The drive to Mendocino was the perfect setting for Clover and me to get to know each other better. I’d missed having her around all the time to talk to, and it felt so right having her on the passenger side of my pickup.

“So, have you thought of what you want to do now that your parents sold the farm?” I asked.

“I don’t really know,” she said. “I’ve never been one of those people who always knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. Probably why I was perfectly happy taking care of the goats and gardens every day.”

I thought for a moment, trying to come up with what to say, but the best I could do was, “You’ve got plenty of time.”

She worried her bottom lip between her teeth and smiled rather wistfully as Highway 1 wound around the tight curves, taking us from 101 North to the coast, cutting west through mountain forests. “I guess serving coffee the rest of my life isn’t the most ambitious thing I could ever aspire to.”

I picked up her hand and gave it a gentle massage. “You can work there for as long as you need.”

Clover kicked up her bare feet on the dash, and I wondered why her every movement reminded me of how much I wanted to be inside her. There was nothing contrived or insincere about anything she did. I wasn’t a fan of phony vibes or playing games, and neither would even occur to her.

She looked as if she were weighing my offer and said, “I don’t know. The boss can be a real hard ass, you know?”

The drive to the Mendocino Coast took a few hours, and during that time, Clover and I discussed her dreams and dislikes. We got to know each other better, and if I wasn’t mistaken, I wasn’t the only one whose feelings had shifted. Were we falling head over heels for one another?

I didn’t want to push it too soon any more than I wanted to ruin the mood of this perfect road trip. Instead, I let myself relish every moment of the drive, with her at my side. She was like a piece of decadent dark chocolate to be savored and enjoyed. And the entire way there, I pretended she was mine forever.

We checked in to The Sea Ranch Lodge up the coast from Mendocino and hung out until it was time for our reservation at the restaurant overlooking the ocean.

They decorated the place with candles and white linen tablecloths. We ordered food from an extensive menu that included seafood and local delicacies. The conversation flowed easily, as if we’d spent years in each other’s company as adults, instead of just over a month now.

When it came time for dessert, however, I had something much more important than sweets on my mind. The question at the tip of my tongue hammered at me.

I cleared my throat before asking Clover about what had been on my mind the entire drive.
