Chapter 13

KYOMI WANTED TO DRESS up. That entailed making a trip to the only decent dress shop in town. Checking off that option, she came to a compromise: a skirt and tank top. It was more fashionable, showed more leg than she usually bothered with, and was cheap, so it did not break her personal bank.

She feared Hunter would look like a runway model and she like the frumpy sister. She was facing the facts of them being together. If she lacked the confidence to acknowledge, handle and allow that, she should cancel their date right now. There was nothing in her, no flare for fashion or style that she could suddenly awaken or become interested in. She was natural. Easy. And it wasn’t so much a statement of herself as just forgetting to brush her hair, or apply her makeup or because it never occurred to her to dress up. Or do more. Like accessorize. Or even buy accessories.

Hopeless.

Kyomi showered and scrunched up her curls. She wore fresh makeup, perfume and put the new outfit on. If it were anyone else but Hunter, she’d feel kind of sassy with the results of her work. She might think, hell yeah, she pulled it together. But, (sigh), it was Hunter Rydell, the only guy she knew who wore boutonnieres in his suit jacket just because. The men she knew only wore them if they were ushers in weddings.

He showed up on time, as was agreed upon. Dust plumed around the already sullied sportscar that once gleamed from expensive polish and being waxed to perfection. Now it was dull and streaked. Even if he washed it, her driveway would provide a dust storm to make it look like he didn’t.

She opened the front door to leave and shut it behind her. He stopped back a few feet and whistled at her.

Rolling her eyes, the heat began to radiate across her face. Surprised at the blush, she turned away. He laughed gently and with care as he stepped closer. She had to look up at him, straining her neck and tilting her chin higher. The sunlight caught his shiny, ginger hair. Lord, he was gorgeous. So were the brightness of his blue eyes and gleaming flash of white teeth. His left hand came up and cupped her cheek. “You’re blushing. At my wolf whistle. It’s all about your looks tonight. There’s some girlie-girl buried inside there and together, we’ll find it. I can see that now.”

She rolled her eyes. “Don’t get too big for your lapels, Hunter Rydell. This came from the discount store.”

“It’s ravishing on you. And so are you. And I love hearing that our date sent you shopping, since you never do that ordinarily.”

“Do you prefer another vapid, shallow shopping queen? Someone like Franny? See? You do have a type.”

He leaned forward, touching his forehead on hers and making her heart blip at the closeness and his warm breath on her face. “I do not want you to be vapid, shallow or a shopping queen.
