Molly couldn’t take it. She wasn’t going to confess to being in love with Zeke, but she had to ask Danica for advice on what to wear. It was forty-nine degrees, still cold even though not the usual freezing for February. Did she wear her big trusty puffy coat that gave her zero sex appeal? She had a camel-colored wool peacoat. Maybe that? But was that ranchy?

She called Danica. Her friend would think she just wanted to make a good impression on her boss. And she’d have perfect advice.

“Hmm, the puffy coat would keep you warm on the tour for sure,” Danica said. “But the peacoat has that more professional vibe and it’s almost fifty, so I say the peacoat. And wear your cute flat brown boots—the knee-high ones. You have that one pair of dark skinny jeans that fit you so well. Wear those with any sweater that makes you feel happy and you’re set.”

Oooh, her skinny jeans generally stayed way to the side of her closet in favor of less “formfitting” ones. But they did look good on her. Live a little, Molly! “Okay, sounds good. And I was thinking the off-white cashmere my parents gave me for Christmas. Or is that too much for a petting zoo? I mean, this is dressy for me. But this is my boss and his whole family, really, so I do want to look nice.”

“Cashmere is always a yes.”

“Hair up or down?” Molly asked.

“Hmm, toughie. Normally I’d say up so that Lucy won’t be grabbing at your curls but I love your hair when it’s in all its loose glory.”

So does Zeke, she thought, remembering the touch of his hand on her hair, on her face. A fluttering warmth gathered in her stomach.

Molly stared at her ho-hum face in her closet mirror. She’d always thought of it as a serviceable face, a perfectly nice face, but just nothing that would ever turn a head. And yet, this face, these ordinary features, had turned the head of the man of her dreams. She smiled, again remembering, almost able to feel the imprint of his warm, soft lips.

“Should I wear a little makeup?” Molly asked. “I do to the office, just a little powder and mascara so I don’t look like I just rolled out of bed. But this is a Sunday afternoon at a dude ranch. I’ll be petting goats and piglets.”

“Either way sounds good to me. You can’t go wrong with your unadorned pretty face or with a little polish.”

Molly liked unadorned. But Zeke was used to seeing the slightly improved her from nine to five every day.

Hey, wait a minute. Last night, when Zeke had come over to check out the menu board, when he’d kissed her, she hadn’t been wearing a stitch of makeup. She’d change her outfit and fluffed her hair, but there’d been no powder, no mascara. Just a little dab of her favorite solid perfume on her wrist.

And he’d seemed to like all that—all that nothing—just fine.
