Chapter Nine

Dax was torn in two, and he had a feeling Katy was as well. He recognized those exasperated sighs and those looks that warred between extreme joy and overwhelming panic.

He recognized it because he was on the same rollercoaster of emotions.

Even now he was trying not to get his hopes up that she might extend her trip. But then, what difference would it make? One more week wouldn’t change their circumstances.

But, much as he tried to tell himself that, he was as excited as a kid at Christmas at the prospect of more time with this woman.

Heck, he’d be content to skip dinner and just walk Main Street over and over. This was all he’d ever wanted. This was perfection. Holding her hand, some light conversation that was as easy as breathing…he could get used to this.

He wouldn’t, but he could.

When they’d done one lap of both sides of the street, and Katy had looked her fill, he led her back toward the restaurant.

He was aware of the stares when they walked in, and he knew Katy was right. The looks had as much to do with him as with her.

Though he had also been right—this town wasn’t used to seeing a beauty like Katy roaming the streets. He’d just about lost the ability to speak altogether when she’d opened the door to her home earlier.

She was a vision.

Heck, she was always a vision, but in that dress and with her hair all done up, he felt like he was escorting a movie star through town.

So of course she’d caused a stir in this town, where any new person stuck out, let alone one wearing a knockout dress and killer heels. But the fact that this beauty was with him, a born-and-raised rancher with a track record for failed marriage and a runaway wife?

Well, the gossips were likely having a field day.

Not that he cared. He was too busy enjoying his date. He’d loved seeing his hometown through her eyes. She might live in a big city but she’d seemed at home in this small town. She’d seen a charm in it that even he had a hard time recognizing because it was all old hat for him.

The restaurant was crowded because it was a Saturday and a holiday weekend to boot. But Dax knew the owner and had called ahead. A small table in a back corner was waiting for them, far from the prying eyes of the other patrons.

He watched her read the menu, finally having an opportunity to gaze at her to his heart’s content. Yup, she was just as beautiful as he’d thought. No doubt about it. But beauty was skin deep, and this woman was more than that. She had facets and personality and a unique charm that made his word feel electric. When she was around him, it felt like the lights switched on in his little corner of the world.

She looked up and caught him staring, her eyes lighting up with laughter. “Do I have something on my face?”

He shook his head.
