Chapters (31)

“I love you, too.” Ten thousand times since August, she whispered those words to a memory. To say them now kindled equal parts relief and joy. Closing her eyes, she basked in the warmth of that love. When she opened them again, she was blinded by a revelation as incandescent as fire from the sky.

That indefinable color of his eyes?

Colorado, summer-sky-blue.

Peeking beneath her lashes, she caught his hand and interlaced her fingers between his. “Do you want to come inside?”

His gaze darkened. “I do. But first, I want you to show me something.”

She honeyed her voice. “Anything.”

He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close. Lowering his lips to her ear, he took in a whispered breath. “Show me how that pop-top opens into a tent.”

Just like that, she was back in the front seat, cruising Route 45 with a drop-dead gorgeous Amish dude with insatiable curiosity and a lust for speed. Laughter bubbled inside. She rose onto tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Oh, I’ll pop the top, all right.” She dashed toward the van, pausing only to toss a wink over one freckled shoulder. “But first? I’m teaching you to drive.”

A word about the author…

Wendy Rich Stetson is a New York City girl who still considers the green ridges of Central Pennsylvania her home. She grew up watching the country roll by from the back of a 1979 VW camper van, and she keeps a running list of favorite roadside attractions from coast to coast. Now an author of clean and wholesome romance, Wendy is no stranger to storytelling. She’s a Broadway and television actress, an audiobook narrator, and a mom who enjoys little more than reading bedtime stories to her daughter. And cake. Wendy lives in Upper Manhattan with her family of three and Maine Coon kitty, Tessa.
