I do my best not to laugh at his horrified expression and the fact that he’d somehow only noticed Jackson’s intent.
Mary Ann screams joyously at me from her spot. “Get cooking, Callie! We got dates tomorrow!”
Danny takes a minute to recover but then pulls me in. “Thank you. I loved watching that. Okay, most of that.” He’s protective over Mary Ann, but he’ll have to get over it.
“I’m glad,” I whisper coyly. “Their double date might be on your property. Perhaps. A picnic. Only, you know, if we’d already planned this out.”
“I might need a minute,” he says as he runs a hand through his hair. “But okay.”
“I’ll help you work through that minute,” I assure him.
“You’d better. I gotta keep working, but I’ll be back, I swear. And tonight? Maybe we’ll even watch the polar bears for a bit.Before.”
His kiss is still so new and passionate, and admittedly, I don’t know what to do with that energy.
I bite my lip when he lifts his mouth from mine and murmurs, “Seems love is in the air in Wake.”
