Chapter Twelve

LUKE WAS UP long before the sun rose Sunday morning. Daisy was sprawled over him, one thigh covering his, her arm draped across his chest. He didn’t want to move, and he knew that if he was going to have time to help her at her father’s farm today, he had to get over to the ranch and get his morning chores done. But she was so warm against him, and when he was with her, every part of him felt full. It didn’t matter where they were or what they were doing. He just loved being with her, and it made him wonder about the emotion everyone knew as love. What did that word really mean? He loved his family in a way that was deep and true, but deep and true only scratched the surface of what he felt for Daisy.

How could four letters hold so much meaning? When he thought of the term I love you, it conjured up feelings of closeness and trust, but the words that filled his mind to define what he felt for Daisy went much further. Depth, truth, mindfulness, passion, stability, friendship, understanding, those were the things he associated with Daisy. Closeness and trust were the base, but feeling all those other connections—depth, truth, mindfulness, passion, stability, friendship, understanding—the ones that sewed them together like an intricate quilt, those had to be rare, because he’d never felt them all bundled up in one person before.

His mind circled back to his father. How could he leave them so easily? Daisy sighed, and he reflexively kissed the top of her head. Not only could he not imagine her leaving in a few short weeks. He knew he could never be the one to leave her. He also knew that if he was ever going to be able to look at her and not have it clouded by unanswered questions about his past, he had to deal with the skeleton in his closet, and Daisy had decisions of her own to make.

He glanced at the envelopes he’d noticed last night on her dresser. They’re my offer letters. He hadn’t asked after her decision last night, didn’t want to think about it, and it turned out it was all he could think about once she’d fallen asleep.

A few weeks will never be enough.

A lifetime might never be enough.

It killed him that he might never have the chance to find out.
