“That was delicious. You’re a great cook,” Quade said as she finished her last bite of dinner.

Penny couldn’t stop smiling. It was such fun having dinner with someone who she got on well with. Someone she trusted, and who she knew wouldn’t push her into something she wasn’t ready for.

Penny had enjoyed watching Quade eat. She seemed to really enjoy her food, and it made Penny feel warm inside to feed Quade.

“I didn’t used to be. When I left my parents’ house, I couldn’t boil an egg.” Penny pointed to Quade’s plate. “And don’t expect so unhealthy a dinner the next time. I just wanted to make something I knew you’d enjoy to say sorry for the other day. Next time there’ll be more colour on your plate.”

“What do you mean?” Quade said.

“Eat the rainbow. Purple, oranges, yellows, and lots of green. That’s what makes you healthy.”

Quade rumpled up her nose cutely. “That sounds like vegetables to me.”

“Exactly.” Penny winked.

That was another new thing for Penny. Flirting. She never indulged in it as it might land her in a situation that panicked her, that she’d have to talk her way out of, but with Quade, it was fun, and she felt comfortable indulging in it.

Quade laughed. “As long as you cook them, I’ll give anything a try.”

“Are you ready for dessert, or do you want a break?”

Quade patted her stomach. “A break, I think. I’m stuffed.”

Penny stood up and picked up her phone. “Why don’t we sit in front of the fire for a while. I can show you our picture.”

Before they’d started dinner, Penny had taken a picture of them together and posted it online. Her followers appeared to love Quade, so she gave them what they wanted.

Penny led them over to the couch and pointed to the two dogs, sprawled out in front of the fire. “They’re quite contented.”

Quade took a seat on the couch. “No wonder, after that beef dinner you gave them.”

Penny picked up her iPad and flopped down beside Quade. She kicked off her heels and put her feet up.

“Okay, you ready to see what the world thinks about you?”

When Penny got no immediate response, she looked at Quade and saw her eyes almost caressing her legs and feet, and surprisingly she didn’t panic.

This is fine. It’s Quade. It’s safe.

“Quade?”

“Oh, sorry. Yes.” Quade turned her attention to Penny and fidgeted with her tie.

Penny was excited when she saw the likes and hits their picture had received. “Wow, this is amazing, look at all the likes and comments.”

Quade leaned in to look closely, and Penny felt warmth spread up the right side of her body. Usually close proximity to people turned her cold, but Quade was warming her up.

“You really are popular,” Quade said.

Penny smiled. “Read the comments, Sexy Farmer.”

She had to stop herself from giggling too much as Quade’s eyes went wide at some of the appreciative comments and improper suggestions.

“How does it feel to be popular? There’s some proposals in there too,” Penny said.
