TWELVE

It was four o’clock on the dot when I pulled up to Clarissa’s house. I got out of the Jeep and walked up her front walkway. Hoping to get a glimpse of Scott, I knocked on the door and waited.

I had to admit as I stood there I was a little nervous about our date or non-date as it was. My palms were a little clammy and I shuffled from foot to foot, willing the door to open.

When it did, my heart just about stopped beating. She was wearing a pair of khaki shorts that showcased her toned legs and a tight tank top that had just enough cleavage to have my mouth watering. She was absolutely beautiful.

“You look great,” I choked out.

“Thanks. I was afraid I’d be underdressed.” She shut the door behind her and we walked side by side to the car.

“Sorry. I didn’t think about that when I said it was a surprise.”

“It’s no biggie. Are you still not going to tell me where we’re going?” I opened the door for her and she got in.

“Nope. Still a surprise.” I flicked the tip of her nose, shut the door and rounded the hood.

Climbing in, I started the car and pulled away from the curb. With the radio playing in the background, we headed north out of town.

The sun was shining and the wind whipped her hair around as it blew through the windows. She laughed as we talked about Meredith and Tanner’s recent hookup, and we both sang along when Bob Seger and Bruce Springsteen came on the radio.

Our whole drive out to the bluff, where I loved to go to think, was light-hearted and everything I had come to be used to whenever I was with her. Things between us came so easily, like we had been together for years rather than knowing each other for a few short months. The only way I could explain it was that instant connection I felt the first time I had seen her. Something in me knew she was that piece I needed in my life. I wasn’t taking that knowledge lightly. I was going to do everything in my power to keep her with me where she belonged.

About an hour after we started our adventure, I pulled the Jeep from the main road and we climbed a rocky trail leading up the side of a mountain. Rissa grabbed the handle hanging from her door and leaned forward to watch the scenery as it passed by.

“Aren’t you just a little freaked out driving up this steep incline?” she asked with a slight tinge of trepidation in her voice.

“Not really. I’ve been off-roading for a few years now.” I smirked and shifted gears. “Although I
