Aja shook her head, grinning at him for the first time. It was brighter than the sun behind her, and prettier too. She popped her spoon into her mouth and closed the container, leaving her cobbler half eaten.
“I’ve got to head inside.” She sounded almost sad about it. “I’ve got four very long hours in one of those chairs ahead of me so I’m going to save the rest for later.”
“Smart girl,” he chuckled.
“Thank you, Walker. It really is incredible.”
“No problem. Like I said, everybody needs to try this at least once.”
“I have a feeling I’m not going to be satisfied with just one piece.”
“You won’t,” he assured her. “Now that you’ve tried it, you won’t be able to help yourself from comin’ back to get some more.”
She smiled again, then waved good-bye. “I’ll see you Wednesday?”
“Gram would kill me if I disrupted her bingo night, so yes, definitely.”
Walker kept an eye on her as she started walking away, and he moved two spots over to his truck. But instead of getting inside and driving back to Gram’s, he leaned against the closed truck bed. He’d idle a while, finish his dessert, feel the sun on his skin a little longer. It was beautiful out, and he was suddenly feeling good. Aja didn’t seem to want to rush inside either, keeping her strides short enough to make her ass bounce with each step. Walker watched her, ankles crossed as he stood, digging into his cobbler. When she was halfway there, she looked over her shoulder at him, and he smiled, lazy and satisfied.
He couldn’t be sure, it wouldn’t have been the first time his imagination had run away with him, but he could have sworn he saw her smile right back.
