Chapter 12

During the drive to town, Reagan had debated over and over how she’d tell Hunter she knew about the lottery. The longer she kept it from him, the worse she felt. What if he found out she knew from someone else? When she thought back to their financial interactions, she worried that the times she’d asked for more money or had taken money he’d offered would be looked at differently, like she was gold-digging. Surely he would believe that she didn’t know. Would he hate her or question her growing affection for him?

The thought made her heart race. Growing affection? Well, she couldn’t deny it. Hunter was a sweet man and someone she enjoyed being with. His kisses were mind-melting, especially that last kiss. It was something straight out of a fantasy. He’d pulled her flush against him, kissed her, and then told her she was beautiful. Plus, the little kiss on the nose? Holy wow. It had been such a little thing but so, so intimate.

“Uh, Reagan?” The sound of Hunter’s voice broke through her thoughts.

She smiled. “I’m sorry.” Now she realized the truck was parked and the engine was silent. How long had they been sitting in front of his childhood home? “I…”

What if she told him and he did get angry? Could she really risk losing the other half of the money? It wasn’t her fault that she’d found out, but they’d started this trip as barely friends. What if he didn’t believe her?

“Are you okay?”

For now, she’d act as if she had no idea. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

He took her hand and smiled. “Come on. Let me show you the house. After we get your ring, we’ll take a walk around town before dinner.”

For a man who thought he lacked charm, he sure had a lot. “Okay.”

He helped her out of his side of the truck, and what she found herself liking more than anything was that he kept holding her hand when he didn’t have to.

The outside of his parents’ home appeared to be freshly painted, and the wrap-around porch looked perfect for an early morning swing and watching the sunrise. She could imagine Caroline and King rocking back and forth. “This is a cute house.”

“I think so.”

They walked to the door, continuing to hold hands. He opened it and held it for her to enter first.

Her mouth dropped open as she stepped inside. “It wasn’t locked?”

“There’s no one in this town who’d steal. I don’t know that we’ve ever locked a door. Everyone knows everyone,” he said, following her in.

Reagan looked around the modest living room. Compared to the home at the ranch, this one was tiny, but it had been updated recently. “I love the colors. The soft gray is nice.”

“Yeah, we all pitched in and had the house remodeled earlier this year. I would have done it myself, but I was in the middle of a few projects at the time.” He let go of her hand and turned in place. “The men who worked on this did a really good job.
