all night.”
    Yeah, cake, I bet. She decided to ignore his comment. “If you don’t mind watching Blossom, I’d like to freshen up before we go out.” She didn’t wait for an answer, knowing that whatever came out of his mouth would just be more sexual innuendo. She didn’t want him reading her thoughts, or he might just be tempted to join her in the shower. And what was worse – she would have let him.
    Drew hadn’t anticipated being left to play with the dog for more than thirty minutes—thirty tortuous minutes, knowing she was naked, wet, and if he read the situation correctly, wanting him. Though he’d made a lot of progress with Blossom, he wasn’t about to push his luck and enter that house uninvited. Thankfully his wait was soon over. Wearing a pair of white shorts that showed off her long sexy legs, and a T-shirt that clung to her full breasts—making him want her even more—she approached him. Is there anything she doesn’t look good in? No, she was drop-dead gorgeous, the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on. How was she still single at thirty-two?
    Then he remembered her lifestyle. She had mentioned traveling continuously from one location to another while in the Marines. That mustn’t have presented much of an opportunity to settle down, to make a commitment and have a family. Family. She’d never mentioned hers. I’ll have to ask her about that.
    “Sorry to keep you waiting so long. Hope Blossom didn’t wear you out. She’s still playful like a puppy. She just turned two a few months ago, and, if you haven’t noticed already, she has endless amount energy.”
    I have more than enough to spare myself. “You have a great dog here, but sorry Blossom, you’re not invited to dinner.” He watched Blossom, who turned her head slightly as though she understood. A slight whine left her, and she lay down. Great, now I’ve disappointed all the ladies in the house.
    They made their way to his Jeep, which was still parked behind her Bug. “Your town, where would you like to go?”
    “There’s a small diner not far from here. It’s early; I think we can still get a table.”
    He started the Jeep, plugged in the address she provided, and backed out of the driveway. The one thing he hated about traveling was the rental cars. Asked for a fancy convertible and got a Jeep. He could see Blossom’s head staring him down over the white picket fence as he pulled away. No promises, Blossom. Even my best behavior isn’t normally considered good behavior.
    Drew had to do a little coaxing with the hostess, but they realized he was not one to take no for an answer. He wanted the table on the patio set far apart from the rest. He did not care if it said reserved; whoever it was would just have to take whatever table was left. Dinner might not have gone quite as planned last night, but today was a new day, which meant new opportunities, and he was not about to blow it.
    “What did you say to her? As long as I’ve come here, this table has always said reserved and never been used.” Katherine’s expression was one of mystery and concern.
    “I just explained that was the table I wanted.” Threatened and bribed, but all the same, my point was taken.
    She had chosen well. They were high enough on the hill to have a view of the vineyards down below. The menu was full of light healthy options and not one he normally would have chosen. He had found the tacos unusual; the contents were stuffed into crisp lettuce instead of a tortilla. Is this supposed to fill me up? Katherine had explained the benefits of eating this healthier choice. Healthy or not, Drew was a meat and potato type of guy, and dessert was now a necessity not an option. Until some doctor told him he had to, he had no plans on making this kind of change anytime soon.
    The conversation was light and at times felt forced. Was she still upset at him for ruining her dinner last night? No, that couldn’t be it. There was something else; he
