Gina took off her robe and climbed back into bed. Her anger at Lee had been watered down, diluted by the touch of Noel’s fingertips on her skin. She turned the memory over in her mind and a surge of butterflies took wing in her stomach.

She picked up her phone and searched for “Noel Hamilton.” Why hadn’t she thought to do this before? Because she’d assumed he was a drunk drifter with nothing to offer the world and Ben said it would be okay. Funny how perspective could change once you got to know someone.

Noel’s name came up, along with an impressive gallery of sand sculptures—pirate ships, mermaids, elephants, castles, even the Taj Mahal. He’d been modest about his talent and his prospects. From the looks of it, he won plenty of sand-sculpting contests, many with grand prize payouts in the tens of thousands of dollars.

So why did he live in a van?

Because he could. Because he was someone who set his own rules and went his own way. Because he was smart and strong and talented enough that he didn’t have to live like everyone else.

Gina managed a small laugh. This was stupid. It felt like she was thirteen again and over the moon because Bryson Howard had asked her to dance at the school Valentine’s Day party. She’d been hyper for a week and driven everyone in the family crazy.

But this was different. A small shard of hope had emerged in the grind of daily life. Maybe, just maybe, there was love out there again, waiting for her to find it.

In love with Noel? Definitely not. She wasn’t ready, and besides, she wasn’t going to fall for him just because he was handsome and gentle and had offered to help her out for the morning. But she could fall for him. The memory of hugging him last made her shiver again. She burrowed into the pillow and pulled the quilt over her head, shutting out the morning light and burying thoughts of Noel, leaning on his crutches and offering to take on her sons.
