reminded of the fact that the airport was soon to be someone else’s made Abby involuntarily bristle. “I guess you can if you want to,” she muttered, trying not to sound offended, since he was offering to help. She knew she had covered her reaction poorly when Jake’s face fell. If he planned on hanging around her for the day, he was going to catch on soon to the fact that she wasn’t thrilled that someone was buying her family’s airport. Abby wondered how loyal he was to his boss and how much she could trust this guy.
    She could tell he wanted to change the subject—and fast—when he asked, “So what do you do for fun around here?”
                  Abby thought while she checked fluid levels. “There really isn’t that much to do in town,” she replied after a moment of contemplation. “Most of the draw to Pinesville lies in the ski resort and lodge about half an hour away.”
                  “I’m familiar with Big Moose Resort. The cabin we are staying at is part of the resort, but I’m not too much of a skier,” Jake told her.
                  “It’s really fun once you get the hang of it, and I go whenever I get a free day during the week, which isn’t often. The weekend crowd makes it too crowded to be fun, in my opinion,” Abby said as she worked.
                  For the next hour, Jake helped Abby finish preparing the plane that was scheduled for takeoff. They worked mostly in a comfortable silence, intently focused on their task. He handed Abby tools and replaced fluids.
                  “You really know what you are doing,” Abby remarked. She admired the pride he seemed to take in even the most menial task.
                  “I grew up around planes. My dad was a pilot, too,” Jake told her.
                  While they were walking to the hanger that housed the next plane on Abby’s list, Jake said, “I wonder what Will is up to with the blonde he met yesterday.”
                  Abby wasn’t sure how to answer Jake. She selfishly and ridiculously hoped that Scarlett’s foolish plan was actually going to work, but she didn’t want Jake to catch on that his wealthy friend Will could possibly be in the process of becoming ensnared.
                  “I am sure Scarlett is just showing Will around,” Abby said casually.
                  There was no way Jake or Will could find out about Scarlett’s ridiculous plan. Not only would it sabotage the whole thing, but it may cause their father to lose the deal. Even though Abby wanted the airport to stay just as it was, her father surely had good reasons for initiating the sale in the first place, and Abby did not want herself or Scarlett to incur the fury of their father if they botched it up.
                  “You’re probably right,” Jake acquiesced.

                  The sun streaming through Will’s bedroom windows woke Scarlett from her heavy slumber. For just a moment she forgot where she was, but the sound of Will’s light snoring and his arm haphazardly tossed across her waist helped her remember. She lazily smiled as memories of the previous night came to her mind. Thank heavens Will seemed to genuinely like her, and she was happy to find that she genuinely liked him, as well, and not just because liking him was the best thing for her family.He was charming, kind, and made her laugh constantly. When they first left the airport yesterday, she had quickly relaxed and just acted like herself. Will had an ease about him that would make anyone feel comfortable.
    She had figured that she would have ended up in bed with him at some point, but not the first night. She frowned, hoping their night together would not deter her plan. This most definitely had not been part of it, but between his charisma, a few too many beers, and the searing kiss she had only meant to say goodbye
