CHAPTER NINE

The drive back to town didn’t take long, and Zak was on the phone for most of it. He gave the details of the change in the night’s meeting plans to at least three people, who would probably phone three more, and so on, until everybody had heard the news.

When they arrived at the bakery, he parked in front, turning the engine off. Then he faced her, taking her hand across the center console of the SUV.

“I’m really sorry our picnic got ruined.” He seemed so serious, and she was quick to reassure him.

“It wasn’t your fault. And up to that ill-fated walk by the water, I thought it was a great afternoon. You treated me like a queen, and then, you did your knight-in-shining-armor act and saved my life.” She laughed and was relieved when he smiled too, briefly. “You totally impressed me, Zak, and…” She hesitated a bit, not knowing if what she was about to say was okay, but wanting him to know anyway. “I loved seeing you as a bear.”

“Really?” He seemed concerned. “I didn’t scare you?”

“Scare me? When you were saving my life?” Her tone was incredulous. “No way. Zak, you’re amazing, and I’m so glad you were there. Human or bear, you’re still Zak, and you’re the bravest man I know.” She leaned over and hugged him, pressing kisses to his cheek, his ear, wherever she could reach.

Emotion threatened to overcome her as she thought about the close call this afternoon. Zak was such a great guy. She had deep feelings for him, even though they’d only known each other a short time.

He held her, rubbing her back and stroking her hair as she trembled. The reaction from her brush with danger had never really dissipated. She’d been shaky since the had monster attacked, but she’d kept going. Only now did she realize she was still trembling, emotion clogging her throat.

“It’s okay, baby. Let it out, if you need to. I’m here for you,” he crooned near her ear, overcoming the last of her resistance.

The tears came then. Tears of anger that she’d been attacked out of the blue, for no discernible reason. Tears for the fear that had gripped her heart and tears of relief. So much relief.

Zak held her throughout, speaking soft words of reassurance.
