Chapter Nine

Honor stood by the truck and watched as Joshua gingerly held the arctic fox in his arms. She couldn’t help but admire Joshua as he strode toward her, his steps full of power and purpose. A sigh slipped past her lips. He was dressed in a nice-fitting pair of blue jeans and a hunter green parka. A cowboy hat sat perched on his head. There was no debating he was much better-looking than all of the single men in this town put together. A true Alaskan hottie! Her cheeks felt heated at the admission.

He placed the arctic fox in the back of the truck on top of one of her blankets, then firmly closed the door. Honor quickly situated herself in the passenger seat. Joshua sat in the driver’s seat and cast a glance behind him at the fox. He reached to turn on the radio, his arm brushing against hers in the process, causing an electric pulse to run through her. Being so close to Joshua was doing a number on her. There was an awareness that always flared between them whenever they were in close proximity. At the same time, Honor felt comfortable in his strong, steady presence. Their shared history bonded them for life.

He revved the engine and began to drive away from Nottingham Woods.

“Thanks for bringing me out here, Joshua. You’ve been a big help,” Honor said, gratitude welling up inside her.

“Hanging out with you twice in one day is pretty suspicious. I’m beginning to think you’re following me,” he said in a teasing voice.

Honor rolled her eyes. She snapped her fingers. “You figured me out. And here I was trying to be subtle.”

“Isn’t that how we started dating? You used to trail after me all the time until I noticed you.”

“You wish, Ransom,” she said, shaking her head.

His low chuckle sounded like it radiated from deep inside him. They both knew the true story. Joshua had been the one to chase Honor. He had worn down her initial defenses with his tenderness and boyish charm. She had been defenseless to resist him.

“So what’s your theory on the fox? Was she abandoned?” Joshua asked.

Honor nodded. “No, I don’t think so. She’s not a baby. I would say she’s about nine months old or so. Arctic foxes are on their own from a fairly young age and are forced to fend for themselves. Judging by her weakened state, she’s malnourished. She really needs some TLC.”

“Sounds like she’s in good hands,” Joshua said.

“The wildlife center is the perfect place for her. I’m feeling very blessed that we were able to find her in the woods.”

Joshua winked at her. “Haven’t you heard? There are no accidents in life. Everything happens for a reason.”

No accidents in life? Honor agreed with the sentiment. Everything had a divine purpose. She had been scratching her head trying to figure out why God had placed Joshua back in Love. Surely it wasn’t so he could sell Bud’s ranch to the Alloy Corporation? There had to be some other reason, she reckoned.
