Adam threw bags of fertilizer into the bed of his truck. He planned to take it home with him and haul it to the farm in the morning. He started his engine, and his eyes automatically scanned the dusky surrounds. Several logging trucks rolled through the heart of town. The last one squealed its brakes, and his heart lurched. His gaze involuntarily shot to the scene.

He saw a woman with a camera and had to shake his head. She obviously hadn’t realized that as soon as she stuck her foot onto the crosswalk, all traffic on both sides of the divided road would come to a screeching halt. The trucker motioned her across. They seemed to carry on some kind of argumentative conversation with hand motions. It appeared she’d only meant to go as far as the median to take some photos, but the trucker wasn’t moving until she gave in and proceeded across all four lanes of traffic. He waved and stepped on the gas. She stood with her hands on her hips, her camera dangling from a shoulder strap.

Thankfully, the squeal of brakes wasn’t caused by Carly. He missed her. There was always the possibility of seeing her when he came to Sweet Home. Generally, he did business in Brownsville, but the fertilizer had been on sale. Anyway, since he wasn’t volunteering at Sweet Life, and with Jimmy miffed at him, things had been too quiet where Carly was concerned. And it was driving him crazy. Like a moth drawn to the fire, he hopped in his truck and veered off Main Street, heading toward Hawthorne.

When he drove into Carly’s drive, he sat in the truck for a moment, reconsidering. While he’d been lonely, things had also been uneventful and calm. Boring, in fact. Now that he’d cooled off over Jimmy’s threat, he didn’t take it too seriously. And with Dad—he stiffened his backbone and opened the door.

Carly’s lights were on inside the cottage and Adam rapped three times, then remembered that was Jimmy’s knock and added one more. She didn’t keep him waiting long. But when she opened the door, he blinked. Then froze. Stared.

“Oh!” Her face reddened. What little he could see of it, hiding within the glorious abundance of long blond dancing curls that hung over her shoulders almost to her waist. Her hair made a magnificent golden halo, and she was an angel. And his angel wore no head covering.

His mouth went dry. He stared. And kept staring. His fingers itched to touch it. Of course, he’d seen his sisters like that occasionally. And he’d seen women from outside the church with all sorts of hairstyles, but the shock of seeing those long blond curls on the woman he loved was almost more than he could bear. Yet he couldn’t look away. His heart pounded with male excitement. He grinned. “I probably should’ve called.” So glad I didn’t.

She tried to brush her hair off her shoulders, but it just bounced back.

“It’s really curly. How do you get it under your cap?”

She straightened her shoulders.
