Attending the food truck festival on Saturday hadnât been planned. In fact, when Logan mentioned it over a week ago, sheâd had no intention of going at all. Especially after the things heâd said to her at the shop that day. She hadnât been able to think straight since then. Heâd always had a way with words, which was one of the things that had first drawn her to him.
Even though she understood why he had left, she couldnât think about him and pretend it hadnât happened. He had broken her heart, and the fear that he might do it again if she let him back in simmered within.
With her emotions a mess and underlying guilt over rejecting Brett the other day, she had decided to take Saturday afternoon off to make it up to him. The food truck festival had been Brettâs idea, and her suggestion of a nice dinner downtown and a stroll along the river had fallen on deaf ears.
The festival appeared to be a huge success. The large lot was lined with trucks and packed with people enjoying every variety of delicious foods you could imagineâMexican, burgers, smoothies ⦠coffee. A nervous sensation churned in her stomach as she spotted Loganâs truck. She had told Brett that they were selling their baked goods at a coffee truck, but she hadnât exactly come clean about who owned the truck, only that Savannah was in charge of all that.
There was a long line outside his truck, just as there had been last time sheâd seen it. She wondered how their goodies were selling.
âIs that the truck where youâre selling your stuff?â Brett tilted his head toward Loganâs truck.
He had obviously seen where she was looking. âUh, yeah.â
âLooks like theyâre doing well.â
âI hope so.â
âShould we stop by and check up on things?â He started moving in that direction.
âNah.â Harper wound her fingers through his and walked on past. âUnless you want some coffee,â she added, not wanting to make it too obvious that she was avoiding that particular truck.
Brettâs eyes traveled farther down the line. âI want that!â He led her in the direction of a BBQ truck.
Harper glanced over her shoulder at Loganâs truck as they passed, wondering if heâd seen her, wishing she didnât care.
She looked over at the man walking next to her. The sun made his blond hair appear even lighter. His gaze was fixed on the BBQ truck like he was ready to devour the first thing he saw, which made her giggle.
He turned his eyes on her. âWhat?â
âNothing. Youâre cute.â
âCute? What are we, twelve?â He winked, then squeezed her hand as they got in line for food.
She thought about the day they first met, how he had walked into the bake shop to get muffins for his office, and how heâd stopped by five minutes before closing that same day to ask her to dinner.
She had politely declined. He was a complete stranger, after all.
But he was nothing if not persistent, stopping in onceâsometimes twiceâa week, starting up conversations with her whenever he could.
