ELEVEN

Brad couldn’t wait to get out of the bedroom. Several times he’d wanted to kiss her—passionately. But she’d broken his heart already, and he didn’t want to feel that pain again. Strange to think they’d only known each other a few days, and that he had allowed himself to be struck by Cupid’s arrow. That had never happened to him before.

If they had remained on his bed, he would have succumbed to temptation and kissed her, and never stopped. Yet, he knew she was only here because she and Tom had argued. She confessed that she still didn’t know her feelings, and Brad couldn’t push the issue. He needed to allow her to think this matter through clearly. All he could do was pray that she’d consider him over Tom.

When they reached outside, he stopped them. She looked at him with wide, questioning eyes. He grinned and pointed out toward the yard. The outdoor lights were lit brightly, making it easy for her to see the surprise.

Her gaze drifted that way, and seconds later, she gasped. “A shrubbery maze? Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not joking. When I was ten years old, my mother thought it would be fun to have one. Of course, I think she mainly wanted one so she could send her children into it. That was a great way to stop quarreling because we had to work together to get out of the maze.”

“Smart woman.” She nodded.

“So, do you want to go through?”

She hesitated as a different expression crossed her pretty face. Why did she look worried? Was she wondering if he’d try to kiss her? Yeah, she did have something to worry about if that’s what she was thinking.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“I’m a little claustrophobic, and I worry that if I’m in the enclosed maze…”

“I’ll be your hero and protect you.” He stroked her hand. “Besides, it’s not enclosed. All you need to do is look up and see the stars. Not only that, but the place is lit up like a birthday cake.”

“True.” She took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. “Then let’s go.”

He kept his fingers linked with hers as he led them toward the maze. When he’d started dating many years ago, he always thought this would be a great place to bring a girl, for privacy, of course. Funny, how he’d never brought a girl out here. So why was he taking Tyger? And if they shared a wonderful moment, would she still end up breaking his heart?

As they started into the maze, he could see the excitement on her face. The manicured shrubbery was a head taller than Brad, giving them the enclosed feeling. She did remarkably well for being claustrophobic. Her eyes danced as she took in everything around them. He’d do anything to make her look this way all the time.

“You do know your way out, right?” she asked.

He laughed. “Well, I used to, but I haven’t been inside for a few years, so I might have forgotten.”

She cocked her head and pierced him with a teasing glare.
