CHAPTER

Thirteen

J ack’s truck wove slowly through town matching the pace of the day—his favorite kind—church, lunch with friends, and a lazy drive. Livy had scooted next to him for the short drive back to the inn from Jen and Owen’s, head resting on his chest. She smelled of lavender and sugar. Jack steered with one hand on the wheel and one around her shoulder, as if they were high school sweethearts without a care in the world.

If this morning had been any indication, Jack would not have guessed this is how the day would have turned out. Livy’s eyes had given her away as soon as she’d met him and Jen in front of the church. They were cloudy, overcast with the burden of her worries. He was so grateful she’d shared her concerns. Now, her eyes sparkled again like the sun reflecting off a lake.

“Anything on your mind?” Livy pulled him back to the moment, those dancing eyes looking up into his.

“Just thinking about how much fun today was.” Her eyes trapped him as the truck idled at the town’s stoplight. A horn sounded behind them. He waved an apologetic hand to the driver and proceeded under the green traffic light, continuing up the hill toward the inn.

“Your friends are great. I think Jen’s going to be a good friend for me here,” said Livy.

“I can’t tell you how glad it makes me to hear you say that.” Jack adjusted his hands on the wheel, and Livy straightened as they arrived at the inn. “I adore her, and you know I adore you. My mom once told me that a woman’s best asset is her best friend. So, she can be your best friend while I keep you company.” He still couldn’t believe they both had prayed the same prayer asking God for someone to keep them company. And though he delivered the phrase with a wink, he meant it with his whole being.

“Why, I believe you’re flirting with me, Mr. Bowdon.” Livy raised one eyebrow and looked at him sideways.

“Oh, man.” In a dramatic fashion, he placed a hand over his heart, head falling against the seat.

Her laughter filled the truck’s cab with a sweet melody. “What?”

He rolled his head against the headrest to look at her. “That’s the second time you’ve called me Mr. Bowdon when you’re flirting with me. No idea why, but let’s just say coming from you, it’s pretty darn effective.”

“I’ll keep that in mind…Mr. Bowdon.”

“Oh, you are trouble.” Their lips met softly, her cheek velvety against his hand. Jack’s cell phone interrupted. He glanced at the number and every muscle in his body stiffened. Claire. He silenced the call without answering. The playfulness disappeared as if someone stabbed a pin to a balloon with no warning. What did she want? All this time and now she calls?

Keys jingled. Livy. “Oh, I’m sorry. It always catches me off guard to see her number.” There was still so much Livy didn’t know about Claire.

“Claire? Do
