A good-night kiss may be appropriate, but do not jam your tongue down her throat.

Ask her questions about herself and then listen to her answers.

Boo sauntered over and plopped down at his feet. The dog groaned and tipped onto his side, gave one thump of his tail and closed his eyes. Owen considered heading to town for a late breakfast, but reconsidered when he looked around the cluttered kitchen. Stacks of newspapers, piles of plastic containers, empty cartons, plastic bags full of plastic bags and enough old Tupperware to fill a museum. He wouldn’t toss anything he remembered his mother using or anything he recognized from when he was a kid. But junk was junk. If he was going to start somewhere, it may as well be here in the kitchen.

He’d have to get the junk out of here and into the Dumpster behind the old calf shed before he tackled the summer kitchen, which thankfully didn’t look like an army of hoarders lived in it.

“We’ve got a real mess on our hands,” he told the dog. Boo responded with a little snort but didn’t budge. Owen rubbed his foot along the dog’s spine. “I think it’s about time I did something about it, don’t you?”

But instead of getting up from the table, he looked at Meg’s papers again.

He’d been rude to her last night.

He hadn’t wanted to hear her apologizing for what happened between them. He hadn’t wanted to sit across from her when all he did want to do was take her out of the café and kiss her until neither one of them could breathe. And that was pretty damn frightening.

All he had to do was look at her and he was back to being the lovesick college kid who’d thought he’d found true love.

He hated feeling like that. Hated the stupidity of it.

Hated remembering the consequences of falling in love with Meg Ripley. She’d cost him the ranch. She’d taken his youthful dreams and tossed them back in his face.

Was it fair to hold a grudge? Well, sure. But it wasn’t necessary. He was a man of the world now. He could certainly manage to deal with old feelings while he cleaned up an old house.

Besides, he felt sorry for her. She was still stuck in this town, after all of her dreams. He knew she’d gone to college. He’d heard she’d worked in five-star restaurants. But she’d landed back in Willing and was now involved with this dating school thing and trying to get her business going. If the town was in as bad a shape as Jerry said—and the figures he’d seen were grim—then Meg was fighting a losing battle. The woman had a lot going on. She probably needed help.

She’d said she wanted to spruce up the old cabins, rent them to the TV crew. She’d sounded as if she had high hopes for making some extra money during what he imagined would be a typically lean winter.

He could help with the dirty work, the heavy stuff, the hauling.
