Chapter Eleven

While the picnic and horseback ride were going to be great, and Isaac would be able to spend the day with his very favorite people in the world, all he really wanted at this moment was to hear Brooke’s song up close. Before he’d rung her bell, he’d recognized it as the tune she’d hummed incessantly, and annoyingly, at the bookstore a couple weeks back. Now it was practically a full-fledged song. That Brooke came up with it on her own amazed him. Not that he should have been surprised. One thing he’d known about her for a long time was that she was talented. Like crazy-good talented.

Back in high school band, he’d been able to hold his own—except when it came to jazz band improv, that was a joke—but after senior year, Isaac had tucked his trumpet away and never missed it—well, maybe on the Fourth of July when he heard “Stars and Stripes Forever.” But Brooke . . . The woman had music in her soul. Bright, shiny, happy music that needed to come out and bless the rest of them.

When he had heard faint notes drifting down the walk as he approached her door, Isaac had peeked through the sidelight, instantly caught in the brilliance of Brooke as she played. Emotion moved through her body as she swayed to the music, completely oblivious to anything else in the world. What he wouldn’t give to know what was in her heart at that moment, what inspired her. He had wanted so badly to hear the words she was singing, but with her back to him, he couldn’t even lip-read. She had a gorgeous voice, and country song or no, he could listen to that voice sing to him any day, anywhere, and it would make him complete.

“Do we have everything?” Isaac looked around Brooke’s tidy room for other totes or other obvious items for their trip. Decked out in cottage-style warm whites and coastal blues, Brooke’s living room was exactly how he expected it to look—minus the flowers he’d expected. Medium-toned hardwood floors and the fireplace surround offset the light-colored rug and couches, a sparkling chandelier like a spotlight over the black grand piano. He had no idea how she’d gotten that into the room, but he had to admit it was a gorgeous instrument and very Brooke. Light, happy, and just this side of quirky with its vaulted ceiling and shiplap walls accented with pops of coral and pink. While it sounded like it shouldn’t work, Brooke had a knack for pulling together offbeat color combinations. Probably from all of the years of arranging flowers. A copy of About Grace had been hidden on the loveseat a minute ago, covered with the quilt he was now holding. A bookmark showed she’d already read a third of the book. Had she picked this particular book because he’d mentioned the author at the bookstore?

“We’re all set, then.” Brooke grabbed her keys from the pewter tray on the entry table and closed the door behind them.
