Chapter Ten

L ucy grinned as Cade buckled her in again. While she was perfectly capable of fastening her own seatbelt, there was something endearing about the way he did it. As though it was all part and parcel of helping her into the car, like her comfort and safety were his personal responsibility.

“Can’t be too careful.” He smiled.

“So I hear.”

He gazed at her tenderly as he stepped back and closed her door, and Lucy fought the urge to touch her mouth. Her lips still tingled where he’d kissed her, her body still alive with that electric hum. She chuckled to herself as Cade settled into the driver’s seat.

All that from a little kiss.

She’d never felt so alive with any man before. Or so safe. Honestly, she couldn’t think of the last time she’d let anyone else drive her car. And she’d never agreed to go to a guy’s house on the first date before. Not that they were dating. Not yet anyway, but Lucy knew in her bones it was inevitable.

Heck, she’d already invited him on a day trip, hadn’t she?

As Cade pulled them out into traffic, she marveled at how comfortable she was with him, at how right this felt - him driving them somewhere, them spending time together.

“So,” Cade smiled, “I know berries are on the list. Anything else?”

“I like to see what they have, but I was thinking apricots, salad greens, and some herbs.” Lucy gazed out the window, taking in the town. “This place is really cute, quaint.”

Most of the small towns she’d visited or driven through before had seemed run down and relatively uninhabited, but Pine Haven Falls had a vibrancy to it. Sure, there were a few buildings whose paint jobs were a bit faded, but they were in good repair and bustling with activity. It was clear people did more than shop here.

“Quaint.” Cade chuckled. “Not the word I’d choose for Pine Haven.”

“Why not?” Lucy glanced at Cade, appreciating his strong profile. “I think the mishmash of architectural styles is charming.”

Cade laughed at that, and Lucy felt her heart stutter at the sight of his unguarded joy. Just when she’d thought he couldn’t get any more handsome.

Man, he really was something else.

Lucy saw a huge house with enormous garage doors along one side.

“Is that the fire department?”

“Yes.” Cade nodded. “And the library isn’t far from here. Have you been there yet?” He took another turn and Lucy recognized the area. They were getting close to the farmer’s market.

“You guys have a library?”

“Don’t sound so surprised.” He glanced at her with a smile. “We may be small, but Pine Haven’s a fully functioning town.”

“Sorry,” she chuckled. “Most of my experiences with small towns have been driving through on road trips where all you see is a tiny part of it - the town square, shops, and stuff like that. It’s hard to imagine people actually living there.”

“Well, we definitely live here.”

“I can see that.” She grinned. “And I’m glad you do. I’m glad we met, Cade.
