She got her mouth on him finally too. Twice.

Caitlyn thought back over the night as she drove them back to Sapphire Falls the next day. Eli snored softly in the passenger seat, but he’d twined his fingers with hers and their hands rested on the center console between them.

She was happy.

Too happy.

It was going to end. Today probably. Tonight. Tomorrow. Soon. The official call would only come if the Friars wanted Eli, but Stewart, the scout, had promised to call no matter what. To her mind, that was a great sign. Why would he say something like that if Eli didn’t have a good shot? Besides, she’d done a little online research and she knew that the Friars were looking for good pitching. Caleb Hart was their star—and he was amazing—but Yazmer Perez had melted down as soon as he hit the major leagues. They needed someone like Eli Anderson.

She had no doubts whatsoever. Eli would be leaving soon.

But she also had no regrets. Not about last night. Or early this morning. Or later this morning.

She was still grinning when she pulled up in front of his house.

He leaned over to kiss her and said softly, “Want to see you tonight.”

She wanted to see him too. But now things could get dangerous. Seeing him in Sapphire Falls would feel more…real. It would feel more like what she wanted long term. It would give her more to miss.

“How about you come over and tell me when you get the call from Stewart?”

He frowned slightly. “It might not be today.”

She put her hand against his cheek. “It will be today.”

He looked a little sad as he took her hand and kissed the palm. “Maybe.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m not sure how I want that call to go.”

Her heart flipped even as she gave him a stern look. “Yes you do. Stop it. Come over after you hear.”

“It might be a no.”

“It won’t be a no.”

“It could be.”

“Eli.” She sighed. “I’ll bet you that it’s a yes.”

His face brightened a little at that. “What do I get if I win?”

She smiled. “If it’s a no, you get whatever you want from me. And if it’s a yes,” her heart squeezed at that but she went on, “I get whatever I want from you.”

He grinned and kissed her again. “Deal.”

She watched him walk up to his front door and felt a strange combination of happiness, sadness, hope and dread.

Caitlyn was unpacked an hour later and trying to not go over and over—and over and over—last night in her mind.

But it had been so…

And he was so…

And now she was so…

The doorbell rang and she almost wept with relief. A distraction. She’d been this close to calling Bryan to offer to do the bar inventory.

She pulled the door open with a huge smile for whoever was saving her from her lusty daydreams.

Funny thing, the subject of those lusty daydreams was standing with an arm propped on her doorframe.

“Eli. Hi.”

“I got the call.”

Her heart flipped, her stomach swirled and her mind spun.
