Chapter Nine

After returning the horse to the stables and explaining what happened with the other one, they returned to Galway via taxi. The rest of the group met them at Red Gables Restaurant, famous for its authentic Irish food and friendly atmosphere.

Simone arranged for them to have the entire establishment to themselves, making it an enjoyable evening. They sampled the different menu items and drinks as they danced to live music by one of the local bands.

“How was your special outing today?” Tara asked, as she came up to Samuel and Vanessa, who were taking a break at one of the tables surrounding the dance floor. Wade was standing beside her, seeming just as interested in their answer as his fiancée was.

“It was nice,” Vanessa confessed with a smile. “Samuel knew exactly how to make me happy.”

“I bet he did,” Wade teased with a chuckle. “He’s good at figuring out what someone wants and giving it to them.”

The smile disappeared from Vanessa’s face as she looked over at Samuel skeptically. Samuel gave his friend a dirty look, disliking that he made him sound like he only did nice things for people to get something in return. “What’s wrong with me wanting to make people happy?”

“Nothing,” Wade said his eyes widening with shock. “You’ve always been a good friend to me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have met Tara and found my own happiness.”

Samuel immediately wished he’d hadn’t jumped to the wrong conclusion. Wade was the last person to think the worst of him. “I might have sent you the invitation to the club, but you’re the one that got her to fall in love with you by being the kind and generous person you are. I could learn a thing or two from you.”

“Don’t sell yourself short. I think you have a lot of potential under that nonchalant façade,” Tara flattered. “You might be a diamond in the rough, but you’re still a diamond.”

Samuel was touched by their kind words. It didn’t, however, go unnoticed by him that during the conversation, Vanessa had remained quiet. Part of him couldn’t help but wonder if it was because he hadn’t been the best at communicating how he felt when they talked about their relationship earlier. She deserved to know he thought she was the most special woman in the world, but he was afraid of rejection. If he told her he cared, and she didn’t want to take a chance on a real relationship with him, it would devastate him. He also knew that if he didn’t tell her, he could risk losing her for her good.

Pushing the troubling thoughts aside, he stretched out his hand to Vanessa. “Care for another dance?”

“I’d love to,” she said, placing her own hand in his as he guided her out onto the dance floor.

Gathering Vanessa into his arms was exactly what he needed. She fit perfectly against him as they danced to the beat of the music. He wrapped his arms tighter around
