Rachel sat on a bench just outside the dressing room and waited for Patrick to try on the clothes they’d found. She asked herself yet again what she was doing. Instead of finding a way to get him to sell and leave town, she was making up excuses to spend time with him.

Patrick came out of the dressing room and struck a pose with one hand on his hip. “What do you think?”

“That you should never become a model.” She grinned to let him know she was joking. “Honestly, though, I don’t think that’s the right color for you. Go try on the other shirt.”

He raised an eyebrow, but did what she asked. A few minutes later, he came out, and Rachel had to suppress a gasp. The blue of his shirt brought out the blue in his eyes, and it made her heart beat just a little faster.

“That’s perfect. I think you should wear that for the celebration next weekend.” Rachel tried not to stare at the way the shirt showed off the muscles in his chest, or how the jeans fit just right. “Go change, and we’ll find you a cowboy hat and some boots.”

“Uh, I don’t think so.” Patrick laughed. “Do you realize what would happen if my coworkers found out I owned a pair of boots? I would be mocked for the rest of my life.”

Rachel twisted a strand of hair around her finger and batted her eyes. “Please? Just for me? And who knows—maybe you’ll actually like them.”

Patrick shook his head and went back into the dressing room. Rachel stood and walked over to the rack of hats, trying to find one that looked right for him. She stopped at a white one and picked it up. It was straw, which meant it would be cooler for the summer.

“White? You sure about that?” Patrick’s voice made Rachel jump.

She set it on his head and situated it. “See for yourself.”

Patrick checked the mirror mounted on the wall. “It’s not too bad, I guess. But what about this one?”

The hat was black, and the brim was a little narrower than Rachel would have chosen, but it looked good on him. Really good. He tried it on and put the other one back on the shelf.

“I like it. That brim won’t keep out much of the sun, but it works for you.” Works wasn’t the word she wanted to use, but she could already feel her face burning. Why did he have to do this to her? “Is that the one you want for sure? Because that was a little too easy.”

“What can I say? I know what looks good on me.” He laughed and put it on the pile of clothes they’d gathered. “I’ll go check out and we can head back.”

“Uh-uh. You’re not getting out of this so easy. We have one more stop.” She dragged him over to the boots and made him sit. “What size do you wear?”

“Twelve, usually.”

Rachel pulled out the twelves that she could find and set them next to him.
