Be careful, or I may find it easier to be rid of you.”

Kathryn stared as he turned and walked from the cabin. He could not mean that! No, of course he didn’t. And yet what did she really know of this man? He guarded his feelings so well that anything might be going on inside his head.

Kathryn sat on the edge of the bed, hugging herself as she tried to come to terms with her feelings. For a moment, as she’d gazed into his eyes, she had wanted him to kiss her. How foolish she was!
