“Scared? Of what?”

“What would a date hurt?”
“Don’t you think we’re too different?”

He pulled her back against his chest to whisper against her hair, “Oh, Sunshine, I did a lot of things to your honor this weekend.”
That made her laugh out loud.
Then he added, “And I’m looking forward to doing it again.”
She was, too.
I can do casualshe reminded herself as closed her eyes, content in his arms. Should they cross paths again, that is.
