CHAPTER 14

Asha

Gabriel was up early the next morning, obviously waiting for Asha to make an appearance. He’d dragged out one of the small kitchen chairs and sat on his porch.

It was a little after five in the morning and she couldn’t hide her surprise at having spotted him on her way to the barn. He waved her over and she had no choice but to go.

“Do you have time to look at the outline and sketches for the site, and hear some of my ideas?” Gabriel asked. His voice seemed to hold a hint of annoyance that they had been interrupted yesterday.

Asha thought guiltily back to that ride from the day before. Colt had been so hopeful. The tenderness in his eyes had shredded her soul. Part of her wanted to do whatever it took to make him happy, but the larger, more fearful part, the part of her that would always be wild and untamed, held back. He’d mentioned that stupid dream and she could tell he wanted to make it come true for her. What Colt didn’t understand was that she was never going to be able to capture that feeling. The feeling of being loved and loving in return. She was incapable of that. She knew Colt deserved better than what she had to give and she felt guilty right to her core that she couldn’t be that for him.

Gabriel cleared his throat and Asha slammed back to the present. He was wearing jeans a tight fitting black t-shirt. His blonde hair was slicked back and he was freshly shaven. His eyes roved over her body, over the simple brown dress and denim jacket she had on. He looked at her like she was something he’d never seen before and she had a hard time keeping herself from blushing under his direct gaze.

“Sure,” she stammered. “I can look at what you have and if you want you can tell me your ideas.”

Gabriel nodded. He stood and Asha followed him into his cabin. The lingering scent of bacon turned her stomach. It looked like he’d found time to finally go for groceries. She tried not to breathe in.

She watched carefully as Gabriel brought up some program on his laptop. He clicked through a couple screens and finally brought up the mock ups for her website. She stared at the pictures of her barn, the animals, farm equipment.

“Did you take those?”

Gabriel just nodded. He smiled, as he could tell from her voice that she was beyond pleased.

“You’re pretty good,” Asha admitted. She leaned in and watched as he scrolled through the pages. She didn’t have time to read through all the text but it looked like Gabriel had been busy.

“Do you like it?” He asked. She could tell that it really mattered to him that she approved.

“Yes... Yes I like it. I would like to hear your ideas too.” Asha said. She found that now, it was true.

Gabriel leaned back in his chair. His eyes sparkled at her obvious admiration for his work.
