The museum hadn’t changed the exhibits much in a year and she strolled around the familiar folk art wing, stopping in front of her favorite Anna Mary Robertson Moses painting. Gabe was right—Evan was the only person in the entire museum, but the quiet was a welcome change after the morning’s activities.

She took one last look at the painting and headed toward the last room in the museum, the gallery of artifacts from the Revolutionary War. She glanced at her watch and saw she had less than an hour before her coffee date. A journalistic rush of excitement filled her at the idea of cracking some news on Weston Morris. Her intuition was telling her there was some kind of story there. She just had to keep digging. It was an unfortunate coincidence that Ellie seemed to be hooking up with Weston, but she wasn’t going to let that get in the way of her research. She needed to get back on Samantha’s good side and this could be her way in.

She entered the Revolutionary War room, expecting to find it empty as well, but there was another person staring at the historical battle map on the wall. He had his back to her, but Evan had spent so many years staring at Hunter McKnight, she could have easily identified him in a pitch-black cave. She whipped around so fast to make a run for it that she heard the crash before she saw what fell.

She had knocked down a two hundred and thirty-six year old musket from its perch on the wall.

Hunter was instantly by her side, lifting it back on to the shelf. The chivalrous effort incensed her and she suddenly couldn’t contain the frustration toward him that had been steadily growing since the trust exercise.

“Don’t do that!” she snapped. “I can do it myself.”

He stepped back a few inches, his blue eyes wide and looking even more piercing in his navy parka. “I was just trying to help.”

It was hard to discern whether he was confused or shocked by her outburst. At this point, though, she had nothing to lose and she was going to get it all off her chest whether he wanted to hear it or not.

“Yeah, right. You’ve been acting like a complete…” She clenched her fists, searching for the right word. “…Schmuck! A complete schmuck the past two weeks! Yeah, I told Ellie about your shady reason for getting back together with her, but get over it!”

“Evan—”

“It’s not like what I did was so horrible. And you know what? I’m glad I told her! I’m glad she knows the truth!” She was used to fumbling her sentences around him, but now the words were flying out of her mouth faster than she could form them and her arms were flailing uncontrollably in the air. “You’ve made it perfectly clear you’re angry at me. I get it! You don’t have to keep making me feel worse!”

“I was never angry at you,” he said quietly, barely able to maintain eye contact.
