After dinner, Samantha retreated to her room, relieved that for once there were no wedding duties tonight. She had a lot to think about. With a pad of paper in front of her, she intended to make one of those lists her sisters insisted kept their lives on track.

Unfortunately after a half hour of staring at the blank page, she hadn’t come up with even a first step to take to see if this new career path might be viable. Why did Gabi and Emily think this was such a great process? It just made her realize how little she knew, not even the kind of questions she needed to be asking.

When there was a tap on her bedroom door, she welcomed the interruption. “Come in.”

It was her grandmother who looked in. “Ethan’s downstairs.”

Samantha glanced down at her old jeans and his football jersey and sighed. Of course he was.

“Tell him I’ll be down in a minute,” she said, already stripping off the jersey.

Cora Jane winked. “Good decision. That jersey’s a dead giveaway about your feelings for him, and he’s already seen you in it once.”

“I’m aware of that,” Samantha said tightly, rummaging in a drawer for something not only prettier, but less of a red flag emotionally.

She found a blouse with three-quarter sleeves and a few ruffles on the front. With a couple of buttons left undone, it was very feminine. She considered changing to capris and putting on shoes, then shrugged. He’d dropped by unannounced. This was as good as he was getting, she decided, padding to the stairs in her bare feet.

Downstairs, she found him in the kitchen with Cora Jane, Jerry and Gabi all studying him expectantly.

“Feel like going for a walk?” he asked, an almost desperate note in his voice.

Samantha might have enjoyed his discomfort if she hadn’t been so eager to get away from their speculative looks herself. “Sure. I’ll grab a sweater and my shoes.”

His gaze immediately landed on her bare feet with the fire-engine-red polish she’d chosen for her pedicure on Friday night. She intended to exchange the sexy shade for a more sedate pink for the wedding, but the red was obviously a very good choice the next time she had seduction on her mind. Ethan looked a little dazed.

As soon as she’d grabbed her things, they left the house. Only when they were heading toward town did he seem to draw a deep breath.

“Does my family make you nervous?” she asked, smiling.

“They didn’t until they started plotting. And I have to admit, Jerry scares the daylights out of me. He’s a big guy and he’s clearly very protective of you, Gabi and Emily.”

“Jerry’s harmless,” she insisted. “Unless Grandmother or one of us asks for his help. Just so you know, I haven’t felt the need to do that in a long time.”

“But you did?”

“Sure. When I worked at the restaurant, there were guys who came on to me. Most of them I could handle, but if I had any doubts, one glance in Jerry’s direction and he’d have my back.
