So far, so good, Sawyer thought as they drove back toward town. They’d thanked Boyd for the ride and helped him load the horses into the trailer before heading into Eureka Springs for lunch. The horseback ride had been a raving success, and they’d decided it would be fun to keep their hats and boots on. In fact, the way Lily had lit up with the horses made Sawyer consider using some of his acreage to build a barn and get a few horses of his own. That way whenever Lily came to visit, she could ride to her heart’s content.

But he was getting ahead of himself … even with the mind-blowing kisses they’d shared that morning, she’d been carefully avoiding any relationship talk. He wouldn’t rush her, but it was killing him not to reach for her every second he got. Would she welcome holding hands with him? Would she resist it? As the clock ticked down the minutes until she had to leave, it grew harder and harder to be patient.

He’d meant what he’d told her before: she was still the same Lily deep down. And yet, she was different. In some ways for the better, and in some not so much. He loved her newfound confidence and the way she carried herself with more authority now. Where the old Lily had only had big dreams and goals, now it was clear that she knew she had the ability to make them happen, and he found that confidence incredibly attractive.

What he liked less was the fact that she was constantly on her phone. He knew the time and energy that went into making a business, but that came at a cost. It was almost as if she’d become so absorbed in succeeding that she was forgetting how to live in the moment. That was the New York side of her he was seeing, and he wasn’t sure he liked it.

“You completely read my mind,” she said, breaking through his thoughts as he pulled into the parking lot of Amigo’s, the popular Mexican food restaurant in Eureka Springs.

He smiled. “I figured you would want to eat here at least once during your visit.” They had eaten here weekly back in high school, and Amigo’s was always her first choice.

She grinned. “You figured right. With all of the restaurants we have in New York, I still haven’t found anything that compares to this place.”

“I’m glad to hear that Eureka Springs still has a leg up on the big city in some respects,” he said, only half-teasing.

She looked at him, trying to gauge his mood. “It has its moments.”

He nodded and climbed out of the truck to get her door. He would have to be more careful. He’d forgotten how easily she could read him. He didn’t want his resentment of New York to come through right now, because deep down he did resent the city for stealing Lily away from him. He was happy for her, but he could still hold a grudge against the place that she’d chosen over Eureka Springs.
