“Leslie, I’m sorry to be calling you so late, but I had to talk to someone.” Jane hadn’t waited until she’d gotten back to her house. As soon as she’d left Max in the parking lot of the coffee shop, she’d rang Leslie.

“It’s okay. I wasn’t sleeping anyway. I got hooked on a television show, and I’ve been binge-watching all the episodes.” Leslie laughed. “I’m tucked into bed, wide awake and halfway through season three. So, thank you for saving me from spending the rest of the night wading through two more seasons.”

Jane chuckled. “You sound like you need to use your own program to find your perfect match.”

“No way. I’m still trying to get BODS off the ground. I don’t have time for a relationship,” Leslie said. “Besides, I had a good one and I’m not sure I’ll find another match as perfect as my first husband.”

“As a wise woman once said to me, you have to be open to the possibilities,” Jane said.

Leslie laughed. “That’s what I get for waxing poetic. How was your date with Max?”

Jane hesitated.

“That bad?” Leslie asked softly.

Jane sighed. “Not bad…but not good.”

“Tell me all about it.”

Jane could imagine Leslie settling back against her pillows. The image helped her open up about the afternoon and evening. She told her about the four-wheeler ride, the picnic and the mud bath, at which point, Leslie laughed.

“I’m sorry, but I can see you covered in mud, trying to impress a guy on the first date.”

“It wasn’t funny. I was a complete mess.”

“Oh, sweetie, have you ever thought that maybe he liked that you weren’t afraid to be a complete mess in front of him?” Leslie chuckled. “Face-plant in the mud. That’s a new one for the book of fifty worst dates.”

Jane’s heart slipped into the bottom of her belly. “Tell me you’re not writing that book.”

Leslie chuckled. “No, dear. But, if I did, my dates would go first. Believe me, I’ve had worse.”

“Worse than being covered in mud?”

Leslie snorted. “Yes. What happened after the mud incident?”

Jane went on to tell her about rinsing off in the creek, rescuing the drowned ATV and riding double all the way back to the barn.

“That doesn’t sound awful. And he let you drive?” Leslie paused. “Which means he had his arms around you all the way back. How did that feel?”

Jane’s body heated. “Other than being soaked to the skin…kind of wonderful.”

“Perfect!” Leslie said. “I knew BODS could do it. The program works.”

“But…”

“Uh-oh, we don’t like buts,” Leslie said. “But what?”

“But I don’t know if he felt the same.”

“What happened when you got back to the barn?”

Jane went into having showered, wearing his T-shirt, eating fruit and holding hands under the stars.

“Sounds like he moved past the mud bath,” Leslie said. “The big question is, did he kiss you?”

Jane had avoided sharing those parts of the day. Sharing information about a kiss felt too personal.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” Leslie said. “Sounds to me like—” Leslie paused. “Wait, I’m getting a call.
