Jared was mostly quiet during the hour and a half it took to get back to the farm. He used few words when responding to Kinsley until she grew quiet as well, watching the trees pass by them on the same road she had traveled only a week before. So much had happened, had changed in that short amount of time. Was Jared suddenly worried it was too much? She felt her stomach rolling as the thought hit her.

She bit her lip and went back over every word since that morning, every gesture, looking for anything that should have given her a hint that he was having second thoughts. Finally, after replaying every conversation, she gave up, unable to find a catalyst for the change. It all seemed to happen right after he talked to the repairmen before they began work on his windshield. Had he learned something from them that would make him think she was responsible for this?

The incidents that had bothered her before slammed into her again, this time adding the windshield. Maybe he was thinking she was bad luck now, as she had been suggesting all along.

Or maybe those few moments away from her had given him time to rethink his feelings for her.

She fought back tears and decided she could not let herself imagine dragons where there may not be any. She would wait and talk to him about this, when she had a tighter fist on her feelings. Right now, she was worried that if she tried to ask him what was wrong, she would start crying and that certainly wouldn’t help anything.

She tried to focus on how tender he had been with her the night before, how excited he’d been by her touch and how he had made her feel wanted in a way no one had ever made her feel before. She touched her finger to her lips, remembering his mouth lingering over them.

But every time she thought about how wonderful their time together had been, the cold wind of doubt swept over her. How could things have changed so quickly? Or had he been faking his feelings for her? She glanced at him. His eyes focused on the road ahead, concentrating. She was sure he had not been pretending. Something must have changed his mind.

As if reading her fears, he put his hand on her leg, warming the spot, and left it there until they pulled into the driveway, making her wonder again what this man was thinking and hoping she was worried for nothing.
