Emma finished her work day and on her way to the car, decided it was time to make a visit to Grieders' Stables. It had been a week or more since she'd gotten her horse fix. She rarely let that much time pass between stops.

Buckling her seat belt, she pulled out of the parking lot but curiously, instead of turning in the direction of her little apartment in Myrtle to change into her stable clothes, the car turned in the opposite direction, almost like it was its own decision. She smirked and went with it. The car was heading toward Pawleys Island.

She savored the bright sun shining through her windshield, and when the road dipped close enough for a glimpse of the ocean, she took notice. Even though she was born and raised here, she wasn't the type to not appreciate the beauty and her luck at being native. By the time the little car was crossing the bridge to the island, her radio was blaring and she was singing along: “Lay down, Sally! No need to leave so soon!”

When she was only a few blocks from Jeremy's house, she reminisced on last night's kiss. Again. Afterward, she'd laid in bed, absentmindedly running her fingers over her lips, grinning. It was a good kiss. It was a good start.

Of course, the smart side of her brain cautioned her. Not a good match. Not a good fit. He could hurt you. With his history … and what he did to your family.

She shoved those thoughts out of her head. He'd made mistakes and served his time. He was a different man now.

And she liked him.

She couldn't help the attraction she felt for him. She'd fought it, hadn't she? And her heart wanted what it wanted. Just then, she made herself a promise. She wouldn't over-analyze this one. She'd take it day by day and just let it be.

She pulled in front of his house, ran to the door and knocked. The fact that there was no answer even after waiting a little while, coupled with the sight of his big monstrous pickup truck sitting right there in the driveway, led her to walk around the back. And she was rewarded with the sight of Jeremy, his tee shirt soaked in sweat and clinging to his chest, leaning over the top of a long, squat dresser about waist-high, working the electric sander. He gripped the power tool in his hand, pushing long, even strokes across the smooth wooden surface, back and forth, back and forth. Protective goggles covered his eyes along with the upper half of his face. His biceps bulged and the muscles in his lean back strained against the wet cotton. He took her breath away.

She just stood, enjoying the view.

When he seemed satisfied with his progress, he turned the sander off and pushed his goggles back on his forehead. She did nothing to attract his attention and yet he turned. When he saw her, a big grin popped onto his face.
