Nineteen

Andrew woke up with a huge smile on his face. The night before had been wonderful and it was safe to say he was completely smitten with Willow McKay. He was going to see her again at lunch and he couldn’t wait.

Also his friend Morgan was coming today with the screens for the backdrop to cover the houses at the entrance to the village. She’d be here for a few days painting the screens and erecting them.

He got up and quickly washed and dressed. He made himself some toast, wrapped it in a piece of kitchen towel and left the house.

He automatically looked down towards Sunrise Cottage in the hope he might see Willow, and was surprised to see Jacob walking up from that direction.

‘I’m guessing I’m not who you were hoping to see,’ his brother said.

‘Your ugly mug versus Willow’s lovely face, hmm tough choice,’ Andrew said, as Jacob fell in at his side and they started walking towards the village.

‘I’ve just seen her,’ Jacob gestured over his shoulder.

‘You did?’ Andrew looked back towards Willow’s house but sadly couldn’t spot her.

‘She was sitting on the bench in her front garden with a big happy grin on her face. I didn’t talk to her, I didn’t want to interrupt whatever daydream she was in. She didn’t see me anyway. I’m sure she was too busy thinking about you.’

Andrew smiled at that, although the smile fell off his face when Jacob swiped a slice of toast from the paper towel.

‘Hey!’

‘I’m hungry.’

‘Then go to the pub for breakfast.’

‘Oh I’ll do that too, this is my starter.’ Jacob took a big bite.

Andrew rolled his eyes. ‘What were you doing down there anyway?’

‘I was just out for a walk.’

‘Really?’ Andrew asked, dryly.

Jacob laughed. ‘Genuinely. I thought I’d explore a little. It’s a nice place.’

‘Don’t start that again. This place is too small for you and your ego.’

‘My ego would fit in perfectly here, thank you very much.’ Jacob munched on his toast. ‘OK, maybe the walk had the added bonus of seeing if you spent the night at Willow’s house again.’

‘Ha. I knew it. Actually I was the perfect gentleman.’

Jacob snorted. ‘You mean she turned you down.’

‘No, we’re taking things slow.’

‘And I bet that’s killing you.’

‘Like you wouldn’t believe,’ Andrew said and his brother laughed.

Jacob finished his slice of toast and then went to take another but Andrew held it out of reach.

Jacob shrugged. ‘So it went well, last night?’

‘Yes, it was wonderful. I know you’re going to give me hell over this but I don’t care. I honestly think I’m going to marry this girl.’

‘Christ!’ Jacob muttered. ‘I told you not to fall in love with her.’

‘I haven’t. Yet.’

‘I thought you were taking it slow.’

‘We are but… she’s pretty bloody special.’

‘You’ve been on one date; do you know how ridiculous you sound?’ Jacob said.

Andrew couldn’t help smiling as he nodded. ‘I’m well aware how it sounds, there’s just something different about this girl. We even talked about having children last night.’

Jacob groaned and Andrew laughed, having only added that little titbit to wind his brother up.
