Chapter Nine

Wendy barely slept, tossing and turning all night, her hand burning from Jack’s kiss. “It was just a simple kiss,” she kept mumbling to herself. At one point she even beat her head against the pillows to get thoughts of Jack out of her head. Never had such a simple gesture affected her like this.

Bleary-eyed, she made coffee the next morning, still pondering her reaction. Bill never made her feel like this. And no wonder – she didn’t love him. She tolerated him. She couldn’t even fake it anymore, not even to herself. She was going to have to do something about it. Jack’s kiss on the hand only confirmed everything she already knew.

But she’d deal with her father and Bill another day. Today she wanted to spend time with Jack and enjoy him while he was still around. She was entering new territory, and wasn’t sure how Jack fit into the equation yet. Besides, he might have just been acting gentlemanly, with no specific affection toward her. Unfortunately, his kissing her hand was the equivalent of getting struck by lightning. It didn’t kill her, but it sure opened her eyes.

She dressed quickly, put her hair into a ponytail and checked the weather on her phone. Should she bundle up? Winters in Texas varied, though they were nothing compared to the ones in Montana. She decided on a light leather jacket she’d bought last fall, and a cute red scarf to go with it.

That was the only thing that remained of her outfit by the time Jack showed up. She changed three times in the interim.

“Good morning,” he greeted her as she opened the door.

“Hi.” She motioned him inside and headed for the bedroom. “I’ll just grab my bag.”

“Quite a nice place,” he commented from the other room.

Wendy picked her purse off the bed and returned to the living room. “Thanks. I’ve had it about two years.”

“Is that all?”

Wendy’s cheeks flushed. “You’re still living in your family home, aren’t you?”

“Yes,” he said with a chuckle, “but I own it now.” He came closer and took her hands in his. “Aw, I’ve made you blush.”

“No, Jack, I think this one’s on me. I’m ashamed to say I lived with my father until I got this place.”

“There’s no shame in it. What about your brother – is he still living at home? I imagine your folks have a huge house.”

“Yes, they do. David’s been there off and on over the years – depending on girlfriends. He lived with one for a while, but it didn’t work out.”

“I always liked David,” Jack said as they headed for the door. “I wouldn’t mind seeing him before I go back.”

She smiled. Everyone liked David. “I’ll ask him. I know he was planning on going out of town – some business in New York. I haven’t talked to him for about a week, so I’m not sure if he’s left or not.”

“Well, if he’s in town, it would be nice. Otherwise, don’t worry about it.”

She smiled as they stepped outside.
