EVAN KICKED a log over with his foot as the flames rushed toward the stars. The work at the store was easy, but at the end of the day, all he wanted to do was sit outside with a cold beer, listen to his favorite music, and see how big a fire he could build. Somewhere on that list, he wanted to add spending time with the girl who had pretty blue eyes, but it seemed best to keep things light with Haven. He wasn’t here for all the strings that came with getting attached to a girl like her.

He tipped his bottle back. He knew she was waiting for him to ask her out. The hints were there. He also knew spending time with her could only lead to one thing, and if they both were willing… He shook his head, imagining a night alone with her. It would complicate things. Light was best. No drama.

He smiled thinking about how her nose crinkled when he threw out suggestions for her songs. She was damn cute, and every time he saw the spitfire in her emerge, he had to fight the urge to pull her close and kiss him. That wasn’t good.

Today was her day off from the store. It didn’t feel the same when she wasn’t there. Whenever he had a break, he found himself wandering to the register to see what words had popped in her head, but instead, Nell was waiting with a to-do list. He imagined she spent the entire time cocooned in her hammock, hatching song ideas. There was no doubt she was talented. He couldn’t write a song, much less a greeting card, but he knew she had that special something. When she sang her words, he knew it was like witnessing someone who had figured out how to trap lightning shards in a bottle. The words never left him—they stuck in his head—and he was afraid they weren’t going anywhere.

He tossed another piece of driftwood on the flames. If he helped her, it would mean calling in a few favors. They would be small favors, but it involved reaching into the pit. Why did she have to have dreams that took her in that world?

The bottle was empty. Evan walked into Silver Belle to grab another. He had the next two days off in a row, and he planned to finish the case he brought home with him. He wished it didn’t bother him so much that he was going to go three days without seeing Haven. Three days was way too long. He considered stopping by the store tomorrow to say hey. He could pick up some more beer and steal a smile.

The wind had picked up and every once in a while, instead of reaching high, the flames from the fire whipped sideways. One of the customers at the store had mentioned a storm was off the coast, but everyone had their fingers crossed it would blow on by and miss the island.
