Chapter Seven

Maybe there was hope for the two of them after all, Jordana thought as she strapped herself into Tanner’s plane. They were flying to Red Rock today—just two days after she’d accepted his proposal. Everyone in the restaurant had broken into applause after she’d said yes and Tanner had pulled her up into a hug, planting a kiss on her lips and spinning her around so that her feet actually lifted off the ground.

To the uninformed, they probably appeared to be very much in love—the beautiful two-carat traditional round diamond, which was so brilliant it was blinding, made a believable prop. So much so that she’d actually convinced herself that maybe, just maybe all the effort he’d put into making the proposal special and telling her parents that as much as they appreciated their kindness, the two of them wanted to wait until they got back to Red Rock and she got settled in before they rushed through a wedding ceremony.

Even though she knew she wouldn’t have the wedding she’d always dreamed about—the one that was detailed in her scrapbook—she wanted to do things as right as possible. Because despite the fact that the circumstance dictated that she let go of a lot of her ideals, she was entering into this marriage with the firm hope that she would get married one time and stay married to the father of her child.

That meant she would have one wedding. She wanted to make it as close to perfect as possible. She loved her mother, but she didn’t want to walk down the aisle to her mother’s version of good enough.

Her father was not happy. But Tanner had handled him. Really, for the first time in her life she realized if she went against her father’s wishes, there really wasn’t a whole lot he could do.

So she and Tanner had left. He, with a confident swagger; she, with a leave of absence from her job at Fortune South and a heavy heart, but also with a seed of hope in her core.

Of course everything would be for naught if this oversize tin can crashed between Atlanta and Red Rock.

No! Stop thinking about that.

She blinked away the morbid thoughts, and trained her gaze on Tanner, who was doing a final instrument check before they took off. She studied his handsome profile and refocused on all the blessings in her life.

She had the Rock of Gibraltar on her left ring finger, given to her by a man who she could love…really, she could…there was hope for that…and she was pregnant with his child.

A lot of blessings. A lot to be grateful for. Those happy thoughts were a good distraction from how much she hated to fly.

Tanner caught her staring and smiled. “You ready to go?”

She nodded, probably a little unconvincingly, because he asked, “Are you okay?”

“No, I am. I’m fine. I just hate to fly.”

“Why do you hate to fly? Don’t be scared.
