Pete finished up as much work on the porch as he could before dusk fell, then went inside Rose Cottage. Jo was sitting at the kitchen table, still looking rattled by their earlier exchange. He could relate to the feeling. He’d been in a state of perpetual turmoil ever since she’d opened the front door the first night he’d come by about fixing up the porch. The unexpected wonder of seeing her then was still with him.

“Penny for your thoughts,” he said when she looked up at him with a startled expression as if she hadn’t been expecting him.

“My going rate’s a lot higher than that,” she said, dragging her attention back from wherever it had wandered.

He picked up the piece of paper on the table. “I assume our deal is all spelled out on here.”

She nodded. “I gave you a break from what I’d charge in Boston.”

Without even looking at the paper, Pete frowned at her. “I don’t want a break.”

Her chin came up. “Well, I gave you one anyway.”

He tossed the paper on the table. “Take it back.”

“I most certainly will not. Stop being so blasted stubborn. You haven’t even looked at it.” She handed it right back to him. “See? It’s not like I’m going to go broke.”

It was a nice round number, but it wasn’t enough. “Fair is fair, Jo. This isn’t even half as high as what Mike would charge me.”

She faltered at that. “Really?”

“Really,” he assured her. “If you won’t make the change, I will.” He picked up the contract, filled in a new set of numbers, then scrawled his signature across the bottom.

“This is more like it,” he said as he handed it back to her.

She frowned as she read it. “You can’t be serious.”
