Sam couldn’t believe he’d lived through some of the most dangerous firefights a helicopter pilot could imagine, only to come to Santorini on vacation to nearly be killed by a crazed driver. That incident was something he would not be reporting to his commander.

And, since he was thinking about his report, he figured he might as well make it.

“Did you decide on a photo to share with the CO?” He pulled his phone from his pocket and handed it over to Kinsey.

She scrolled through the shots she’d taken and showed him one of himself frowning. “In this one, you’re not grimacing as much as some of the others.”

“No. But I look like I ate something that tasted bad.” Did he always have that scowl on his face? No wonder his commander was concerned about his mental stability. “I frown too much.”

“Not always, but most of the time.” Kinsey laughed. “Don’t worry, by the end of these two weeks, I’ll have you smiling most of the time, not frowning.” She scrolled past several shots of them together.

“Wait. What about them?” He brushed his finger over the screen to back up to one of him and her. “I’m almost smiling in this one. That ought to make the old man happy.” He punched the numbers to Facetime his commander and waited for the connection to go through and for his boss to answer.

Kinsey’s lips curled upward. “I like that photo. You do appear almost happy there.” She looked up at him. “You really should smile more. Life is too short to be unhappy all the time.”

Her smile made his heart lighter than it had been in years and gave him the uncontrollable urge to… He leaned forward and kissed the tip of her nose. “Thank you for helping me with this little project.”

She blinked, her smile slipping slightly as color suffused her cheeks.

Now he’d gone and done it. “Hey, I’m sorry. I crossed the line.” He raised a hand. “I promise not to kiss you again…unless you ask.”

Her cheeks reddened even more, and she turned away. “No. No. That’s okay. I kind of liked it.”

He tipped up her face toward his. “Then why are you turning so red?”

“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “I guess because we just met yesterday, and I shouldn’t be feeling this way about you so soon.”

“Feeling what way?”

“Nervous…excited… confused.” She glanced up at him.

Her brow pinched in that cute way he’d come to recognize when she was hesitant or anxious. “I don’t mean to make you nervous. I promise, I won’t attack you like those men did.”

She laughed. “I know you won’t. That’s what I like about you. I feel like I can trust you. After all, you’ve saved my life.”

“And you saved mine, today.” He cupped her cheek in his palm and brushed his thumb across her lips. “You had a breadcrumb.” And then he stared at those lips, wishing he had kissed them instead of the tip of her nose.

“If I asked you to kiss me, would you?” she whispered.
