Chapter Ten

The silly phrase kept repeating itself in her brain all through the day. It’s possible. She was being ridiculous. She needed to concentrate on other things. But it was hard to do whenever she looked up, it seemed Cole was always someplace in her viewing area. Of course, the courtyard and gym and cafeteria were all pretty much in the same area so it would be hard to not see the same people two or three times… or more. And the fact that he was taller than most, and he was looking very hot… in the good sense of the word… in the deep blue western cut shirt and black jeans, black boots, and black Stetson… yep. He was hard to overlook.

“Isn’t it childish how some females just make a ridiculous spectacle of themselves whenever a single, good-looking man comes in the room?” Darcy’s words brought Emma out of her thoughts and she straightened from the counter and looked at the woman lining up the next selection of cakes and pies to go on the auction block. Darcy had brought a few of the baked goods from her diner and she had volunteered to help Emma, also. They were having a good time of it, too.

“What are you talking about now?”

“Some of the females in this town, who become simpering idiots over some guys when the rest of the time they’re usually smart women. I don’t understand it. And when the guy is clearly not interested and has already set his sights on some other female, they just don’t give it a rest. Pathetic. Shoot me if I ever exhibit any of those symptoms.”

“Can you be more specific, or dare I ask?”

Darcy nodded toward three women standing across the room at the dart throw. Emma looked that way and then her attention was caught and held.

“Jennifer, Chloe, and Ashley. They are making fools of themselves over our sheriff there.”

Cole was standing with an older couple and the three women were smiling too brightly and fluffing their hair and acting foolish a few feet from him. Emma could certainly agree with Darcy. Her gaze stayed on Cole. To his credit, he wasn’t being taken in by their acts.

“They just don’t stand a chance, you said? Why do you think that?” Emma dared to ask the question but she wasn’t sure she wanted to hear the answer.

She felt confusion. Was Cole interested in someone? Did Darcy know who it was? Did Emma want to know?

“Because the man clearly is taken. And we both know by who… or is it whom?”

Emma’s gaze swung to Darcy. “We know who?”

Darcy looked at her and then a grin spread on her face. “Are you serious? You really don’t know, do you? The guy is taken. I never thought I would say that. But I agree with his selection, so I’ll say it. It’s you. Cole Drayton has eyes only for you. Case in point… he’s looking this way right now. And it isn’t one of these fine cakes that he’s eyeing.
