Scarlett wondered if there was such a thing as being too happy. She and Lucas sat on the Compound’s back deck, overlooking the glorious Blue Ridge greenery. The house sat in a neatly manicured clearing, but the trees pressed in all around them. Scarlett sucked in a deep breath; she smelled pine, and the faint scent of applewood smoke from the grill Lucas had used to make their dinner. They’d eaten big, juicy t-bone steaks, a fantastic kale salad, grilled butternut squash, and baked potatoes with butter. The food had tasted all the better because they’d eaten at a beautifully set glass patio table, a pair of outdoor speakers playing old country-western music. Tesla sprawled under the table, sleeping deep after eating a big piece of Scarlett’s steak.

Scarlett decided that too happy wasn’t a real thing, just happy enough. She stretched and rubbed her stomach, content beyond words. Lucas returned from clearing away their dinner plates, his big hands holding a bottle of wine and what looked like two miniature wine glasses.

“Do you like sherry?” Lucas asked. “I have some red and white wine too, but I like a digestif after a meal like that.”

“Never had it,” Scarlett admitted. “I don’t know much beyond chardonnay or gin and tonic.”

“Oh, this will be a treat, then,” Lucas chuckled, reclaiming the chair next to hers. He set one of the glasses before her, opening the bottle of dark, fragrant liquid.

“This is Pedro Ximénez,” he explained. “It’s sweet, and not too heavy.”

Scarlett gave it a doubtful glance, pulling the tiny vessel closer.

“Why is this wine glass so small?” she asked.

“It’s a sherry glass. Sherry is very strong, so you want to sip it. You wouldn’t drink a full glass like with red wine.”

“Oh.”

“Try it,” he urged.

Lifting the glass, Scarlett took a sip. The alcohol hit her first, and she crinkled her nose. After a moment, she tasted the sweet, strong flavor. Like brown sugar, only darker.

“It tastes like… molasses?” she queried.

Lucas’s brow raised, and she gave her another one of his killer smiles.

“That’s amazing! That’s exactly the flavor of this wine. Molasses and raisins,” he said, filling his own glass. He took a sip, licking his lips and sighing. “That’s good.”

He was too much. No male should be so good-looking and nice. Not to mention the fact that he was suave and educated. Scarlett had gone to a state college for two years, but she’d dropped out when her mother died. She was nowhere near as polished and well-learned as Lucas, and she found his intellect intimidating.

“Scarlett?” he prompted. She looked up from her lap, realizing that she’d retreated into her thoughts.

“I’m just a little overwhelmed,” she said, her lips twisting in a shy smile.

“It’s just wine,” he teased, leaning back in his chair. She shivered at the way he watched her, a predatory stare.

“It’s more than that. You have all this,” she gestured at the house. “Probably a lot more too, if I had to guess. I’m just a girl from Florida. I have no belongings, no family, no career… I don’t fit into your world, Lucas.
