Amy rolled over in bed, gazing down at the face of a sleeping Gavin. Otto had taken to him right away. That was all she needed to know. Her dog was a very good judge of character. If he didn’t like someone, then she steered clear. Gavin had been a hit with Otto. As a matter of fact, Amy had to wiggle her way in between them on more than one occasion.

Gavin opened his eyes and looked up at her. “Good morn.” He stretched his arms overhead before rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

“Hi.”

“Yer beautiful.” He touched her lips with his finger.

Amy was speechless. It wasn’t often she heard those words come out of a man’s mouth. “Thanks.” Funny thing was that she felt beautiful. It wasn’t something she thought about…ever, but today was different. And it was different because of the man in her bed. He actually looked at her like she was beautiful. She’d been a tall, skinny girl growing up and the boys made fun of her mercilessly, so she had always had a hard time believing that anyone would think her pretty. Gavin made her feel she was and it wasn’t just in words. He treated her like she was the most special woman on earth. Reluctantly, she thought about getting up. “We should get something to eat. I have to be at work in an hour. I’m opening the shop today.”

Gavin propped himself up on his elbows. “I’ll come with ye.”

“You don’t have to. You can go back to the inn if you want to sleep more or you can stay here.”

“I can no’ sleep more. I’m awake. I’ll come with ye.”

“I have to work this time. No more rolling around in the stockroom.”

The disappointment on his face was comical, but Amy did her best not to laugh. “We can come back here later.”

The disappointment vanished and the smile returned.

“Darn it!” It was Amy’s turn to be disappointed. “I have to meet with the ladies for dinner. We’re finishing up the wedding plans. I forgot all about it.”

“I’ll wait for ye at the inn.”

“Good thinking. Okay. We’ve got to get going. Get that cute butt of yours out of my bed and get dressed.”

He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back down.

“Gavin, as much as I’d love to spend all day in bed with you, today can’t be that day.” Why did she have to be sensible, adult Amy? She’d give anything to be able to stay home in her nice warm bed with this nice warm man. But she was a shop owner and if she gave in to her desires, she’d find herself out of business before long, or at the very least, Sue would probably hate her. “Come on.”

“As you wish.” He took her hand and bringing it to his lips, kissed her palm. “I would do anything for ye, Amy. All ye need do is ask. All that is mine I would give ye. I offer ye me heart.”

Those words were exactly what Amy wanted to hear.
