because he thought they’d get back together. He was just making polite conversation. And why would he want to renew a relationship with someone who’d committed the ultimate hurt ?
    “That’s nice for you,” she simply said, now unable to look at him.
    “ Her name’s Cathy Moran. She’s older than me, divorced and has a four year old boy.”
    She didn’t answer, couldn’t answer , because she didn’t want to hear about the woman who obviously had his heart. Sophie leaned her head against the pane of glass in the SUV and closed her eyes , almost on the brink of tears. Yeah, it was silly, but when it came to Wade…
    “You okay, Sophie ? ”
    “Just tired.”
    “Why don’t you take a nap? No snoring though.”
    She almost laughed, almost.
     
     

 
    Chapter Four
     
    Wade tried to keep his eyes on the road ahead of him , and but every now and then he was tempted to take the odd peek at Sophie. Seeing her again had been rougher on him tha n he’d ever imagined possible . He’d turned on the cruise control a nd glanced sideways at her .
    Even as a child she’d been pretty , but her beauty had literally taken his breath away when he’d turned and spotted her at the airpor t. He hadn’t been able to catch it for a coupl e of seconds as she’d hurried toward him .
    Sophie wiggled a little , and then her head fell down further onto her chest. He hoped she wou ldn’t get a kink in her neck. However, he didn’t want to wake her because she looked so peaceful.
    He snicke red a little when he heard a faint snore escape her lips. The first time he’d found out she wa s a snorer was one hot summer day when they’d built a tree house on her grandmother’s property , and both of them had fallen asleep. He’d heard her snore now and then , and they’d become more frequent and a touch louder. When she’d finally woken up he’d teased her big time.
    “I do not snore,” she had said.
    “How would you know what you do when you’re asleep?”
    “I’d know if I snore . Grans would tell me because her bedroom is opposite m ine , and we both leave our door s open so the dog can sleep on our beds when he wants.”
    “She’s too polite.”
    “ I bet it’s you who was snoring , and you’re blaming me.”
    “How could I be snoring if I was wide awake?”
    “Then it’s one of the horses because it wasn’t me.”
    She’d folded her arms across her chest and pushed out her lower lip , and he’d burst out laughing.
    “Don’t worry , Soph , because you’ll be marrying me, sleeping next to me for the rest of your life , so no one ever has to know your secret.”
    Wade took in a deep breath. He wondered if her ex had heard her snoring and what he’d thought. He shook his head. He didn’t want to go down that road and think about Travis right now.
    When he’d set eyes on Sophie at the airport he’d fallen in love with her all ove r again. Nope, that wasn’t true; he’d never fallen out of love with her. As they walked to his SUV he’d had the strangest thought about the two of them reconnecting while she was home, becoming lovers even. But then he’d realized maybe that’s not what she wanted , and he’d get hurt again. T hey’d be embarrassed , and no t speak to one another for the next eight years. He never want ed that to happen ever again. Now they’d reconnected he wanted it to stay like that.
    And then there was Cathy.
    He ’d told Soph ie about her for one reason , and it wasn’t to let her know he was off limits while she was home , but more as a reminder to himself that he wasn’t available . He and Cathy had connected one night when they’d both been lonely and dining alone at one of Greenville ’s cafes. He had to admit that up ‘ til now it had been more a physical thing rather than a real romance.
    While he and Cathy hadn’t moved into the seriou s zone in their relationship , and he wasn’t sure if they ever would, he wasn’t the kind of guy who’d drop a woman at a mo
