“It was lovely to meet you finally.” He gave her his signature stoic nod before he peeled away and headed back to his office.

“I’m going to do the same. We’ll see you ladies in a little bit.” Zach said his goodbyes and then followed after their older brother. There was no reason for Sam to hang around, but he couldn’t get the message that it was time to go down to his feet. He watched Amanda as she smiled at Delfi and Laura behind the desk. He had to get her alone so they could talk.

“Everything okay?” Robyn asked. Sam snapped out of his trance. He’d definitely been staring.

“Um, yeah, all good. Helene, I’m gonna head back to the house, let you ladies do your girly things,” he teased. “But I’ll be there for the rehearsal.”

“Great. Thank you again. Your whole family—just, thank you.”

“Of course.” He shot her a wink and headed for the door. He couldn’t stop himself from tapping Amanda’s shoulder. She looked back at him, her throat working as she swallowed. “It was nice to meet you,” Sam said.

“Likewise,” she replied before she took the keycard Laura handed her. Sam could see the pleading in her eyes. She was just as surprised as he was and what’s more, Sam was pretty sure he wasn’t the only one who’d kept pretty quiet about their rendezvous. So Helene didn’t know. Maybe Amanda didn’t want her to know. It was silly for Sam to speculate. Later, when things quieted down or ramped up and there was so much going on no one would notice if he and one of the wedding guests slipped away, he’d pull Amanda aside and see where her head was at. And if she wasn’t interested in getting to know him any further he could at least give her a hard time for stealing his Oscar.

Chapter 5

Amanda was proud she’d managed to wait until she’d gotten to her room to have a mini freak-out. The chances of running into Sam on the Pleasant family ranch were pretty high. She’d known she’d be risking another encounter by showing up on his turf. And she’d prepared for that, spent half of the two-hour drive rehearsing exactly what she would say, what excuses she would use to avoid him if he wanted to revisit what had happened between them that Sunday night.
