He regarded her warily. “What kind of list?”

“Career decisions,” she said with grim determination. “I could use an outside perspective.”

“Bad idea,” he said.

“It has to be done,” she insisted. “Maybe you have all the time in the world to relax, but I can’t sit around wallowing in indecisiveness indefinitely.”

He chuckled. “How many days have you been wallowing in anything here?”

“Three, four, something like that.” To her amazement, she couldn’t remember precisely. Maybe she was getting too good at the whole relaxation thing. That should be a warning to her. She needed to get focused—fast. A life without focus was a life that could spin out of control. Of course, hers had managed to slip off the track even with all her safeguards in place….

“And you’re going to be here three weeks,” Josh said. “Isn’t that what you told me the night we met?”

She nodded. “What’s your point?”

“You’re pushing for too much, too fast. The real answers won’t come to you for at least another week or so.”

“Why on earth would you say a thing like that?”

“It’s a proven fact that you have to spend serious time unwinding before you can get in touch with your real heart’s desire.”

“A proven fact?” she echoed skeptically.

He nodded. “Absolutely. Trying to force things will just set you back. You’ll wind up with a decision that’s based on logic, not emotion.”

“You are so full of it, Madison.”

“But I’m charming,” he said with the engaging smile that never failed to make her heart take a tumble in her chest. “And you have to admit that the whole relaxation thing is working out exactly as I predicted.”

“True,” she admitted reluctantly. “But what’s wrong with logic? The world would be a better place if everyone made their decisions based on logic.”

He shook his head. “No. It’s critical to factor emotion into the equation. Without it, we’d all be dutiful little drones. Trust me on this. You can’t be making lists this soon, or you’ll just have a bunch of cut-and-dried choices.”

She sighed heavily. “Then what on earth will I do with the rest of the afternoon?”

“I have a plan,” he said cheerfully.

“Why doesn’t that surprise me?”

“Actually, it was your sister’s idea.”

She regarded him suspiciously. “Which one?” She was pretty sure any ideas tossed out by Melanie would involve getting all those tulip and daffodil bulbs in the ground.

“Maggie. Why? What difference does it make?”

“Never mind. What sort of brainstorm did she share with you?”

“Trust me, it’ll be fun.”

She was about to protest that she wasn’t going anywhere with him without details, but then she fell silent. The truth was, she did trust him, even though she knew precious little about him beyond his name and his ability to bait a hook. Given the way she was feeling about the whole trust thing these days, that was nothing short of a miracle.

She glanced at him and saw that he was grinning as he awaited her decision. “Okay, you win,” she said.

“See, now, putting yourself into my hands wasn’t so hard, was it?” he teased.
