Joanna continued to model her hand in front of her. "Of course, I'll give it back to you after I leave."

"What? No way, it's yours. Please don't ever say that again."

She lowered her hand. "We'll see."

One thing that Tucker was noticing about Joanna, and which he liked, was that she was no pushover.

"What are you smirking at?"

Tucker didn't realize he was smiling. "Nothin', I'm just thinking that you're pretty awesome."

She smiled. "Thanks. In that case, you're not too bad yourself, Mr. Burch. A lot more tolerable than I thought you'd be."

"Oh, is that so?" Tucker couldn't help it, he picked up a small handful of popcorn and tossed it at her.

She exclaimed loudly, shaking it off her. "Tucker!" She wriggled and laughed. "No more food in bed for you."

They settled down for a bit to catch a little more of the movie, every now breaking it up with more chat about everything and nothing. He discovered that they had a lot more in common than he thought besides their mutual love of horses; the food they both liked, movies, and even books that they'd read.

"So, did you hear about Waylan Cash? Rose wants them flown in for the wedding?"

Tucker groaned. They were the hottest country band around and were going off on tour soon. Rose knew someone who was connected to them and had somehow managed a provisional agreement from them to play at their wedding. "I told her no way."

"I feel bad, though. The look on her face when I shut her down. She was so disappointed."

"That's because Rose is one of their biggest fans. I'm sure she'll get over it eventually."

"Tucker…."

Joanna was absently twisting her ring. "Your family has been so good to me. What will they think when they find out the truth about our agreement?"

Truth be told, seeing Joanna interact the way she did with his family over the past week, did raise the same questions for Tucker. He'd have a lot of explaining to do once Joanna was gone.

"They'll have to understand," he said softly. "As much as they'll be sad to say goodbye to you, I'll have to remind them of the alternative - having our land ripped out from under us by Darrell."

"Yeah, I'm sure they'll understand. Have you heard from him by the way?"

Tucker rubbed his face. It was almost midnight and his eyes were beginning to feel a little heavy. "Yeah, he obviously got the news from Aunt Cheryl. He seemed upset. I don't know if I can trust him to stay out of trouble."

"You don't have to worry what he thinks, Tucker."

She reached over and squeezed his hand. It was the first time Joanna had been tactile with him, without his family being present. Her warm hand was comforting. When she went to move it away, Tucker held onto it, staring straight ahead at the movie. Her soft hand fit perfectly in his and for whatever reason, his chest began to beat a little faster.

That's not part of our deal, Tucker reminded himself.
