Nikki was glad for Tag’s faith in her, but her stomach was still twisted up like a pretzel. Kicking Billy Tom like that had been pure impulse. Thank God for that display of motor oil at her fingertips, because even on his knees and groaning, he looked like he could break her in half like a twig.

They started descending into the canyon, and Tag handed her his phone. “Snap away. Just tell me if you want me to pull off to the side of the road so you can get a better view of something.”

“That sounds great. I’m already thinking about a collage to go above my sofa.” She started taking pictures, one after the other.

“We’ll stop and get copies made of whatever you want on the way home tomorrow,” he offered.

“Or we can wait and let me study them before we do that.” She took several more out the car window.

When they reached the turnout to the picnic area, two hours had passed and she’d snapped more than a hundred pictures. The tiny place had a couple of big empty trash cans, one picnic table, and an awesome view of several formations. Tag got the snack bag from the backseat and set it on the table. Nikki headed straight for a fenced walkway that overlooked miles and miles of the canyon. She’d snapped a dozen more pictures when she turned around to see Tag sitting on the concrete table with his feet on the bench. She motioned for him to join her.

Without asking why, he meandered that way. “I’ve seen this place dozens of times. Even donated a few empty beer cans to those trash bins over there.”

“But I haven’t. And I want a picture of you right there.” She pointed to the end of the fenced area. Tag propped one arm on the fence and looked right at her with those clear eyes that matched the cloudless sky behind him and the blue of his Western shirt. He’d rolled the sleeves up to his elbows, showing off arms that had seen lots of hard work. His black cowboy hat against the sky set off the whole picture. In the distance to the right was a huge ochre-colored formation.

“Should I smile?” he asked.

“Not in this one,” she said. “Just look at me and follow me with your eyes.”

“No problem there. You look pretty damn cute today.”

She took a couple dozen pictures. “That should do it.”

“No sexy come-hither grin?” he asked.

“Give me the best you’ve got.” She focused on him one more time.

“This works better than a grin anytime.” He slid an eyelid shut in a sexy wink. She caught the picture perfectly and decided that would probably be the one in the center of her collage.

“Now it’s time to reverse the situation. Give me the phone and you come out here right where I’m standing and let me take a few pictures of you.”

“Are you sure? The wind is blowing my hair every which way. I don’t have makeup on.
