"Not another word, Nicole, you go to that dance and don't even think about using me as an excuse to back out."

Nicole rolled her eyes and looked up at the fluorescent light on the ceiling of her father's hospital room. He was quite insistent. She wished she hadn't even mentioned that she'd agreed to go to the Orange Blossom dance with Wyatt. Because now that she'd decided to back out, she couldn't even use her father's return home as an excuse. He wouldn't let her.

"Dad, let's just see what happens. We’ll see how you feel."

"I feel fine," he retorted. "Maria will be there if I need her, and you can get out and have some fun. Please, Nicole, it will make me feel less guilty about you having to drop everything and come down here if I can at least feel you're doing a few things to enjoy yourself."

"I'll see to it that she does enjoy herself, Josh."

Nicole glanced up as Wyatt entered the room, looking as devastatingly attractive as ever in khaki slacks and a short-sleeved cotton shirt. He'd obviously heard part of their conversation. She wondered if he'd heard the part where she'd told her father she was planning to back out of their date. If so, he gave no indication.

"So, you’re going home today. Is there anything I can do to help?" Wyatt asked.

"Rope that doctor and get him to sign the release papers!"

Nicole grinned. Her father had been asking the nurse every fifteen minutes when the doctor would be releasing him. He'd been fully dressed and ready to go for two hours, ever since Nicole arrived at the hospital.

"Afraid I can't help there. How about a ride home, though? From the looks of Nicole whenever she steps out of that SUV of yours, I'd say your air conditioning's on the fritz again."

Nicole slowly turned her face toward him and raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"You've been looking a little wilted lately," Wyatt said with a grin. "

Nicole ground her teeth. The man was infuriating. Where another man might never notice something as simple as how a woman's hair looked, Wyatt Clayton not only noticed, he felt free to comment on it.

"Not that you don't always look lovely, Nick," he said, his eyes sparkling with laughter.

Right then and there, Nicole resolved that she was going to look so gorgeous Friday night when he showed up to take her to the dance that he'd be utterly speechless. She didn't quite know how she'd accomplish it, since the only hairdressing shop in Windover was one of those quick-cut places with girls who looked like they should be in gym class at the local high school. Plus, she had nothing to wear. But she'd find a way to wipe that knowing grin off his face if it was the last thing she ever did.
