They made a mad dash to Montpelier to pick up the ring and find a dress for the wedding and were back in Butler by six to drop off the ring to a very thankful Lucas. After they left him, Landon drove Amanda to Hunter’s house, feeling as if they’d had an important breakthrough during that momentous day. They’d agreed to be exclusive, and she was making some big changes that would keep her in Butler. That was the best news of all. He was relieved to know she was looking to put down roots in his town, that she wanted to work for his family’s company and finish raising her daughter there.

These were all good things, and he’d done something rather impetuous earlier when they were in Montpelier, but he couldn’t tell her about that. Not yet, anyway, but he hoped he could show her what he’d bought for her sooner rather than later. It counted as the craziest thing he’d ever done, but she seemed like a gamble worth taking.

With everything moving in the right direction, why did he still have a nagging feeling that despite all their progress, things were still far from settled between them?

He couldn’t say, and that uncertainty kept him off-balance long after they arrived at Hunter’s and settled in for a delicious dinner and a piano lesson for Amanda.

After dinner, while she went with his brother into the room where the piano was located, Landon helped Megan with the dishes.

“Thanks for dinner,” he said. “That pulled pork was amazing.”

“Glad you enjoyed it. It’s all thanks to the Crock-Pot, which was on all day while we were at work.”

“My mom used to call the Crock-Pot a miracle worker when we were all at home. Actually, she had three of them at one point.”

“Your mom never ceases to amaze me.”

“I know. She’s awesome.”

Megan finished loading the dishwasher while Landon wiped the table and the countertops.

“Thanks for the help.”

“No problem.”

“Let’s go sit. My ankles are swollen after being on my feet all day.”

Landon grabbed his portable fire department radio off the counter and followed her into the living room, taking a seat next to her on the sofa. Their dog, Horace, who was Homer Junior’s brother, jumped onto the sofa and settled on her lap.

She put her feet on a pillow that she placed on the coffee table as she stroked the dog’s ears. “Ah, that’s much better. On days like this, it’s hard to believe that pregnancy is supposed to be the most natural thing in the world. I feel like I got hit by a bus.”

“Are you working too hard?”

“Maybe, but I’d go crazy stuck at home. I like being at the diner and seeing everyone.”

“Still, you ought to take it easy. People can refill their own coffee.”

She gave him a curious look. “That’s actually not a bad idea. Two strategically placed stations would save me a lot of walking.”

“Do it. No one would mind.”

“I’ll see what Hunter and Elmer think.”

“You know they’ll be all for anything that makes it easier on you.
