    Carly twirled her finger in the air, indicating that Sabrina should turn around. “You look adorable,” Carly said.
    “Adorable?” Sabrina looked down at the royal blue blouse with the cowl neck and her newest pair of jeans. “I was hoping for sexy.”
    “It’s definitely all that. Very hot.” Carly grinned and propped her hands on her curvy hips. “I feel like a mom about to send her daughter out to the prom. Can I take pics of you two when he gets here?”
    Sabrina playfully slapped her friend on the arm. “Don’t you dare.”
    “I’m so glad you decided to do this.” Carly flopped on her bed. “You deserve some fun.”
    Sabrina inserted silver hoops in her earlobes as she studied her image in the mirror. The blouse was flattering and the color was one of her best. She wore the Celtic knot that Carly had given her along with her silver watch and a sapphire and diamond ring set in white gold.
    “I wonder if Wyatt knows that guy you told me helped you this morning,” Carly said. “I’ve never heard of him, but then it’s impossible to know everyone in Sonoita and Patagonia and the San Rafael Valley.”
    With a shrug, Sabrina said, “He seemed nice enough.”
    “You’re not interested in him, too, are you?” Carly asked.
    “Not at all.” Sabrina shook her head. “He’s just a nice guy who bailed me out of trouble and I’m very grateful to him.”
    “I think I hear a truck.” Carly slipped off the bed and started toward the bedroom door. “I think your carriage has arrived.”
    With a laugh, Sabrina stepped into a pair of black ankle boots. She paused as she heard Carly open the front door followed by Wyatt’s deep voice. She shivered a little at the thought of spending time with him then shook her head. She was running way ahead of herself and heading in a direction she didn’t plan to go to.
    She paused for a moment and frowned. If she wasn’t planning on more than a date with Wyatt, what was she planning on?
    A fun night out. She held her hand to her belly and took a deep breath. She’d just take it from there. Rather than taking a purse, she stuffed into one pocket her cell phone. In another pocket she slipped her driver’s license, a credit card, and a twenty for emergencies.
    She took a deep breath and walked out of Carly’s room, down the hall, and to the living room. Sabrina almost stopped in her tracks when she saw Wyatt. He looked so hot, so sexy, that it sent thrills through her belly just seeing him.
    From head to toe he was dressed in black, down to his boots. He even held a black Stetson in his hands. A wave of dark brown hair fell over his forehead and his blue eyes were almost piercing in their intensity. His shoulders filled out his dress shirt that fit comfortably around the breadth of his chest and his Wrangler jeans were snug, fitting him perfectly.
    When she reached him she was aware of the appreciation in his gaze, the smile on his lips that suggested so many things.
    “You look beautiful.” The way Wyatt said it was so genuine that it made her feel like a princess about to be drawn away in a carriage to a ball just like Carly had teased her.
    The proud way Carly was looking at Sabrina made her worry that her friend really was going to pull out her camera and start taking pictures.
    “Ready?” Wyatt asked.
    Sabrina nodded. “See you later,” she said to Carly who ushered them out the door with a smile.
    She held onto the rail as she walked down the porch steps. The heels on her ankle boots were on the high side and she didn’t want to land in a heap at the bottom of the stairs. She knew he wanted to take her hand but he wasn’t pushing it.
    He held the door of his truck open for her and helped her climb in. His touch sent wildfire throughout her.
    Damn was she ever in trouble. She watched him as he rounded the truck to the driver’s side and hoped she wasn’t making a mistake.
    The drive from Patagonia to the steakhouse in Sonoita was only about fifteen
