“Are you sure I can’t convince you to go dancing with me?” Colt asked, pulling his truck into the driveway. She glanced at him across the illuminated dashboard. On the few instances they’d met before, he had been sporting a cowboy hat, jeans, and boots. But tonight, he’d changed, and looked like a businessman in black slacks, a royal blue shirt, and black dress shoes.

She felt guilty being out with Colt tonight after last night with Emmett. “Yeah, I’m sure. It’s been a long week.”

He threw the truck in park and tilted his head, studying her. “What’s making you frown, Grace? Tonight was supposed to be fun, not painful.”

“I know. Sorry, I just think you have the wrong idea about me.”

“Are you single?”

“Well, yes, but…”

“Do you plan on living your life that way?”

“Uh, no. But you’re missing the point.” She shook her head as she tried to dissuade him from his course.

“I don’t think I am. You want companionship that could one day lead to long term commitment, family, the whole nine yards?”

“Of course.”

He shrugged with a lopsided grin on his handsome face. “Then it’s clear: you just have to fall in love with me, and the rest will take care of itself. Did I mention that I’m quite well off?”

She laughed. She couldn’t help herself. The man was incorrigible. “It’s not as simple as that, and you know it. Money or not. Look, Colt, I think you’re a nice, attractive man and enjoyed spending time with you tonight. But my life has changed radically in the last few weeks. I’m not necessarily looking to date anyone yet, not while I’m trying to find my way here. And I was hoping that for now, we could just be friends.”

Grace hoped that would give her time to figure out what in the world was going on with Emmett without hurting Colt’s feelings. She was aware that she had told herself that she was done with Emmett, that she wouldn’t see him again. But as she thought about him, she had to press her thighs together at the memory of the prior night. She did the one thing she had told herself she wasn’t going to do—think about Emmett. About the way he had looked on the couch, the way he had felt inside her—and the fact was, she wanted to do it all over again, even though the thought of being in a relationship with him terrified her. She wasn’t afraid that he would physically hurt her, but that she wasn’t going to be able to keep an emotional distance if she continued to have sex with him.

“Are you seeing someone else?” Colt asked with a pensive expression.

Grace sighed. It was the elephant in the room of her life that she wasn’t ready to share with anyone. “Not exactly. I would say what I do have is in the it’s complicated category, and leave it at that.”

“For the record, I don’t mind a little competition. Let me walk you to your door.
