CHAPTER SIX

Chance did his best to ease out of the sleeping bag and unzip the tent flap without waking Shannon. He liked listening to the world before it got ready to get on with the day.

He’d always been an early riser, and today was no different. It was pretty nice waking up with Shannon next to him this morning. She’d stayed the night even though he had doubts she’d be able to sleep. Boy was he wrong. She’d fallen asleep as he talked to her about the stars. There was always something surprising to learn about a person when you slept with them. He’d observed from the camping outings he’d been on that people were prone to sleepwalking, eating, and a host of other things they weren’t aware they did.

And Shannon was no different. For all her beauty and grace, she snored like a bear cub taking a really good nap. She also talked in her sleep. She rambled on about shoes and the folders on Sam’s desk. But it was when she started mumbling about Paris that’s when it seemed like a nightmare started. He’d nudged her a few times, and she’d woken in a haze only to cuddle closer to him and go back to sleep. He still remembered the look of panic on her face when Janie mentioned their trip to Paris at the restaurant. For all the frivolity they had, Paris had been a different experience for Shannon, but her friends didn’t seem to pick up on the tension.

The sounds of nature coming alive as the day began were like music to him. It gave him a chance to clear his head and think. He’d been so preoccupied with Shannon the last couple of days he’d forgotten to lament about the things going on in his life. Not that he had all that much to complain about. Business was great. The trade show had opened his eyes to new merchandise and services he’d like to offer in the store. Now it was time to make a final decision about whether or not they were ready to open another store. Usually going down his list of professional accomplishments were enough to get his juices flowing, but not this morning. He’d spent the night with a gorgeous woman and didn’t lay a hand on her. It was depressing, but he’d learned something new about himself. He’d resisted previous immature impulses in the name of getting to know Shannon. That was worth more than a hot one-night stand. He had the feeling it could be more than that.

He heard her stirring inside the tent.

“Good morning.” He leaned down, pulled back the flap and reached for her hand to help her up.

“Good morning to you too.” She grasped his hand. She stood and looked around. “What time is it?”

“Five a.m.” He smiled. “I would ask how you slept, but I think your hair tells the whole story.”

“Do I have bed head?”

He reached up and smoothed her hair. “I think you mean sleeping bag head.
