Chapter Fifteen

"You scared me," Rachel said as her pulse leapt with Dylan's appearance in the apple farm gift shop Saturday evening. She'd seen him drop Wesley off earlier that afternoon but had been too busy with a group of tourists to ask how the camping trip went.

"Sorry." Dylan flashed her an apologetic smile. "I saw the Closed sign, but the door was open, so I let myself in. What are you concentrating so hard on?"

"My sales receipts." She shut the cash register. "Wesley said he had a good time. I understand the two of you won three blue ribbons."

"We were certainly the best at Trivial Pursuit. Not because of me, because of your son. He knew answers that blew the rest of us away."

There was that genius thing again. She would have to deal with that soon. She couldn't believe five days had gone by since she'd spoken to Mrs. Harrington, and she hadn't even opened the private-school folders. She had to be the queen of procrastination. After the Harvest Festival, she promised herself; she'd deal with it then.

"But I did hold my own with the arm wrestling," Dylan added, drawing her attention back to the conversation at hand.

She smiled at the male pride on his face. "Congratulations. What did you think of the warrior games?"

"I particularly enjoyed painting my face," he said dryly. "No one bothered to mention that little tradition to me."

She laughed. "I figured it was something you had to live through. But you seem to be in one piece."

"One tired and hungry piece. What do you say to treating me to dinner?"

"Treating you?"

"Hey, you owe me. I just spent a night on the very hard, rocky ground by Sullivan's Lake with your kid."

"Okay. You're right, I owe you. But -- I hate to admit this. I'm not a very good cook. Grandma usually does the honors, and she went to visit a friend. When I called up to the house a minute ago, Carly said she and Wesley were eating macaroni and cheese out of a box."

"Good. You can take me out, then. The kids are already fed."

"Don't let Carly hear you call her a kid. She'll have your head."

Dylan grinned. "I'll be careful. So what about dinner?"

She hesitated, knowing there were a lot of reasons why they should not have a meal together. The only problem was, she couldn't think of what they were at this very second.

"I don't think it's a good idea," she got out.

"Since when has anything we've come up with been a good idea?"

She felt herself weaken at his mischievous wink. He looked so damn good. His hair was damp from a recent shower, his skin glowing from a fresh scrubbing. He looked delicious, he smelled even better. She was hungry, she realized. Unfortunately, it wasn't for food. But food was what Dylan had in mind. At least, she thought it was. There was a little gleam in his eye that she didn't quite trust, but what the hell. "All right. I'll take you to dinner.
