The kid chuckled. I turned to see Killian standing behind me, humor in his eyes, stirring memories of our walk from the other day. It took effort not to take him all in, because no one should look that good.

“Can’t decide?” he asked.

Decide what? My gaze lifted from his arms that looked amazing in that tee. “What?”

He jerked his chin. “Can’t decide on a grill.”

The man should come with a warning. I wasn’t even sure I liked him, but I still wasn’t immune. “I’m cooking dinner for Liam tomorrow night. I was going to make steak, so I wanted a grill, but I didn’t know there were so many to choose from.”

He studied me for a few seconds, but what he was thinking I hadn’t a clue. “You can’t go wrong with the Genesis.”

The kid was nodding his head in agreement.

“Okay, the Genesis it is then. Does it come in colors? I asked.

The kid laughed.

Killian muttered something under his breath. I ignored him.

“Yeah, red, copper, black or charcoal gray.”

“I’ll take the gray.”

“You need it delivered?” the kid asked. “What kind of car do you drive?”

“A Jeep.”

“You’ll need it delivered.”

“Put it in my truck. I’ll drop it off. Don’t forget the propane,” Killian said.

I turned my head so fast I got a little lightheaded. “Thanks,” I said, surprised by his offer.

He nodded his head before he strolled from the store.

The kid called through the headset he was wearing. “Need a gray Genesis. Killian’s truck out front. Tank too.” He looked at me. “I’ll ring you up.”

I stepped outside to find Killian on his phone, leaning against his black pickup. He saw me and ended the call. I wondered who he was talking to, a girlfriend maybe.

“No sheriff vehicle?”

“Not in the budget.”

“Thanks for your help,” I said. “I really appreciate it.”

He nodded his head.

“Where are your dogs?” I asked.

“Home.”

I glanced around while we waited and noticed the pie shop a little ways down. I pointed to it then looked back at Killian. “Pie. I like pie.”

Humor danced in those eyes again when the kid came out with my grill.
