CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Before she knew what was what, Laura was shaking hands with both Mr. Farley and Harlan, and they were wishing her well in her new marriage. And Farley was assuring Steve that if he ever wanted to go fishing, he knew the best spots for bass in Colorado.

Steve helped her solicitously back into the truck. She could hardly tear her eyes away from the magnificent ring that he had just paid for. Somehow she hadn’t expected that they would just walk out with the ring. She had imagined there would be a decent and decorous interval while the ring was sized, or custom-made, or something.

But Steve had been delighted that it fit so well, and he had gone off with Mr. Farley into the back office, and come out apparently bosom buddies with the older man.

“Now where to, sweetheart?” he asked, turning on the ignition. “FedEx, or the courthouse?”

“FedEx, I guess. Do you know where it is?”

“You may have to give me directions.”

“I don’t know about you, but I’m hungry,” Steve said after they had loaded the truck bed with the bulky packages and locked the lid. “It’s two o’clock and all we had for lunch was coffee.”

Laura was too nervous to be hungry. But now that he mentioned it she supposed they should eat.

“Is there someplace around the courthouse where we could get a bite?” Steve asked.

“Are we going to the courthouse?”

“I thought you wanted to get married,” he said. He sounded put out.

“I do. But aren’t we putting the cart before the horse?”

“Well, I admit that I would rather not have a civil ceremony,” Steve sounded relieved. “But since there’s no waiting period in Colorado, I thought we could get her done today. We can follow it up with a bit of a bash in a few months, when we have time to organize one.”

“Aren’t you taking a lot for granted?” Even to her own ears, she sounded waspish.

The smug satisfaction that had enveloped him ever since they had gone into the jewelers vanished as if it had never been. “Cold feet?” he asked.

“We haven’t even had sex yet,” Laura pointed out. Her face was hot and she swallowed convulsively.

“We’ve had lots of sex, darling,” he objected. “Just not the baby-making kind. We’ll get there. I’m a shade disappointed that you’re not enjoying the ride, sweetheart.”

“I didn’t say that,” she returned from a throat that was suddenly dry. “But from where I stand, it looks as though you don’t even want to have sex with me,” she blurted.

“I’m sorry you haven’t been satisfied.” The tattoo Steve’s thumbs made on the steering wheel was no longer lighthearted. “I’ll have to do something about that. What do you say, we wait a bit before we have that lunch?”

She glanced at him, he was back to looking as smug and self-satisfied as a top-of-the-food-chain predator who had just swallowed his prey and found it delicious. Hastily she changed the subject. “My ring is beautiful.”

“I’m glad you like it. But it’s the hand it’s on that gives it its true beauty.
