Chapter 10

Ronnie had kissed him.

Peter could’ve shouted it to the world from right there on top of the hill overlooking Deep Haven.

And what a kiss. The kind that made a guy feel alive and like he could hold the world in his hand. Like when he was a kid diving off the rocky ledge into Lake Superior, the frigid water stealing his breath until a heat would surge through him and he’d push through to the surface, breaking free.

He’d held that beautiful, vibrant woman in his arms, and the memory of the feel of her lips, her hands splayed across his chest, could still skyrocket his pulse.

Not that he had a lot of experience kissing women. In fact, zero. Zilch. That truth he would be keeping to himself. But man, Ronnie was worth the wait.

If she wanted Mexican food, he would get it for her even if he had to drive all the way to Mexico to get it. Thankfully, Taco Fiesta was right in Deep Haven. It was one of the few restaurants the Dahlquists didn’t have their hands in, so he wouldn’t have to worry about seeing anyone there.

He walked in and breathed deep of the smell of taco meat and salsa. Probably not as authentic as Ronnie’s abuela could make, but for the North Shore of Minnesota, these tacos were the best around.

Apparently, everyone else in town knew it also. He took his place in the long line behind the order window.

Vivien walked in right behind him, wearing aviator sunglasses, a summer dress, and a bright white smile like the little diva she was.

“Hey, Viv. Why aren’t you at rehearsal?”

“They’re going over choreography right now with my dance leaders while I do the dinner run.”

“So, how’s Tiago doing?”

Vivien’s smile fell. “He’s a natural on the stage, and with Josh he does great. But he’s trying to prove himself with some of the older boys and they’re getting into trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?”

“Just dumb pranks and goofing off when they’re supposed to be running lines. I constantly have to keep them busy and well supervised during our practices. He’s a good kid. I think he’s just trying hard to fit in.”

That didn’t sound good.

Viv wagged her eyebrows. “So, speaking of Tiago…what’s with you and Ronnie? You two an item now?”

He froze, deer-in-the-headlight, and his answer came out without a thought. “What? No! Of course not.”

“What do you mean ‘of course not’? Every time I see you, she’s with you or nearby. And she’s fun. Gorgeous. Not related to you in any way, shape, or form. So why not?”

Right. He swallowed hard. Why was he fighting this? He had just kissed the woman.

But still, it was too new. He didn’t know where they stood enough to inform Vivie, aka, the Deep Haven hotline. “We’re…just friends.”

Vivien shook her head and laughed. “Oh, Peter. You have the worst poker face.”

“What?”

“It’s so obvious you like her.”

He shoved his hands into his pockets. “Yeah, she’s pretty and she’s got grit, but she’s also pushy and bossy and doesn’t know when to back down from a fight.
