Ed’s heart pounded in his chest. Mitch’s words literally took his breath away. He wanted to whisk her away to the Don Cesar hotel, get a beautiful suite, and make love to her all weekend. Given how emotionally fragile she appeared right now, he tempered those emotions.

“Mitch, I would love that very much.” He thought about that for a second, then amended, “I know you’ve been through a lot with John, but if you trust me, I’ll never do anything to disappoint you.”

The smile that enveloped her face brightened his soul. “I know I can trust you. I always have. But where do we go from here?”

He shook his head. “I don’t know. We’ll go along as it happens, I suppose.” He gave her hands another gentle squeeze. “We’ll take this slow. You set the pace.” He leaned over and grazed her cheek with his lips. “Whatever happens, happens.”

The waitress brought their check, and Ed narrowly beat Mitch to it. On the way back to his truck, Mitch slid her hand into his and their fingers laced together.

They spent the rest of the afternoon shopping for boats. Ed started to think of it in terms of “their” boat and not just “her” boat. They actually found a couple that Mitch really liked and felt were within her price range. She kept track of the possibles in a notebook she carried with her. Afternoon storms crept in from across the Bay, forcing Mitch and Ed to conclude the day. The return drive to Aripeka was a quiet one. They held hands nearly the entire way home.

They beat the storms to Aripeka, but the skies behind them quickly darkened. Ed parked the truck close to the store in case it was storming when he decided to leave. When they entered the store, Dan did a double take and looked at them quizzically.

“What happened to you two?” he asked.

Mitch felt the broadening smile on her face. “What are you talking—” A loud clap of thunder interrupted and startled her. “Better get the computer down,” she said, and moved to do just that.

Thunder rumbled again, only a few miles away. Mitch smacked herself on the head. “Dammit. I think I left the computer on at my house. I’d better go turn it off.” Pete tried to follow her out the door and she commanded him to stay.

Ed called the disappointed dog over to him and scratched him on the head. Mitch grabbed her car keys off the counter and walked out the door. Dan must have been watching Ed’s face, because he laughed.

“Ed, you look like a kid in love.”

He turned and smiled. “I am.”
