TWENTY-THREE

Barrett had taken many trips to San Francisco before, and had pretty much seen everything the city had to offer.

But, he had to admit, seeing it through Harmony’s eyes was fun. There was nothing like playing tour guide for someone who’d never been here before.

There was no doubt San Francisco was a beautiful city, so he’d enjoyed every second of taking her to see all the sights.

They stood at the railing at the edge of Pier 39. He breathed in the crisp sea air, making him wish he were out on his boat right now doing some fishing. A large group of sea lions sunbathed on the boat docks.

“This is amazing,” Harmony said. “They’re so cute.”

She got out her phone to take pictures.

“Well, they’re noisy. And they smell.”

She laughed. “They’re definitely noisy. All that barking. What do you think they’re talking about?”

“Probably things like ‘Move over, you’re in my spot.’ Or ‘Hey, that’s my woman you’re hitting on.’”

She rolled her eyes. “You’re such a guy.”

“Come on. Look at those two big ones yelling at each other. There’s a ton of sea lion testosterone flying around.”

“If you say so. And in the meantime the lady sea lions are ignoring it all, sunning themselves on the deck, oblivious to all that male posturing.”

“Imagine that. Just like human women, ignoring all our best moves.”

She leaned against him. “We can’t make it too easy for you.”

Barrett’s phone buzzed. He pulled it out of his pocket and read the text message.

“It’s Flynn. The interview went well and he’s bringing the chef—whose name is Amelia—over to the house to cook dinner for us.”

“That’s great news, right? He seemed eager to hire a head chef, and if he’s bringing her to the house to cook dinner, he must really like what she could bring to his restaurant.”

He typed a text message back to his brother, then shoved his phone back in his pocket. “I hope so. I guess we’ll find out at dinner tonight.”

She slipped her hand in his. “In the meantime, how about a ride on a cable car?”

Now that was something he hadn’t done yet. “Sure.”

They grabbed the cable car on Hyde Street and rode the entire line and back. Barrett had to admit it was pretty fun, especially since the cable car was crowded, so they had to stand, and he had his arm around Harmony the entire time. Her body was pressed to his and though she held on to a pole, the movements of the cable car shoved her into him.

He didn’t mind that at all. Neither, it appeared, did Harmony, as after a while she turned to face him, wrapping her arm around him.

“You’re missing the sights.”

“I don’t know about that. You’re a pretty hot sight.”

He bent and brushed his lips across hers, wishing he could deepen the kiss and take a full taste of her. But he was mindful of their audience on the cable car, which included children, so he tabled that thought for later.

Once they hopped off the cable car, he took her hand and they headed toward his car.
