Chapter Thirteen

“W hy don’t we stop at the yarn shop first?” When Gwen heard Shane chuckle she cut her eyes at him. “Seriously, Kathy knows everything about everything. She gets more gossip than a hair salon. If anything is for sale she’ll know. At the very least she will know a good real estate agent.”

“Sure, but won’t that make us the new gossip?” He raised both of his eyebrows.

“Maybe quicker than usual, but as soon as we make an appointment to see a property, people will talk. It’s what they do in small towns.” She blushed at how quickly her mind went to Dillon and what he would think about those rumors. Probably relieved.

Shane’s voice broke her thoughts. “Are you ready for that?”

“Sure, if you are staying, we’re going to be on their lips soon. We might as well have a say in what they whisper.” Was she really ready? There was so much unfinished business, just in town there was Dillon and Sebastian. Her lingering feelings about them both demanded she do more than just tell herself she had moved on. Out there in the back of her mind was Steven and Lewis. Even Mikhail danced into her thoughts of inadequacy.

She needed to come to terms with all of them, so Shane could have her whole heart.

If that were even possible.

“They will whisper, damn that is the cutest couple I’ve ever seen.” A broad grin filled his face and his eyes sparkled.

Gwen smiled and breathed out, relaxed by his ease. He was her future. The fates sent her a chance for normal, and she would not let anything spoil that, including herself. “I agree. Yarn shop first. I need to get some yarn too.”

“And there is the real reason.” His laughter filled the car.

She swatted at him playfully. “Stop it, it’s for you. You can help me pick colors.”

“What are you making me?” He cocked his head to the side and then his eyes got wide. “Something blessed?”

“No, I will, but not yet. I will make you something blessed once I figure out what sort of blessing you need. You already seem so perfectly happy.” Her hand went up to the charm again. Even though she didn’t know what the blessing was, it meant the world to her. He made it for her, for them.

“I am perfectly happy. That’s all you.” He pulled in a parking space in front of the yarn shop, reached over the console, and took her hand. “Having you is my blessing.”

His words and the sweet look on his face filled her with hope. She gave his hand a squeeze and waited while he walked around. That he always insisted on getting her door was charming, even if a little old fashioned.

As soon as they walked in, Kathy seemed to appear from nowhere with her signature smile. “Is this the cute red-head I’ve heard so much about, Shane?”

“Yes, ma’am. You must be Kathy. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about you, I hope you can say the same.
