Chapter Eight

Grace’s fingers flew over the keyboard as she wrote about her spelunking adventures with Jasper. It was her day off from the Moose Café, and she was determined to finish her first article based on her initial impressions of Love. Reading back her words caused prickles of awareness to pop up on her arm. A feeling of excitement raced through her. It always felt like this when a story started to come together. Once she returned home to New York City, the first of the articles would be released. One by one they would trickle out. And then the truth would be revealed. Grace shut her eyes tightly as Boone’s face came into sharp focus. What would he think of her? It hurt her to even imagine how it would all play out.

Maybe, just maybe, they wouldn’t find out. This particular village was somewhat removed from what was happening in the rest of the country. Who was she kidding? There was cable news here, as well as internet access. Everyone here in Love would know she’d come to town with an agenda that didn’t include falling in love. As it was, Hazel kept grilling her about which man in town she had her eye on. More times than not, she asked her about Boone, telling her that if she was twenty years younger, she’d chase after him herself. Bless Hazel. She always made her laugh. She was going to miss her like crazy when it was time to leave Love.

Grace stopped typing and looked out her window at the last vestiges of sunlight. In a few minutes the sun would be stamped out from the sky, and the night would prematurely come into being. According to Boone, every day they inched closer to winter they lost a little bit of sunlight. Pretty soon, there would only be four to five hours a day of sunlight. It would be kind of cool to experience it.

But you won’t be here then, she reminded herself. You’ll be long gone.

The thought of no longer being in Love left her feeling as if someone had placed a heavy weight on her chest. More and more she could imagine herself living here, and it wounded her to think about leaving this memorable town. She shook the raw emotion away, chiding herself for being so sentimental. This wasn’t her home. It was a job assignment!

The sound of tires crunching outside on the snow had her standing up to get a clear view of the driveway. Boone’s blue-and-white cruiser came to a stop in front of her cabin. Excitement unfurled inside her at the prospect of seeing him on a day she hadn’t expected to even venture outside. She walked over to the desk and shut her computer before tucking her notes inside the drawer.

Before he could knock, she flung the door open, her heart constricting at the sight of him. He was dressed in his uniform, and he held his hat in his hand, pressed tightly against his chest.
