Chapter 8

Coffee?

Coffee!

Bacon!

I was in heaven. And Kent was a freaking angel.

I blinked open my eyes, momentarily forgetting where I was. Oh yes. Alaska. I was in Alaska. Somewhere. I checked my cell phone for messages. Normally I heard from Mom every few days. I wouldn’t be hearing from her today. Or from Ransom. No service.

After a quick trip to the bathroom to clean up, I dressed in the brand new jeans, T-shirt, and sweatshirt I found in the closet then hurried down to the kitchen for some breakfast. Last night’s dinner had been huge, but my stomach was growling this morning. Empty.

I arrived to find Kent standing at the stove, a pair of sweatpants hanging from his hips. No shirt. Now that was a view worth a million bucks. More like a billion.

A year from now, would he be standing in our kitchen, cooking breakfast? Or will this thing we’d started unravel by then? God, I hoped it wouldn’t. Not only did this guy bail me out of one scrape after another, but he did so eagerly, happily. I appreciated that more than he could ever know. But that wasn’t why I couldn’t imagine my life without Kent anymore. Since spring break, Kent had slowly, gradually become one of the most important people in my life.

Openly admiring the view, I helped myself to a cup of coffee and sat at the massive farm table in the kitchen’s center.

Kent grinned over his shoulder. “You’re alive.”

“It’s a miracle, I know.” I sipped the coffee. It was mind-blowingly good. “Sorry. I totally crashed last night.”

“Not a problem. I caught up on some work.”

“What’s on our agenda today?”

“We could finish the walk we started last night. Maybe go for a hike.”

“Sounds like a plan.” I motioned to my jeans. “At least this time I’m dressed for the weather.”

“Good.” He set a plate heaped high with eggs in front of me. “Eat up. You’re going to need your strength.”

I eyed the mountain of yellow. It rivaled the massive snow-capped mountains outside. “There is absolutely no way I can eat all that.”

“Trust me. You’ll be sorry if you don’t. This air will make anyone as hungry as a grizzly.” He placed a second plate of eggs on the table, added a plate full of crispy bacon and then sat across from me and dug in. “I figure we’ll get in at least ten miles today.”

Was this really the Kent I knew? The one who normally drove his fancy cars everywhere? Who lived in suits and ties? Who practically dripped fine culture from every pore?

“Ten?” I gulped hard, not because I was trying to swallow a mouthful of eggs.

“What’s wrong, princess? Is that too much for you?”

My hackles went up. And then I got really annoyed because it was so easy for him to push my buttons. Even now.

I jammed a big mouthful of eggs into my mouth and washed it down with coffee. “Hell no. Ten miles is nothing. A walk in the freaking park. Bring it, Jeremiah.
