Chapter Ten

The next morning, Ryland woke up early even though he hadn’t slept much the night before. He was too aware that Julie was over in the guest house. Their meeting had certainly gone differently than he’d expected, but he’d gotten to know her better really quickly.

He texted and asked her to let him know when she was awake. When she said she already was, he threw on some clothes and walked down the road to see her. As he walked, he thought about her anxiety and what it might mean for them. He knew she was more worried about it than he was.

She came out onto the porch looking fresh and simple in a white t-shirt and jeans with her long brown hair cascading down her back. He loved how her generous mouth turned up in such a wide smile, and he loved that right now, it was all for him.

“How are you doing after yesterday?”

She shrugged and leaned against the support pillar as he came up the steps. “I desperately wish I could blank that whole scene out of both our minds. But I can’t, and you don’t seem to mind as much as I do, so I’m ready to roll with it. I was thinking about having some of your mom’s apple pie for breakfast. Want to join me?”

He smiled and nodded his head toward the door. “That sounds like a perfect idea.”

A few minutes later, they sat together on the front steps, eating apple pie and drinking cold milk, watching the mist over the lake evaporate as the sun rose higher in the sky.

“This is really good,” Julie said. “And that casserole last night was amazing. Your mom is amazing.”

“Yeah. She supported us after my dad died by working at a cafe.”

Julie scooted closer to him. “I figured out your dad wasn’t around, but I didn’t know he’d died.”

Ryland felt his chest constrict as his memories took him down bittersweet roads. “Yeah.” He’d tell her all about it one day, but today should be happy. He took a deep breath. “So, I’m going to be doing rehearsals all day and recording a track with Marvi Dunlap tomorrow.”

“Oh, who’s that?”

“You don’t know her?”

“Nope. I’m actually not big on the current music scene. I found you by accident.”

“Best accident ever,” he said.

“I agree. So, when are you going to kiss me?”

Ryland’s eyes widened. Did she really just ask that? “I didn’t want to rush you…”

She put her plate down on the porch and leaned toward him. “Then I guess I’ll rush you.”

As much as Ryland had been wanting to kiss her, as much as he wanted to crush her against him and take control, he kept his hands clenched next to him as she moved closer. When her face was inches from his, she cupped his face in her hands and stared up into his eyes. Then she flashed a grin and pressed her soft, sweet lips to his.

It was the purest, most delicate kiss he’d ever experienced, but it ignited a devastating hunger inside him.
