“Okay,” she said. “This weekend.”
“Hold on a damn minute.” Heidi furrowed her brow. “Did you just plan a wedding in front of me?”
“I…thinkwe did?” Valerie said, wondering.
Tim wrapped up his sandwich and pushed back his chair. Then he grabbed Valerie’s hand and her to her feet. “Come on.”
“Where are we going?”
“We’ve got some paperwork to do. I’m not letting you change your mind. If I’m going to fly my parents up here—”
She grabbed her sandwich before he could make her abandon it. “I’m not going to change my mind! I’m staying, Timmy.Forever. I love you. I’m going to make this work.”
He pulled her against his chest and tipped her chin up so she’d meet his stern gaze. “You sure?”
“Sosure. It feels right.”
“And you love me.”
“And I love you.”
“Woman, you’d better.”
“Would you happen to like to tell me that love me, too, or are you just marrying me because you like the way I look in stockings?”
The laugh lines at the corners of his deepened as his eyes narrowed in mirth. “I wouldn’t like the stockings so much if I didn’t love the woman wearing them. You drive me to distraction, woman, I swear you do.”
“I hear that condition is contagious.”
“You sure you don’t have time to run a couple of errands before you go back to work?” His palms slipped down her back to her ass, which he groped indiscreetly.
She let out a nervous laugh and glanced behind her. Most folks in the deli were trying to mind their own business. Heidi, of course, leered and grinned saucily.
Valerie cleared her throat and pushed up onto her tiptoes. She whispered, “Maybe a short errand in the back of your truck?”
“Mmm. I know exactly where to park.” He started pulling her to the door, and called out to Heidi, “Be back in a bit. Need to run an errand with my fiancée.”
“I can’t believe I’m someone’s fiancée,” Valerie said as he pulled her outside.
“Don’t get used to the feeling, pretty girl. It won’t last long.”
