over graffiti on the fence that blocked the community center’s playground from a major thoroughfare.

Alongside Sawyer.

Whom she hadn’t seen since the previous Sunday night.

“You, too. And thank you so much,” she said when the older man told her to have a nice day. Then she got back on the road, being more conscientious about her driving.

And giving herself a stern talking-to about the realities of things between her and Sawyer Huffman. The only reason she was seeing him at all was to try to get him to take Camden Incorporated on as a client. That way, his business could boom as compensation for what had been done to his father years ago, and Huffman Consulting would stop campaigning against the opening of every Camden Superstore.

Cut-and-dried.

And no reason she should have spent this past week missing him.

No reason for her to have shopped for new jeans that didn’t look new, a new tank top and a new sheer shirt to wear over it today.

No reason that she should have had her phone in her hand nearly every minute all day and evening Thursday in case he called. And then no reason to have been so thrilled when he did. Or to have spent a full hour talking to him.

Well, talking and flirting.

Certainly no reason to have taken off work on Friday afternoon to shop for something new to wear tonight.

Tonight, when he took her to the business dinner he’d suggested during Thursday’s phone call.

The business dinner that would allow him to tell her what problems he already saw coming in Idaho if his campaign to keep out a new superstore failed.

The business dinner that Lindie swore to herself she was only looking forward to because it would give her another chance to persuade him that working together could be to everyone’s advantage.

The business dinner that she also swore would not end with kissing. Regardless of how many times she’d relived Sunday night’s kisses or how much she was itching to have them repeated.

Okay, she was driving too fast again.

She eased up on the pedal and tried to counteract her eagerness to get to the community center by doing what she’d also been doing all week—replaying what had happened on Sunday before the kissing. When she’d watched Carter and Sam competing over Sawyer.

He’s a dad, she must have told herself a million times this past week.
