Chapter Seven

“Enough about me,” Sam said, setting down his coffee mug. "Please enlighten me on what a day in the life of Whitney is like."

A look-away, sheepish grin. God love Ireland, he thought.

“Well, most of the time you won't find me looking like this.” Hands framed her round face, accentuated by a cute indention at her chin. Her platinum-blond hair fell just below her shoulders with a teasing curl at the ends. And that neck was to die for.

“I'd hope not. You'd have to keep a whip in one hand just to keep the men at bay,” he said while leaning forward on his elbows.

Whitney snorted then caught herself, like she'd just exposed some dark secret. “Oh my, I can't believe I just did that.” She blushed and fanned her face.

“You crack me up. We've been sitting here...what, it's after two a.m., so for an hour or so. I feel like we've been friends for years.”

They held their gaze for a good ten seconds.

“So, I know you said you're getting your master's degree in science, but I'm not sure I caught on to what kind. I may get the law, but I'm not a science wiz.”

“My studies have an emphasis on computational hydroscience and engineering.”

“I'm guessing you'd conduct a fair amount of research, using computational simulation models, studying environmental impacts across a variety of water-oriented and conservation projects? Or something like that.”

“And you're not a science wiz? That was amazing.”

Whitney couldn't contain herself, and she reached for his hand.

Sam could see her chest heave with excitement, butterflies undoubtedly fluttering inside her pretty little stomach.

He knew he had her.

He grinned, extending that unspoken connection. Then, a timely yawn. “I'm sorry. I've been up studying the last three nights.”

“Oh, that's completely okay. I've been there myself.”

He glanced at his watch. “Look, I don't know if you brought your car, but would you like me to drive you home before I go catch about fours of sleep?”

She pursed her lips, obviously disappointed the night would end without testing the big bang theory.

“Oh, Sam, that's so sweet.”

Five minutes later, Sam's eight-year-old Passat faced south on Lamar Boulevard at University Avenue.

Whitney broke the brief silence. “I'm to the right here.”

“I'm down that way, to the left.”

A city sweeper crept by, while they waited for a red light behind a Dodge Charger black and white police car. Sam's right arm rested on the center console, his left wrist hooked over the steering wheel.

“I guess it's cool to see the good guys never sleep,” Whitney said.

“In this town, the only thing they'll find at this hour is a drunk kid peeing off the side of the curb.”

Whitney giggled like a teenager, then she moved her arm on top of his.

“Sam, would you mind turning left?” She raised her eyebrows and clutched his hand. “I can help you study.”

“That would be nice.” He nodded his head and gave her an assuring smile. He focused to keep his blood rush at bay. It was all about timing, he knew from experience.
