Chapter Six

The next morning, while standing in the guest bathroom located at the front of the house, Darcy heard Dylan’s truck entering Tom’s driveway. Her heart leaped and she quickly applied another coat of lip gross and fluffed her hair to make her waves seem fuller. Then she raced through the bedroom, grabbing the new sage-colored parka, lavender scarf and gloves she’d bought last night while shopping with Tom, and snatched up her new boots.

She tip-toed down the stairs as not to wake Tom. Upon returning home from their shopping spree, he’d learned there was an equipment problem at the Grist Mill and had to check on things. She’d heard him come in around two a.m. The walls of the house were thin, so she had lain in bed and listened to the shower running before falling back to sleep around two-thirty. He would wake soon, but she didn’t want her first date with Dylan to start off with Tom grinning over them.

Well, it really wasn’t a date, she mused while slipping into her boots. She was just going to help out a friend of a friend.

She opened the front door.

Dylan’s knuckles were poised to knock.

“Good morning.” The sight of him sent her heart thumping madly against her rib cage and a smile bloomed on her lips.

“Hi.” His gaze drifted down to her feet and then snapped up to meet her eyes. “Nice boots.”

She maneuvered her right foot with her toe to the floor, showing off the oversized faux bearskin boots that were guaranteed by the manufacturer and the sales clerk to keep her toes warm even in sub-zero temperatures. “Thanks. Tom and I went shopping last night somewhere off the mountain. I have no clue where. East or west. All I know is we drove downhill on this winding road for nearly thirty minutes.” Why she was being so chatty was beyond her, but she couldn’t seem to stop herself. Dylan just stood there, smiling at her and looking too delicious for this early morning hour. She flipped her hair over her shoulder. “I’m glad Tom went with me and I didn’t drive myself. Coming back, the road we took was really dark. There aren’t a whole lot of road signs on this mountain either, except for moose crossings emblems and directional arrows to the ski lodge. Have you ever seen a moose? Of course you have. You live in Black Moose. You had to. I’d love to see one. Oh, I bought a new coat too.” She unfolded and held up the down-feathered coat up for him to see.

“That will certainly keep you warmer than your leather coat.”

Amber flecks brightened his rich mocha eyes and caught the morning light, reflecting her happiness back at her. Her fingers curled into the soft material as she fought the desire to throw her arms around the mountain man’s neck and kiss him good—like he’d kissed her yesterday.

“You better put it on,” he said, breaking her thoughts. “It’s cold out here.” He pushed his gloved hands into his coat pockets.
