CHAPTER ELEVEN

SHE WAS RIGHT.

But that knowledge didn’t make Serena happy.

The official diagnosis was in. Jackson’s ankle was fractured. Even the doctor was surprised that Jackson was able to get around as well as he had been. As it was, the doctor had set him up with a walking boot.

“We shouldn’t be here,” she said as they stood at the edge of the town square. “You should be at home resting your leg.”

Jackson turned and stared into her eyes. “Have you ever been to a Christmas market?”

“Arff!”

Jackson smiled and gazed down at Gizmo. “I wasn’t talking to you, boy.” Jackson’s gaze rose until it met Serena’s again. “I was talking to you.”

“Um, well, um...no. But I’m not exactly dressed for it.”

His gaze skimmed over her white coat, red scarf and faded jeans. “There’s nothing wrong with what you’re wearing.”

She lifted a hand to her hair. “But I didn’t do anything with my hair.”

“You look cute with a ponytail. It suits you. You worry too much. You’re beautiful just the way you are.”

The way Jackson stared so deeply into her eyes made the rest of the world fade away. In that moment, it was as if just the two of them existed. He was staring at her like—like he wanted to kiss her.

Her gaze lowered, taking in his very tempting mouth. The thought of once again being held in his very capable arms and feeling his mouth pressed to hers was quite tempting. Was it possible that he was the first man to like her just the way she was?

Her father had always been disappointed in her. It didn’t matter if it was her choice in movie roles or if it was the style of her haircut. She’d never gained his approval and then he’d died on her before anything could be resolved between them. One minute he was giving her a hard time about not aligning her romantic relationship with her career. And the next, he was lying on the floor, dead, from a massive heart attack. That was it. No time for “I love yous” or “goodbyes.” It was just over—in a heartbeat.

Maybe that was why she let herself become involved with her leading man. Shawn was great-looking and he could say all the right things, but she soon learned that it was all a show. He was constantly acting, being whoever he needed to be to impress people—to get a leg up in the Hollywood world.

But Jackson didn’t want anything from her. Not even an interview. He was the first man who’d ever been comfortable with who he was without having to put on a show for the public, which surprised her. After all, Jackson’s career was about projecting a certain image for the public, but here he was with scruff on his jaw and his hair a little ruffled by the breeze and he wasn’t the least bit worried about his appearance.

She liked being treated like a real person instead of a star. A smile lifted her lips.
