Chapter Seven

February 6

Three days later Kelsey sat across from Will at his dining-room table. Scattered between them were file folders, notebooks, magazines, lists, sketches of the reception room, a phone book, a cell phone, a laptop and a Palm Pilot. The wedding plans were coming together.

“So, am I living up to your highly paid, highly qualified staff members?” Will asked.

She hesitated, long enough to make him sweat. “Your eyes aren’t glassing over as much, which is quite an improvement.”

“My eyes never glass over.” She raised a brow, and he grinned sheepishly. “Maybe once or twice, but for someone who’s never planned a wedding before, I’m doing great.”

This she couldn’t believe. Not after all he’d done for Faith’s wedding. “What about your own wedding?”

“Sara knew what kind of wedding she wanted since the time she was twelve and took care of everything. I didn’t do much except show up in a tux and say ‘I do.”’

“Any regrets?”

“No. It was the wedding Sara wanted.”

What did you want? The question was on the tip of Kelsey’s tongue, but she managed to keep her curiosity from getting the best of her. More than once she’d felt her interest in Will go beyond client chitchat. Of course, their actions did, too. Kissing in the parking lot. Spending the night together on the couch. Feeding each other wedding cake. All those things went way beyond a business relationship. Yet it seemed right and normal, which made it even more odd. “So how does it feel?”

Will furrowed a brow. “How does what feel?”

“To finally plan a wedding?”

The edges of his mouth turned up slightly. “It’s been…interesting.”

Kelsey chuckled. “I suppose ‘interesting’ is a step above painful.”

“I have to admit the cake tasting has been my favorite so far.”

“Me, too.”

Their gazes locked. She remembered staring into his eyes like this as she’d fed him a piece of cake, watching his lips close around her fingers as she pulled them—

Will looked away. “I’m learning a lot, though I don’t know when I’ll ever have the chance to use the knowledge again. So, where’s the seating chart you’ve been working on?”

Kelsey rose, walked to his side of the table and placed two pieces of paper down. “What do you think?”

As he stared at the charts, Will’s scent surrounded her. Woodsy, spicy and oh-so-male. She felt a little dizzy and grabbed the edge of the table.

He touched her elbow. “You okay?”

“Fine.”

“For a second you seemed to be in another world.”

Yes, she realized, the land of good Will cologne. She let go of the edge. “I zoned out for a minute.”

“You’ve been working too hard.”

“We’ve been working too hard.”

He smiled. She smiled back. “By the way, what’s the name of the cologne you wear?”

“Cologne?”

“Is it aftershave?”

“I don’t wear any.”

“Oh.” She gulped, feeling naked and exposed and oh-so embarrassed. “It’s just Cade’s birthday is coming up and…”

Will’s eyes twinkled with amusement. “His birthday, huh?”

Busted. Heat flooded her already-warm cheeks. No problem, Kelsey told herself. It could be worse. She wasn’t quite sure how, but…She cleared her Mojavedry throat and nodded.
