Jesse paced in front of the arrival gate, waiting for her plane to land. Calling her had been stupid, impulsive, and ill-considered. Yet, he’d never been so sure of anything in his life. For years, he’d looked for the kind of love that James had with Lizzie. To love someone so much, well, he would give up anything to be with that person. He smiled as the thought came to him; he was more his mother’s son than he would like to admit.

Inviting Taylor down to Casper without taking the time to think through what had happened had been impulsive. It’s not like he hadn’t had drunken sex before. Or even a one-night stand. But he’d never woken up early and watched the angel sleeping next to him breathe. His fingers itched to pick up a pencil and draw the curve of her arm as it draped over her chest, her hand curling up toward her face.

He caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror. Man, he had it bad. An announcement came over the loud speaker that the Salt Lake flight had just landed. He felt bad for her having to fly to Salt Lake City then out to Casper, but the airlines liked to route their planes through regional hubs rather than send direct flights. Taylor’s flight had taken four hours, but she almost could have driven the distance faster. Brit had been curt when he called the gallery to see what time Taylor’s flight would be landing. Brit was hesitant to give him the details, even after he’d explained he wanted to pick Taylor up since his interviews were over.

“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Brit wavered.

He wondered if she’d been talking about giving him the information or the whole idea of him and Taylor together. Had Taylor told her best friend about last night? He snorted. Of course, she had. Women. They couldn’t keep a secret to save their lives.

Then again, he hadn’t kept their night together a secret, either. After all, he had told his mother. He wanted some sort of approval, or at the very least, support that he wasn’t jumping off a cliff. Of course, that was exactly what he was doing.

He glanced at the approaching crowd from the airplane. Would she see him if he took off and ran? He could hire her a driver, set her up in a hotel room, maybe even send Barb over to explain he was too busy to see her. He should be down at the barns checking out his tack and staring down the bulls. He briefly wondered which one he would be riding later that night. Lost in his escape plan, he didn’t notice her until she put a hand on his arm.

“Jesse, what are you doing here?” Taylor looked up at him, confusion evident in her face.

He pushed aside his fears and leaned in to kiss her cheek. “I invited you down. What, you thought I’d just send a car?
