Chapter Fifteen

“You’re awfully quiet. Are you sure everything’s okay?”

They were halfway to Tulsa, and so far, Lorie had barely said a word.

“I’m fine.”

“You want to talk about it?”

“Jonah and I broke up.”

He was nearly embarrassed at the surge his heart gave, and he was certainly glad she couldn’t read his mind. Down, boy. The fact that she was no longer promised to another didn’t mean jack. They were still from two different worlds. Worlds that had no overlap. “I’m sorry,” he murmured.

“For good this time. I mean, we’ve broken up before over the years, but this time he meant it.”

“This didn’t have anything to do with me, did it? Or the trips to Tulsa?”

“No. Sort of.” She laid a hand on his arm. Her touch warmed and comforted, but after a second it was gone. “It’s not your fault. It’s no one’s fault.”

“You sure about that?”

She smiled then, that sunshine smile that brightened even the cloudiest of days. “Positive.”

After her confession, she seemed more at ease. Zach was grateful. He enjoyed her company more than she would ever know.

They stopped for her to change. He loved it when she wore her flower-print dress and cowboy boots, her hair loose and free.

“I almost forgot,” she said as she got back into the car. “I brought you something.” She held out a small container filled with something green.

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Lime and mint breakfast pudding.” She shot him a sweet smile like it was the best thing in the world. Or maybe that grin was devious.

“Are you sure I have to try this?”

“Only if you want me to eat raw fish.”

He cleared his throat and prepared to pull back into traffic. “I said you didn’t have to eat raw. What I usually get is cooked.”

“We had a deal. You try this, and I’ll eat sushi.”

He sighed. “Fine.” After all, how bad could it be?
