happened and we’ll just laugh it off as a wacky thing to add to the list of things to tell the grandchildren. I’ll just go have lunch and when I come back in an hour, this would never have happened." She grabbed her purse and headed out the door without giving him a chance to reply, making sure she stepped a wide path around him.
Jared watched her hurry out the door and licked his lips again. The taste of her was still there. The smell of vanilla that he had always associated with homecoming finally registered in his brain that the smell was actually of her. Lily might be inexperienced enough to think that the kiss was something she could ignore or the response an ordinary one but Jared was no such novice.

The moment was burned into her brain, branding her with a memory she should not have gotten. The twenty women or rather eighteen so far were due to start arriving tomorrow evening and it suddenly occurred to Lily that she was to play hostess to the woman who would one day be Jared’s wife; it also occurred to her that she looked like the stereotypical ranch hand. She moved away from the bed and stood in front of the full-length mirror, trying to give herself an honest appraisal.
She had waist length hair that remained a rich mahogany color no matter how long she stayed in the sun , but she usually kept it braided; she probably could do with a new hairstyle.
