Chapter Six

That evening was filled with hilarity as Michael and Heather sat in the back row of the theater, and Heather pointed out couples who would last and those who were most likely to kill one another. Neither of them were able to focus on the movie, Irreconcilable Differences, because they were too busy laughing.

“It’s a good thing no one around us is watching the movie,” she whispered. “They’d all be angry with all our giggling.”

“Real men don’t giggle. They chortle.”

Once the movie was over, he walked her home.

“That was fun,” she said. “It never occurred to me to do something like that. I’ve been too busy adjusting to seeing weird stuff.”

“I can understand that.” He stopped at her door, wanting her to invite him in but knowing she needed to work the following morning. “I’ll pick you up for lunch. What time?”

She frowned for a moment, thinking about it. “How about noon? We can get tacos and go to the park for our very own picnic.”

“I’d like that.” He leaned down and brushed her lips with his. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Wear some exciting leg warmers for me.”

“You know I will!”

Heather watched him go, thinking about how much she wished they had more time together. He was a good man, and she wasn’t ready for him to go back to Idaho. She wanted to yell at the unfairness of finding the man of her dreams and him living so far away.

The following day found Heather walking on air—or dancing on air, as the case may be. Her students giggled as she forgot the steps a couple of times, but none of them said a word.

When it was finally time for lunch, she locked up the studio and hurried out to get into Michael's truck with him. “Tacos!”

He laughed. “I think you only like me for the food I provide . . .”

“Like you provide food often. I provided food yesterday—well, my parents did, and that's pretty much the same thing.”

“Hey, I'm providing food today. Tacos.”

“What if I want a burrito? Or chips and queso? Or a combination of all three?”

“Get whatever you want. You know I'm not going to complain.” He paused for a moment, looking at her before pulling out of the spot in front of her studio. “Well, I won’t if you kiss me.”

She laughed and scooted across the bench seat, lifting her lips to his. “I was confused as I danced this morning. All the kids were giggling as I tried to teach them the wrong steps.”

“Oh? And why is that?”

“Because I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Why are you in Texas for such a short time?”

“Because my life is in Idaho.” He wanted to say more about how her life could be there, too, but he sensed it wasn’t really time yet.

They picked up the tacos and headed for the big park at the center of town. It was filled with walking trails, and there were plenty of picnic tables. It would be a little chilly, but Heather didn’t care.
