CHAPTER 6

“I wonder what it would be like to work in an art gallery – with Parker.” Tanya swiveled her gaze to Grace.

“Pardon?” Grace blinked. She’d just been wrapped up in reliving Sam’s kiss – his firm, sensual lips on hers, when she’d noticed Tanya looking at her.

Amusement danced across Tanya’s face. “I said, I wonder what it would be like to work with Parker – in an art gallery.” She giggled. “But maybe I should ask you what it was like to work there with Sam instead.”

Grace’s cheeks heated.

“He wasn’t there much,” she told her.

Tanya glanced around the empty store. “Why isn’t Sam here today?”

“He had to go back to Seattle.”

“Parker told me about the exhibition they’re holding next week. It sounds fun.”

“That’s one way of looking at it,” Grace replied. Yes, some of the exhibitions had been “fun” when everything had run smoothly, but others had seemed to have one problem after another, until the opening night, when all the hitches were usually resolved at the last moment.

“Is Sam coming back – here?” Tanya asked.

“Maybe,” Grace replied, fidgeting with the pen she held. Yesterday afternoon, Sam had told her he would – he’d even made it sound like a vow – but would he really be able to? Would he still want to? She thought once more of all the times she’d seen his photo in the paper at one of the fancy events he’d attended, a glamorous woman on his arm. He might have said that those events bored him, but wouldn’t he find Spring River Bend and staying on the ranch even more boring? The fanciest event here, apart from the farmers’ market at the town square, was when the local wine bar had a ladies’ night.

“I bet he is.” Tanya grinned, then she became thoughtful. “I wonder if Parker will come here again?”

“He’s got the gallery to run,” Grace told her.

“I know. We’ve been talking on the phone every day.”

“You have?” Grace stared at her. When Tanya and Parker had gone for coffee the other day, she hadn’t expected the two of them to stay in touch now they were in separate states.

“Uh huh.” A small smile tilted her lips. “I’d love to visit Seattle one day.”

“Then you’d better start saving.”

“Uh-huh.” Tanya nodded. “Tell me what it was like working with Parker.”

Grace highlighted Parker’s good points, making light of the mundane jobs she’d had to do as his assistant. Parker was a pretty good guy overall but she didn’t want to see Tanya get hurt.

“It sounds like fun,” Tanya enthused. “Not that working here isn’t fun,” she added hastily.

“This is your first day.” Grace checked her watch. “You’ve only been working here for two hours.”

“And I love it already.” Tanya beamed.

The day passed more quickly than Grace would have imagined that morning when she woke up and realized Sam was gone – back to Seattle and his old life.

But when she returned to the ranch that evening, she couldn’t deny the disappointment in her heart when she realized she hadn’t heard from Sam all day.
