Оглавление“Well, there you go. Longest eight-minute ride of your life,” Jacob said.
Heather unbuckled her seat belt and faced him. “Aren’t you going to stay to help decorate the tree and see the lighting?”
He really had nowhere else to be. Technically, he was on duty. And technically, this was his important assignment today. “I guess I could stay for a bit.” He shut off the car and reached for his gloves in the backseat, just as she went to grab hers.
Their heads butted and she jumped back. “Ow.”
He laughed. “Sorry. You stay there. I’ll get the gloves.”
Instead of handing hers over, he held one open for her.
She sent him a funny look as she slid her hand into the soft cashmere, then she held her other hand up for the second. “I’ll pretend that wasn’t totally awkward,” she said as she opened the door.
He touched her arm, stopping her.
She turned back in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just want to say thank you...for making the effort.” He wasn’t exactly making it easy for people in town to get to know him, and she could have continued ignoring him like everyone else.
“No problem...but I’m going to be gone soon, so you’ll have to step up if you want people around here to accept you.”
And what if he only wanted acceptance from the one person who was leaving soon? Then what?
