Chapter Fourteen

Indigo drove slowly to the guard-gated community, where she stopped before a huge wrought-iron gate. A uniformed man came from the shelter, holding a clipboard. He looked over Indigo’s Subaru with a sneer and then peered at her with a look that was decidedly unfriendly. The revolver strapped to his hip didn’t do anything to change Indigo’s mind about his patience level for her.

“Name?”

She swallowed. Cole hadn’t said anything about a guard or needing to be interrogated just to get past the gate. “Indigo Williams?” Her own name came out as a question.

The guard ran his pen down the clipboard before stopping near the bottom. Without another word, he went into the small hut and pushed some buttons. The gate magically opened.

Clutching her phone that held Cole’s text with directions, Indigo meandered along the one-lane road. There were driveways splintering off in various directions, but Indigo didn’t see any houses. She pushed her lips together as a new sheen of sweat covered her forehead. She knew Cole was a billionaire, but she hadn’t put it together what that kind of money could buy until the security and privacy stared her in the face.

She moved slowly along the pavement until she came to the tree in the middle of the road. In Cole’s texted directions, he had told her about the Sweetheart Tree. It held special meaning for the town of Eureka Springs, with its initials and wedding dates carved into the bark. Cole’s neighbors, Asher and Brooklyn Lockmore, had worked hard to save it when the development of Mountain Cove was created.

With easy effort, Indigo swerved and her headlights swung over the huge birch with initials carved in its trunk. She slowed to take a look and pulled alongside the large tree, but the lengthening dusk made it hard to see.

Pushing on the gas, she took the last turn and followed a drive up a small knoll before stopping in front of a large home. Limestone anchored the house to the earth, while deep brown cedar siding finished the look. The home blended so well into the surrounding woods that it could easily be missed in spite of its sprawling size. Lights burned from the porch and windows, giving Indigo the feeling of being welcomed in spite of the guard’s intimidating and gruff demeanor.

Stepping out of her car, Indigo heard the house door open. Cole walked out onto the porch, dressed casually in jeans, a flannel shirt, and sneakers. His clothes fit as if tailor-made for him. His curly black hair shone under the porch lights, while his brown eyes beamed happiness that Indigo had never seen before. All earlier reservations about spending this evening in Cole’s company vanished, replaced by a swift desire to feel the flannel of his shirt under her palm and against her cheek. She scattered those thoughts to the lengthening evening. This was a casual dinner with a new friend, a step out of her self-conceived world and into greater sociality. Here, with Cole,
