The sound of Laurie’s soft voice brought Tuck’s attention to her eyes. Determination simmered there, along with a dash of hope.

“You realize I have my own issues, right? I spent most of my adult life trying to get out from under my parents. You said it yourself. I’m stubborn.”

She rushed her words and he did his best not to grin. Yes, she was stubborn. And nervous. He found it adorable. “Did they insist that you go into the family business?”

“My parents are very well off. My sister and I were raised by a nanny. Everything was provided for us and they insisted we continue to take money from them. My sister has lived off the support they’ve offered. I wanted to prove I could handle life on my own. It may not be pretty, and I may have had to start from the bottom, but I’m doing it.”

He wouldn’t have guessed she came from a rich family. Thinking about where she was living now, he realized just how much effort she was going to in order to prove to herself, and anyone else, that she could do it on her own.

“I admire that. Even if they don’t say so, I imagine your parents are proud of you. They should be.” He lightly ran the back of a finger down one of her cheeks, marveling at the softness of her skin. Almost as if he were painting it himself, her face turned a light shade of pink in the wake of his touch. “Come on, it’s going to be dark soon. We’d better head back.”

They’d made it halfway around the pond and it was getting cold. They walked significantly faster getting back to their cars.

Laurie cleared her throat as she rubbed her hands together to create some warmth. “We’ve established we both have things we are battling with in our past that we can’t seem to shake. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?”

Tuck reached over and tucked one of her hands into his own. He didn’t really have any answers for her. Instead, he spoke the one thing that seemed to echo through his whole being. “Together?”

She squeezed his hand and gave him a shy smile. “I like the sound of that.”

“I’ll come by and pick you up around five tomorrow and take you to get your gun. Will that work?”

“Perfectly.”

He pulled her hand closer and brushed his lips against the smooth skin of her wrist. “Be careful going home. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

He thoroughly enjoyed the small smile on her face and the light pink that colored her cheeks as she climbed into her car and disappeared from view.
