“I don’t know what to say,” Glory whispered as Cal walked her around to the passenger side of his truck. A gentle evening breeze cooled her skin and cleared her head. Too bad her body was still all hot and ready to go, and her heart—well, she didn’t want to go there.

Enjoying a romantic dinner for two at sunset with the sexiest friend on the planet could do that to a girl.

“Not that you’ve changed your mind, I hope,” Cal said, unlocking her door. “We’ve already signed on the dotted line and just think about how hard poor Chuck worked on that teen-approved menu for you. I don’t know if his delicate man feeling could handle that kind of rejection.”

“He’d recover.” Not that she cared. Guys like Chuck came into her bar nightly. Cocky, handsome, and looking for a fun, no-strings night, and for whatever reason they were always interested in Glory. But she wasn’t interested in no-strings or the Chucks of the world.

Nope, in true Glory fashion, she was interested in a guy who wanted to be her friend. “I’m more worried that I’ll never be able to repay you for making this happen.”

“Like I said earlier, I had already signed on to do the build,” Cal said, sounding so exasperated that Glory smiled. “I was running by some details with the owner this morning, I happened to mention the Harvest Fest, and he was gracious enough to offer his help. It was simple.”

“Uh-huh,” he said, taking a step toward her, and with nowhere left to move, Glory found herself backed up against the side of his truck. He studied her mouth and then his eyes met hers and held. “You’re still smiling.”

“Okay.” She bit her lower lip to keep it from curving up.

“Not helping,” he said, the low gravel in his voice kicking her pulse into overdrive and her resolve to the curb. But then his eyes became intense and heated and, as usual, they gave away nothing of why he’d helped her or why he was so determined to keep it a secret.

Then again, Glory had a secret of her own. One that involved his daughter and an inappropriate dress. The new deadline gave Payton a second chance to come clean before submitting her application, but if Cal discovered Glory knew about it before him, she didn’t think he’d give her even a second to explain—let alone a second chance.
