Chapter Twenty-Nine

Bennet

It’s official. Katherine D’Arcy is the worst painter ever born. I chuckle low, under my breath. She’s so beautiful, I assumed it would translate into beauty at the end of her brush. Hardly.

Fuck, if she doesn’t look adorable trying to make something of the muddy puddle of paint. Annnd…now it’s dripping off the edge of her paper. So funny. So damn irresistible.

Why am I sitting so far away from her again? Oh, right. Because if I were any closer I’d have her on her back and neither of us would be getting anything done. This day is for her. Keep yourself in check.

Katherine frowns at her work, but I’ve got to give her credit. She doesn’t give up. I can admire that more than any painting. I wish for the same perseverance because the song I’m working on is seriously kicking my ass.

This is not because I’m distracted by Katherine. Far from it. I wouldn’t have the words I do have if not for her. She gives me so much to work with I don’t know where to start. She’s like a fairy princess sitting there on that mound. Her dark hair is set off against the lush green of the woods. Tiny red flowers lie like confetti in a circle around her. She leans in close to get a better look…

If I could paint a word-picture to capture this moment, and find exactly the right chords, this would be something to show Jordan. For now, there are only a few lyrics in my notebook:

Traveling girl, sets my heart in a whirl

Eyes so bright in a face so fair, painted flowers in her hair

Traveling girl, pack my bags and go

To a place I’ve never known

It’s close to something good. Not quite right, but there’s promise.

I glance down the hill at her again. She’s dabbing tentatively at the paint. If she asks how I’m faring, I’ll say I’m struggling, too. Don’t want her to feel bad about…

Oh, lord, she’s ruined another piece of paper. I smother another laugh and bend over my page so she doesn’t know I’m watching.

Katherine sighs and looks up at the sky. It exposes her neck, and I imagine traveling my mouth over that graceful column. She kisses better than anyone I’ve ever known—better yet because she seems so unsure, as if she doesn’t know her own power.

At that thought, Doyle’s warning shoots through me. City girl. Young. Pretty. Make you think there’s something there, then she’ll be gone. You let her, she’ll break your heart.

I shut it down. No need to let his age-old bitterness ruin my moment. It’s not that I have romantic ideas about Katherine pulling up stakes and moving to Little Bear forever, but maybe I could convince her to stick around a little longer. I can’t remember the last time I felt so right with any one person.

Again, I hear Doyle grumbling in my head. He’s wrong. When it comes to Katherine, he’s wrong. Whatever happens, I know one thing. Katherine D’Arcy would never hurt me.
