Chapter Nine

Landon hung up the phone and glanced down at his shirt, stuck to him completely with sweat. His hair was also drenched, and he probably smelled like the inside of the barn. Even though this was the “look” he had yesterday, it wasn’t exactly what he was going for when he went to see Georgie today. He’d waited until he was done with his deliveries and his work on the farm with John before he called, but he should’ve thought to have taken a shower before picking up the phone, in case she said yes.

And she had said yes.

“How about that, Sam? She said yes. Well, she said okay, but that’s close enough.”

“So, I’m in the next stall, and you’re talking to Sam. Makes me feel real special,” John drawled.

“Sam doesn’t talk back,” he said, and left the barn to the sound of John’s laughter. He hustled across the yard and took the porch steps two at a time in his eagerness to get ready.

His day had started out rough with that meeting at the bank but maybe, just maybe, it’d end on a much better note...with Georgiana.

After a quick shower, he returned to the barn wearing a denim shirt, jeans, boots and his Stetson. He winked at Sam while he saddled her up. “I know she can’t see me but that doesn’t mean I should skimp on any of the details.” Thankfully, John had headed to the house, so he didn’t get any smart remarks from his brother about his conversation with his horse.

Within minutes, he left the barn and made his way toward the mountain. Crisp pine and warm earth mingled to tease his senses as he navigated the trail. He’d missed the stunning girl that had so often shared this scene with him growing up. But today he’d spend time with her, the way they used to, and he couldn’t wait.

It’d always been Georgiana in Landon’s world. No matter that he was on another continent. No matter if he was in the heat of battle. Even when he suffered from a gunshot wound, he’d thought of Georgiana before anyone else. True, he’d thought a chance to love her was gone, but he’d still missed the girl he’d cared for. And now, there was a chance at forever again with Georgiana.

By the time he crested the ridge, his heart thundered so wildly he was certain it pumped against his ribs. He’d been nervous in Afghanistan. Always ready, but always nervous. But this was a different kind of nervous. This was what he’d equate to first-date jitters. Or first day of school. Or meeting a girl’s parents. Landon hadn’t felt that kind of nervous in a decade...until now.

God, help me say the right thing, do the right thing. Don’t let me scare her away again.

The moment he finished his prayer, he saw her.

Sunlight captured the red-gold of her hair from where she sat on the log cabin’s porch. Ceiling fans whirred full blast across the porch, and the breeze they created caused her long curls to move slightly as she rocked.
