After a full day at the library, Maureenʼs workday wasnʼt over. Her mobile phone rang, and the name that came up on the screen made her smile—H. Lonigan. “Lonnie,” she said, picking up.

“Howʼs my favorite librarian?” His deep, masculine voice sounded like melted chocolate.

“Anxious to see you,” she said. “Iʼve missed you.”

“Just got back. I did a mining run up in northern Canada. First of the season.”

Maureen winced, picturing Lonnie in his huge rig, lumbering over narrow, icy mountain roads to bring diesel to mines in remote locations. “Iʼm glad youʼre back safe,” she said, knowing it was futile to point out the hazards of his job. He was a dangerous-load trucker who laughed at danger—all the way to the bank. “When can we meet?” she asked.

“How about right now?”

She checked the clock on her desk. “Perfect. Iʼm just finishing at work. Where?”

“How about your place?” he suggested.

Something about the quality of his voice tipped her off. She looked up, and there he was, filling the entire doorway with his bulk.

“Lonnie!” she said, and a moment later she was folded in his embrace. “I didnʼt know when youʼd be back. I have something for you.”

He stepped back, beaming at her. “Yeah?”
