“THANK YOU ALL for attending,” Isabel said in front of the small crowd. “This concludes the poetry jam. There are refreshments available in the back, compliments of the Seedling Women’s Reading Circle. Please help yourself.”

Sean leaned against the wall in the back of the room as he watched Isabel offer words of thanks and encouragement to the poets. People circled Isabel, wanting to hear her opinions. She was in full hostess mode, doing what she most wanted—bringing new ideas to her community through her beloved library. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

He wasn’t sure why he was staring. There was nothing different about her tonight. Isabel wore a lavender dress that fell well past her knees. Her blond hair swung near her chin and today she wore a pearl necklace that matched her pumps. As usual, she stood out among the casually dressed group.

Sean’s gaze traveled down to the gentle swell of her hips and his pulse skipped. No, he did know why he was staring. He wondered if she had received his text. And if she had followed it. He really couldn’t tell.

As if she sensed that he was looking at her, Isabel glanced in his direction. As their gazes clashed, Isabel blushed and looked away. She nervously smoothed her hands against her full skirt.

She’d definitely gotten the text, Sean decided as he smiled. He watched as Isabel abruptly turned her head and joined a conversation among a group of elderly men in baseball caps. But had she followed through with his suggestion? Was she that bold or had he found her limit?

His request had been reckless. He shouldn’t have made it. It wasn’t like him—the new him, anyway. He had suffocated that impulsive side of himself years ago...but Isabel had managed to resurrect it. He had promised Keith that he would curb her scandalous behavior and instead he was encouraging it.

“Mr. Hawkins,” Doris Brown said in a strident tone as she came to stand next to him. “Two visits to the library in the same month?”

He looked down at the petite older woman and his smile widened. “Hello, Miss Doris. If I had known you were here, I would have sat next to you.”

Doris made a face but he saw the twinkle in her eyes. She may claim that she didn’t like bad boys but he knew she liked the challenge they offered.

“I didn’t realize you were a fan of poetry,” she said.

“I didn’t realize it, either.” Sean hadn’t actually paid attention to the poems but had spent most of the evening watching Isabel. He enjoyed seeing the delight, surprise and enthusiasm on her face.

Miss Doris’s lips twisted to the side. “I hear you have become a bibliophile.”

Sean frowned at her statement. He could take books or leave them. He wasn’t as attached to them as Isabel was. “Because I’ve visited the library twice?”

“Because you joined Isabel’s book club.”

Sean paused as he felt the punch of surprise. What else had the older woman discovered about that night? “Where do you get your information?” he murmured.
