A couple of days later, Edith propped open the door to her she-shed and went back inside to get a box of books. Twenty-two could fit inside a case, and she carried it with heavy steps around the house to her SUV.

“What’s happening here?” Finn asked as he pulled up in his truck. He rested one elbow out the window, and she didn’t see his thermos yet.

“Loading up for tomorrow.” She dusted her hands. “Sure would be nice to have some cowboy muscles to help with the other boxes.” She planted her hands on her hips and cocked one out.

Finn laughed, parked his truck, and got out, thermos and all. He neared, and she caught the familiar whiff of peppermint on his breath. “Good morning, beautiful.”

“Morning yourself, Chuckles.”

He did chuckle, and then he touched his lips to hers. He’d clearly been chewing that spicy-hot peppermint gum, because she tasted it on him. “You’re burning me,” she whispered before kissing him again.

“Doesn’t seem to be bothering you.” He grinned as he pulled away.

“I don’t know how you chew that stuff. It’s so spicy.”

“I like it,” he said. “Makes my mouth feel clean.”

“Mm.” She nodded back toward the house. “So…the boxes?”

“Who’s gonna haul these into the library for you tomorrow?”

“I’m sure they’ll have a cart or something,” she said. Besides, it wasn’t like she couldn’t do it, but why should she with Finn here?

“Maybe I could come,” he said as he started for the corner of the house.

She watched him disappear around it. “Come?” Edith’s heart beat at her to follow him and find out what that meant, so she broke into a jog. In the side-shadow of the house, she found him already at the back corner. “You want to come?”

“I could help with the boxes,” he said. “Go grab breakfast so I’m not bothering you during your talk. And we can stop and look at a little farm on the way back.”

Edith’s eyebrows shot up. “A little farm on the way back?” She stopped running to catch him, but Finn kept on moving. He went through the propped-open door and came back out a few seconds later with one of her boxes.

As he approached, he grinned at her. “A place just went up for sale only a few miles outside of town. West. Looks pretty good online, and they said I could come by tomorrow. Any time.”

Edith blinked at him. “You want me to go with you?”

“I can’t make a decision like this myself,” he said. “And I don’t trust anyone more than you.”

“Okay, then, Hacky Sack,” she said, a smile playing with her mouth.

That delicious grin graced his face for only a moment before he tipped his head back and poured laughter into the sky.

“Yeah, you liked that one, didn’t you?” she teased, pleased she could make him laugh like that. She hadn’t known this much joy in a long time, and it sure felt good as Finn shook his head and went by her with her box.

She went
