Chapter Six

Four days later they were walking around Manhattan giddily close to each other as they took in all of the Christmas decorations.

“I can’t believe you’ve never done this before,” Melanie said. “With you being such a fan of the holidays and not living all that far away from the city, I would have thought you would have come here at least once in your life.”

“I’ve been to the city before,” he mildly corrected, “just never at Christmas. I mean, why? I live in a town that has the greatest celebration. I don’t need anything more than that.”

She looked up at him as if he were crazy.

And he kind of was.

As much as the little town of Silver Bell Falls was starting to grow on her, there was no way anyone could compare its holiday fanfare to what they were seeing right now. And as much as she wanted to point that out to Josiah, she figured it was one of those things best kept to herself. Instead, Melanie focused on finding them a place to warm up and get something to eat.

“So, what are we in the mood for? You won’t find food like this anywhere.”

“Now that’s something I definitely remember from when I was here last.”

“And when was that?”

“I don’t know…maybe when I was twelve?”

“Josiah!” she cried. “Seriously, how could that have been the last time you were here? I don’t understand that!”

He shrugged his good shoulder. “You know I’m not a touristy kind of guy and coming here, that’s what you have to be.”

Stopping in her tracks, she turned and faced him. “Then why did you agree to come with me? If you don’t enjoy this kind of thing, why bother?”

As Josiah was prone to do, he gave her a patient smile. The man was seriously too laid back and sometimes she wanted to rattle his cage and get more of a response from him.

“I came because I wanted to spend time with you,” he said easily. “This is where you needed to be. It’s not often that I have a lot of free time and—I’ll admit—I was banking up my vacation time and saving it for our honeymoon but…”

“But what? We’re still taking a honeymoon,” she gently chided him. “And you’re on a medical leave of absence right now. No one’s counting this against your accumulated time. Because if they are then…”

“Okay, okay, okay,” he quickly interrupted and soothed her, gently caressing her cheek. “Don’t get all worked up. I wasn’t implying that anyone was taking my time away from me.”

“Oh,” she said with relief. “Okay. Good.” Tilting her head a little, she asked, “Then what were you going to say?”

With a soft laugh, Josiah took her hand and started walking again. “I was going to say that we still don’t have a wedding date and we haven’t talked about honeymoons either.” He looked down at her and grinned. “We’re seriously bad at this planning thing.”

She knew he was right. Even after she used that as
